Nikki's work in trauma-informed yoga is highlighted as a unique and effective approach to healing, not only for survivors of sexual abuse but also for those suffering from PTSD and other trauma-related conditions.
Nikki invites listeners to connect with her through her yoga program, aimed at releasing shame and guilt, and fostering a supportive community for survivors. The episode concludes with a powerful message from Nikki: healing is possible, and sharing one's story is vital. By telling her story, Nikki hopes to inspire other survivors to come forward, heal, and help others in their journey. NASCA's volunteers and supporters are encouraged to continue their efforts in promoting recovery and supporting survivors.
This episode serves as a testament to the strength and resilience of survivors, highlighting the importance of education, advocacy, and healing in the fight against child abuse.
