About Nicky
Nicky Bienstock is here to help heal and empower. Growing up with chronic pain and illness, they struggled tremendously with their own health and wellness. When they found yoga, a new era of their life began. They found themselves especially impacted by the breath and meditation-based aspects of yoga, developing a breath practice to cope with their daily pain and other symptoms. They realized over the course of this journey that they were meant to pass on these tools to others, to aid in their healing journeys. They became a yoga teacher at the ripe young age of 18, stepping into the role of healer while hardly burgeoning on adulthood. They earned a degree from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study of NYU, creating their own degree entitled Mindful Medicine: Science, Culture & Practice with a minor in Child & Adolescent Mental Health Studies. This was an integrative neuroscience degree examining the neuroscience and neurophysiology of yoga, meditation, and breathing. They then became a Reiki Master, and later a Massage Therapist. Through their diverse educational and professional background, combined with their personal experiences and intuition, they created Homeostatic Restoration Therapy™, their method for healing through self-regulation. They have worked with people across the spectrum of age, illness, and need around the US and the globe. Their work can and has existed in many contexts; ranging from public classes and workshops to private healing sessions, even to institutional programs. They are interested in creating moments of pause and peace in all settings, for all people.
