Welcome to The Garden Gate
I'm so happy you've found your way here.
This is where your journey into The Dreamer's Garden begins.
Think of this as a quiet prelude —a place to pause before stepping into a different way of living. A place where rest is no longer something you earn at the end of exhaustion, but a practice you return to as a foundation to a more fulfilling life.
Beyond this gate is your very first complimentary Sleep Spell.
The Prelude Spell is a foreshadow into the 8 week immersion that will radically shift your relationship with rest.
Simply click the button at the bottom of the page and you’re on your way.
Before you press play, gather whatever helps your body feel deeply supported. Dim the lights, wrap yourself in a blanket, perhaps diffuse an essential oil, and allow the simple act of preparing your space to become the first ritual of your rest.
There is nothing to achieve here. Nothing to get right. Simply allow yourself to receive.
The garden has been waiting for you.
We begin September 30th.
Welcome to
the Garden Gate…
Things you might be wondering…
-
A Sleep Spell is a guided Yoga Nidra meditation designed to gently guide your body into deep rest. Think of it as a ritual for your nervous system—a space where you can soften, restore, and reconnect with yourself. While many people drift into sleep, you don't have to. Whether you remain awake or fall asleep, your body receives exactly what it needs.
-
Absolutely.
You don't need any experience with meditation or yoga. Simply make yourself comfortable, press play, and allow yourself to be guided. There is nothing to perform or perfect.
-
Many Dreamers enjoy listening before bed, while others return to their Sleep Spell during the afternoon when they need to reset. There is no perfect time—only the time that supports you.
-
Perfect.
In fact, you don't need to. Yoga Nidra isn't about stopping your thoughts—it's about changing your relationship to them. Whether your mind feels busy or calm, the practice is still working.
-
If this spell resonates with you in any way, come and continue your journey inside The Dreamer's Garden. There's never any pressure—only an open gate if you're ready to receive the gift of rest and change the foundation of your life.

The Dreamer's Garden is my signature 8 week online immersive journey into sacred rest. Through beautifully crafted Sleep Spells, rituals, held community and Yoga Nidra, we learn that rest is the fertile ground from which a meaningful life grows.
I'd be honoured to welcome you deeper into the garden.

Hi, i’m Nicole.
I'm so happy you've found your way to the garden. I would love to share some insight of why this garden exists today… long before I ever became a Yoga Teacher or discovered Yoga Nidra, I think this work was quietly finding me…
My mum has been a nurse for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I watched her spend her life caring for everyone else, working long shifts, giving so much of herself, and coming home completely exhausted. Rest always came last.
My sister's story has been different. For years, she's struggled with insomnia, longing for the kind of sleep that so many people take for granted. Watching someone you love desperately want rest—but be unable to find it—changes the way you understand sleep. It becomes so much more than simply closing your eyes. It becomes healing. It becomes hope.
Then there was my own story.
Like so many people, I believed my worth was measured by how much I could accomplish. I filled every empty space, wore busyness like a badge of honour, and thought rest was something I had to earn.
Until I found Yoga Nidra.
For the first time, I experienced a kind of rest that reached beyond sleep. It softened my nervous system and quieted the constant need to strive.
That experience quietly changed the course of my life.
Today, I weave together the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra with storytelling, ritual, sound, and a deep love for creating spaces where people feel safe enough to truly let go.
The Dreamer's Garden was born from all of those stories.
From watching caregivers who never stopped giving. From loving someone who longed for sleep. From learning, in my own body, that rest is a reward.
I hope this first complimentary Sleep Spell feels like a gentle exhale... and perhaps the beginning of a new way of life.
With love,
Nicole ✨
What People Are Saying Inside the Garden…
Before this immersion, I would take forever to fall asleep. Then I would often wake up at 2 a.m. and toss and turn. After four weeks, I feel more well rested and grounded. By the third Sleep Spell, I really started to connect with the rhythm of the practice, and now I always look forward to the next one by Sunday night. I haven't missed a single night's Sleep Spell, which is something I can't say for any other habit I've tried to build. I also love how portable it is when travelling. This gift of rest to yourself is priceless. Nicole's considered delivery, pace, and cadence are beautiful.

Before entering The Dreamer's Garden, I was desperate for a good night's rest. I was beginning to feel resentment towards my son and my pregnancy for making my sleep harder and more broken. Now, even though I am still being woken up the same number of times, I am getting back to sleep quicker and sleeping more deeply. Those bad feelings have really melted, and I feel so much calmer and less stressed around sleep and rest. If you are on the fence about joining The Dreamer's Garden, DO IT!!! This immersion is unlike any other online meditation or Yoga Nidra I have ever tried. Even though it is for a group, it feels deeply personal and has been incredibly beneficial for me. I am successfully relearning how to rest, and I absolutely recommend The Dreamer's Garden to anyone. at my own pace, revisit lessons, and keep learning whenever it works for me."

Things have softened. I now have a tool I can use when I wake up at 3 a.m., when I feel tired during the day, or whenever I want to nurture myself, I can tune into my Yoga Nidra practice. I feel held and supported by Nicole. My inner critic, which was so judgmental about my sleep struggles, has softened, and my relationship with rest has completely changed. I now allow myself the time to nurture myself with an afternoon Yoga Nidra or an early bedtime. After just four weeks, I feel lighter, calmer, and more able to let go. This experience has transformed my relationship with sleep and rest, and that has had a profound impact on how I show up in my daily life.
