Before becoming a professional astrologer, Nikki practiced law for twenty-five years. First as a securities litigator and then as General Counsel of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball franchise. While professionally stimulating, her life was psychologically and spiritually wanting of broader awareness and deeper meaning.

In 2004 she began her study of spiritual consciousness, immersing herself in the writings of Sri Aurobindo, the history of alchemy, and the work of astrologer Dane Rudhyar. Still practicing law, in 2013 she commenced training in astronomy and shamanic astrology under the instruction of astrologer Daniel Giamario. Using her own life experiences as the testing ground— and recording the results—Nikki gradually came to identify the teachings that were the most transformative. She committed herself to synthesizing multiple complex disciplines into clear and practical guidance to help clients broaden their own awareness. 

Born in Los Angeles, Nikki had the privilege of living in many beautiful countries including Norway, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and France before settling in Berkeley, California.
