Insight & Integration – March 2026
“It is safe to be me”

Growing up, many of us learned that it was safer to keep the peace than to be ourselves.
Over time, this can be reinforced in relationships, within ourselves, and in work situations - where taking up space feels vulnerable and at times, isolating.

In March, I’ll be facilitating a remote group session based on this theme:
“It is safe to be me.”

Here’s how it works:
✨ You complete a short intake form
✨ On Sunday 1 March, I will tune into the collective energy of the group
✨ I will do a session using muscle testing, kinesiology, somatic integration, embodiment practices, ThetaHealing, and other techniques and tools
✨ You will receive a detailed email with insights, practices, and a framework to integrate throughout the month

There is no live attendance needed, as everything will land in your inbox.
You work in your own time, in your own space.
Email support is available throughout March.

This is not a quick fix.
It’s about gaining clarity and understanding on how this theme plays out in your life, and gently building self-trust and inner safety, through your awareness and practices.

If you’re ready to reconnect with the parts of you that have been silenced, this space is for you.
Register by 27 February 2026 to be included in the March collective. https://luminousness.as.me/MarchInsights

I look forward to connecting with you,
Nicole 🤍

At a crossroads?

Pause.
Become aware of the lens you’re looking through.
Is it past pain?
Fear?
The need to know?

Pressure… or possibility?

Go beyond the mind.
Drop into your body.
Sit with it, to lessen the urgency that pushes for a decision.
Embody that emotional charge.

Stay for a while in the in-between.
A grounded decision doesn’t come from the mind.
It rises from the body.

13/02/2026

The importance of your internal experience...
When we work with the body, it is not about trying to stop, fix, or change what you are feeling, but building the capacity to be with it. Recognising that the body carries information that talking alone cannot access.

When we allow space to feel an emotion, notice a sensation or observe a reaction to a thought - without fear or being consumed by it - we begin to relate to ourselves differently. This goes beyond mindset. It is about remaining present in your body, even when something challenging is showing up.

It is not about trying to do it all at once or sitting in the depth of discomfort. This work is slow and intentional. It is about nurturing the nervous system while slightly stretching beyond your comfort zone, always knowing you can return to your anchor at any moment.

From that foundation, something powerful begins to unfold: a supportive and compassionate relationship with yourself on all levels - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Self-awareness deepens, creating choice. Choice in how you respond and move forward.

This can be done through small daily check-ins. Staying open and noticing what is there. Being present and intentional in each moment, as best as you can. Allowing a light, almost childlike curiosity to guide your days instead of self-criticism, control or the need to escape.

🌿 At the beginning of the month, I invited you to step into February with intention. To choose a goal or honour a dream, and to observe what unfolds. Capturing moments such as body sensations, emotions, thoughts, reactions, patterns, memories, self-talk, doubts and fears - but also the moments of lightness and flow - and revisiting these insights for greater understanding.

✨ And if you feel ready to go deeper than observation alone, there is still time to join “Beneath the Intention,” a 3 month journey designed to support you as you uncover what has truly been holding you back and gently build the foundation for lasting change by listening to the language of your body.
Sign up by 28 February 2026. For more information visit - https://www.luminousness.net/limitedtime

Listen gently within.

Step Into February with Intention

This isn’t a challenge.
It’s a quiet invitation.

Choose a theme, a focus, a dream to gently hold this month.
Not something to fix or force.
Something your nervous system says yes to.
Let it guide your awareness throughout February.

As you move through your days, simply observe what shows up - in your body, emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and interactions.
Feel into it, is it related to your intention?

Write it down, even if it makes no sense.
You’re not tracking progress, you’re collecting clues.
You might notice blocks, avoidance, tension…
You might also find moments of ease, clarity, or alignment.
All of it matters. All of it informs.

This practice isn’t about doing more - it’s about tuning in.
And sometimes, awareness is the thing that softens old patterns.

Let your intention reveal what’s ready to be seen.
Let your awareness bring compassion, not pressure.
You get to choose how you move forward.

🌿 How to Begin:
Choose a gentle intention or theme for the month
Observe what arises in response - emotionally, physically, mentally
Write it down
Revisit your notes with curiosity
Let awareness guide your next steps

💬 Feel free to share your intention or keep it close to your heart.
This is your space to witness, reflect, and gently evolve.
🙏

There’s a quiet power that begins to rise when we stop living from the outside in.

When decisions are no longer shaped by pressure, fear, or past pain - but guided by presence, clarity, and trust in our own timing.

It’s here that the body stops rushing. The mind softens. And you begin to listen - not just to thoughts, but to your deeper knowing.

Instead of people-pleasing or second-guessing, you move from a place that feels like you. Pausing to respond, instead of reacting.

