Show # 5️⃣2️⃣ 🤘

Tonight, Tonight!

Did I treat myself to front-row-center tickets with a private VIP pre-show acoustic performance? Of course I did!

I'm Nicki and I'm a therapist in the best city in the world—Toronto!

My women-only Parkdale home studio is body-positive and trans-friendly. Leave your insecurities at the door.

I donate $5 from every massage I give to local charities and I don't accept tips.

As a bonus, I play Otis Redding instead of spa music!

These are a few of my favourite things:

🎸 The Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters
🐱 My cat, Dave Grohl
🌎 Travelling to 50 countries by age 50
💵 Closing the gender pay gap
🏋️‍♀️ Lifting heavy things and putting them back down (repeat until jacked)
🥁 Puns!

Oh, and both giving and receiving massages, OBVIOUSLY.

Follow me here to see travel photos, video footage of me suffering at the gym, '90s rock memorabilia, and the occasional sales pitch. (Hey, a girl's gotta eat.)

Monday? Punday!

Welcome spooky season!

What's the deal with saunas and cold plunges?

Here's what's up.
