Hi, I’m Nicole Lana, your alchemist of shadows. I was the “golden child”—top finance grad, chasing accolades to prove my worth. But beneath the shine, I was fading: numbing rage with food, fleeing soul-draining jobs, and loving those who dimmed my light.
Raised in an Asian household, I learned to silence my spark for others’ pride. Bullying taught me to please, but I lost myself.
My drive for external wins fueled anxiety, masking:
– Deep shame beneath my smile.
– Weak boundaries that drained me.
– A body heavy with unspoken pain.
I was repressing my emotions. Even though I was exercising regularly and eating relatively healthy, I was not well. And, I didn’t even realize that my limiting beliefs were present, and that they were keeping me away from my authentic desires.
I tried almost everything in the new age world – from positive affirmations to self development forums to workshops to past life healing to meditations to sound healing to yoga, etc.
All the above were useful to an extent, but I still needed a lot of help with setting my boundaries, recognising and communicating my worth.
Then, a near-fatal car accident forced me to confront the truth: My trauma wasn’t just mine—it was ancestral.
The car accident prompted me to evaluate my past and conditioned thoughts passed down from society and family. I realised that suppressing my negative emotions was affecting everything, from my physical health to emotional health to relationships to work. So, I committed myself to healing.
Coincidentally, while I was trying to heal from my physical injuries and ease my anxiety, I was led to master healers who worked with me for years to transform my own subconscious beliefs.
I was then led to the exploration of my subconscious mind through numerous powerful modalities.
For over a decade, I traveled, kitesurfed, and dove into:
– Shadow work (to heal the rage I’d buried)
– Somatic therapy (to release trauma stored in my body)
– Psychedelics & dance (to reconnect with joy & dive deeper into my conditioning and free my grief)
– Food as medicine (losing 20lbs naturally wasn’t about willpower—it was self-love)
Through my years of uncovering the subconscious mind, I became healthier and my anxiety eased. At first, the changes were subtle, and then they became very apparent with my world shifting:
– I became deeply fascinated with the subconscious mind, somatic therapy, dance therapy, movement, and the correlations of illness/health with trauma
– I’ve found that our health, level of wellbeing and quality of life is directly related to the level of self-love we have towards ourselves.
– While having a good diet and workout routine can support our health, our self worth is key.

I built this site to share my journey with you. My goal is facilitate you in realising your inherently worthiness and achieve your goals. When I’m not researching or trying out the latest wellness trend, you can often find me working out, practicing hot 26, surfing, and kiteboarding. I am very passionate about exploring diverse healing modalities, skincare, spirituality, and beauty, and spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen or shopping at grocery stores.
I graduated from Georgetown University, and have also obtained my Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition at T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and eCornell. I’ve also studied under raw food chefs Mimi Kirk and Executive Chef Made Tantra from Fivelements Bali.
I’m also seasoned yoga practitioner with over 10 years of hands-on yoga experience, and am a Certified Completion Process Practitioner by Teal Swan.