I created two limited-time offerings with this purpose at heart:

🌟Beneath the Intention
A 3-month journey with 3 illumination sessions and ongoing support to explore what truly sits beneath your intentions.
Together, we meet what’s holding you back, gently peel back the layers, and reconnect with what’s ready to come through.
Closes 28 February 2026

🌟Insights & Integration - Trusting Yourself
A remote group session for the independent soul who values space and self-inquiry.
You’ll be guided to explore questions with curiosity, listen to your body’s wisdom, and integrate what’s ready to shift.
This month’s intake closes Friday 30 January

Both are here to help you come home to your truth - beyond the noise, fear, and old stories.

This is where we meet the subconscious with curiosity.
Set clear intentions.
Ask the body what is standing in the way.
From this place, clarity begins to surface, emotions are processed, and trust slowly returns.

If one of these invitations speaks to you, I would love to hold space for you.

Insights & Integration is a gentle space to reflect, reconnect, and move through each month with more clarity and intention - supported remotely by a group session.

February’s theme: Trusting Yourself

Each month, Nicole will tune into the collective energy and facilitate a remote session to support reflection and a self-discovery journey.

How it works
🌱 Upon signing up, you will need to complete a short intake form - sharing where you are currently at, based on the theme of self-trust.
🌱 Your responses will help guide the direction of the group session, working with muscle feedback and a blend of Holistic Kinesiology, ThetaHealing®, somatic embodiment, and gentle integration practices.
🌱 You’ll receive a written session summary via email.
🌱 From there, take your time - reflect, connect with what resonates and allow the insights to unfold throughout the month.

Why Remote Group Sessions?
This is for those who value space - to process, explore and integrate in their own time. For those looking for both guidance and independence.
Each month provides a clear intention, based on the understanding that energy naturally flows towards what we choose to focus on. And the shared theme gently gathers similar energy, which allows the session to reflect the common threads, emotions and intentions of those who have joined.
The result is a written reflection that speaks both to the group and directly to each participant.

What you will receive:
🌿 A monthly theme
🌿 Reflective prompts + invitations for inspired action
🌿 A written session summary delivered to your inbox
🌿 A gentle monthly check-in from Nicole via email

Investment
AUD$44 for February - introductory price
($55 per session thereafter)
Session and results delivered via email on 1 February
Bookings close 30 January

If it speaks to something within you, Nicole would be honoured to welcome you into this space.

This is such a beautiful reminder about perspective. While it’s true that menopause can be a challenging time for so many women, it can also be deeply empowering. Honouring our journey, rather than resisting it, invites a new kind of freedom and possibility. 🩷

What if we shifted our perspective to see that each phase of life is simply another evolution…one that shapes who we become, bit by bit? Take , for instance. Instead of viewing it as a season to dread or one of decline, it can be embraced as an entry into a deeper, more natural purpose. The Japanese call reaching your true purpose “ikigai.”

As for menopause itself, it’s known in Japan as “kōnenki”, meaning “renewal years.” It’s understood as a time when women honor their strength, wisdom, and an expanded sense of self. And it’s a mindset worth adopting, one that frames menopause not as a loss, but as a meaningful, well-earned arrival.

This time of year often brings pressure to leap forward, set big goals or become a whole new version of yourself.

What if you chose differently. Moving slowly, gently and with curiosity. Allowing yourself to feel into your own rhythm - before rushing to meet the world’s pace.

I made a conscious decision to ease into this year - slowly, with intention. Not from avoidance, but from awareness.
Choosing consistency as my focus for the year. Consistency in how I show up for myself.

So gently reflect. Take what you need. Leave behind what isn’t yours to carry.
Then choose the lens you want to move through the world. One grounded in your truth, not fear.
A perspective aligned with where you're heading, not where you've been. One that feels true to you, rather than shaped by old programs or narratives.

You have got this!

Luminousness reopens next week - Monday 12 January.
If you’re feeling a bit stuck - emotionally, energetically or just off-track…
If there’s something you’ve been wanting to shift but can’t quite move…
If the holiday season stirred something in you that’s still lingering...
I’m here. Bookings are open via the link in my bio.

💫 I pulled a card for the Luminousness community as we begin this new cycle. I’ve shared it in the comments below.

Wishing you a gentle start to 2026,
Nicole x

I took this video on a recent bushwalk, and it was a gentle reminder to take time to reflect, while also noticing the beauty in the everyday.

To keep moving. Not getting stuck in reflection or the past, but letting it support us as we continue on our path. Allowing curiosity to lead the way.

Wishing you a gentle start to 2026

We spend so much time judging ourselves, living in the shoulds, and pushing forward…
We forget to pause and recognise the inner strength and resilience it took just to get through - the challenges, the pain and the difficult moments.

This is an invitation to slow down.
To gently observe the checklist - not as tasks to tick off, but as gentle reminders of what truly matters.

There are so many quiet wins that go unacknowledged because we’re too busy.
But there’s gold there - lessons, insights, awareness.
That wisdom becomes the foundation for whatever comes next.

Before setting new goals or wishing things were different…
Sprinkle in more self-kindness and compassion.
Create space to simply be.
Let that be your foundation as you prepare to step into a new year.
👣💛
