About me

Nicole Roukens

I’m Nicole, and my work has evolved from a love of yoga into a broader interest in how we support ourselves through the different stages, demands and transitions of life.

Yoga became particularly important to me during the early years of motherhood. It gave me a way to slow down, reconnect with myself and find more calm amongst the everyday. This experience sparked an ongoing interest in matrescence and a deep passion for supporting women through the busy years of motherhood — navigating work, parenting, relationships and the often constant juggle of caring for others while trying to find space for themselves.

Over time, my practice and teaching have evolved to incorporate mindfulness, meditation, sound and somatic practices. I’m particularly interested in the connection between our body, mind and everyday experiences, and in making wellbeing feel practical and accessible rather than another thing we need to get right.

Alongside this work, I bring many years of experience in leadership, management and executive roles. Having worked within busy organisations and led people and teams, I understand workplace pressures, competing priorities and the challenge of looking after ourselves while meeting the needs of others.

My curiosity about people and what shapes our experiences has also led me to further study in counselling. This is deepening my understanding of people, relationships and self-awareness, and continues to inform the way I approach my work.

Today, I continue to love teaching yoga — whether that’s a fun, flowing practice or a deeply restful class designed to help calm the nervous system. I also love bringing people together through workshops, events and retreats, creating experiences that offer space to connect, learn, slow down and reset.

My work now extends across women and mothers, individuals, workplaces and teams, but the intention remains much the same: creating opportunities for people to reconnect with themselves and support their wellbeing in ways that translate into everyday life.

They are often the most important.”
