Hello Beautiful Womxn,

I hope that you are doing, being well. Thank you to all of you who shared your presence during our first virtual womxn´s circle. It was amazing to be a part of. A humble thank You!!

Our next circle will be 5/22, 6pm! Please register in advance here: https://nyu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAld-iqrz8sH9VGMfZuyv2eeLgNYNAEPC5N.

In a world where it doesn't always feel safe or honorable to be Womxn (all people who identify as being female, girl, femme, queen, lady and all expressions of the feminine, regardless of the s*x assigned to you at birth. Regardless of your Age)... Where our bodies, minds and spirits aren't wholly r...

It has been a year since Breastfeeding in public was made legal in the US! This was a hallmark advancement in women's/children's rights and also for our society. Breastfeeding has incredible benefits for our children, therefore our country, world. More deeply, I believe we are seeing women as the life-giving and sustaining beings they are, and there's nothing 'indecent' or 'improper' about that.

Cheers, babies.

Hello beautiful, inspiring Souls! It is with so much joy & happiness that I am sharing with you what feeds & nourishes me. Inspired. Writing. ...I will be sharing a piece of mine at least weekly.

Something that I have been experiencing is getting to know myself better. More specifically, loving myself- for myself, by myself. I intentionally started this journey in May of this year because I was searching for love and wholeness outside myself.
🌿
I was in need of healing mySelf. I took on the challenge (caring more deeply for others than myself has been a theme for me), and was recommended to read Louise Haye‘s Mirror Work. Let’s just say I now can delve into myself and can tell you without hesitation what I deserve. What I cherish and love about myself. About You. About Humanity. I’m more at home within myself. Criticising myself/others less, enjoying giving (& asking/receiving healing), and being my authentic, evolving self.
🌿
And it feels good. Better. True. I invite you to look at yourself in the eyes in a mirror. And if that’s too hard, your nose, cheeks, hair and tell yourself that you love yourself unconditionally.

Here‘s to you, brilliant one. Be well and Happy Wednesday ☺️💜✨

Jump into your life, all aspects of it. All the happy, easy, raw, rough, nitty gritty parts. You can handle it. Better yet, you can transmute it and be transformed by it. Happy Wednesday, Everyone 😘🌺🌿

“No problem is bigger than my purpose.” When I saw this on the Eternal Sunshine app (and no I don’t have a sponsoring deal with them or anything, just love the app!), I felt something rock and settle in my core.
🌿
I believe that we’re each here for a unique reason, and have stuff to do/learn/resolve/express/refine etc on a personal and collective level. If we are here purposefully, then I believe that we inherently have access to all the support we need to express that purpose. We can make it through each challenge, turn it into a gem. How attuned we are to this support, and when/how we decide to become to more easily breathe in, exude and share it is up to us.

Happy Wednesday and persevering 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Gaia’s Return: Helping you Claim Your Power Through Healing

Welcome to Gaia's Return! Hi, my name is Naika and I am a Matrona trained, Holistic Doula. I am also a Massage Therapist, Energy Healer and Registered Nurse. I have a passion for facilitating healing so that clients may thrive and I enjoy integrating my clinical knowledge with holistic and alternative healing modalities.

I understand and appreciate the uniqueness in which healing takes place and expresses itself. My life journey has been speckled with intense physical illness and breakthroughs. These experiences have contributed to my love for and devotion to understanding well being and dis-ease, what contributes to both, and how to help my clients obtain well being- whatever that may look like for them.

As a Holistic Doula, I am dedicated to honoring and upholding the gift and power of Birth and Birthing persons. This is my vocation. I believe that birth often unfolds smoothly and safely on it’s own, and I also know that sometimes intervention is necessary and desired. My goal is to provide a loving, respectful presence, support, tools and information to allow for a confident and joyful Birthing experience, however your Birth unfolds. "Gaia's Return" is my personal pledge to facilitate deeper awareness and authentic relationship within my clients and their healing journey. I believe in reflecting each client's power and ability to heal themselves. I have a passion for meeting client's where they are, without judgement, so that together we can combine our knowledge and work to align, connect with, and express a different, more healed story. One step at a time. I do this work with honesty, deep compassion and joy. I have over 7 years of facilitating healing experiences. In 2013, I earned a nursing degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. In 2015, I became a certified Evolutionary Astrologer. In 2016, I became a level 2 Reiki practitioner and I earned a Masters in Public Health from the George Washington University. In 2018, I left my job as a research consultant to attend the National Holistic Institute in California. There, I became a certified Massage Therapist and Pranic Healer. February 2019, I became a Matrona trained certified Holistic Doula.

I welcome you to visit my website: gaiasreturn.com. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about my services. I look forward to sharing my offerings with you. In the meantime, I honor You and Your journey.
