Wandering Bear Wellness

I have had the pleasure of working with Nicholas both as a Rolfer and as a Sound Healer, and I cannot recommend his work highly enough. Through Rolfing, Nicholas helped bring my hips back into balance when they were out of alignment and causing persistent pain in my left hip. His work was precise, skillful, and deeply attuned to my body. The relief and alignment I experienced felt both immediate and lasting. More recently, I received a sound healing session with Nicholas that was equally powerful. He supported me in grounding more deeply, clearing stored anger and resentment, and consciously updating old contracts and agreements—creating space to call in new, supportive relationships. His presence throughout the session was steady, caring, and deeply grounded, which allowed me to feel sa

After feeling so much release, pain relief, balance and regaining my proprioception as result of the first 10 Rolf series with Nicholas, I thankfully signed up for another 3 sessions for deeper focused work.  I initially thought it was an impulse to sign up for something I’ve never done but after completing his transformative sessions, I came to the realization it was my intuition that connected me to the healing space of Wandering Bear Wellness.  My body knew and I just needed to listen. For this work, Nicholas creates a safe, comforting, relaxing environment that is a space to heal your body and beyond if you so choose.   Nicholas is always professional and integrated personalization for my specific therapy needs. I felt taken care of and supported in my healing within this space.  I wa

I recently attended a two day mandala painting workshop that Nicholas created and led. His energy was collaborative, open and soothing. The emailed questions prior to the workshop were well crafted and helped me elicit the images I wanted to incorporate in my mandala. The process was really fun and, not being an artist, was encouraging and non-judgmental. I left with a meaningful symbol for the year that I have been using in my daily meditation. Thanks Nicholas and your little dog too!

Nicholas is a kind and compassionate person with a deep dedication to his profession. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional and ethical. Completing a 10 session series, he was able to disrupt a pain restrictive sequence. Less pain, improved posture and body awareness has allowed more advanced strengthening, stretching/yoga cardio and functional mobility. I highly recommend Nicholas.

I came in with knee and a lot of lower leg pain with limited extension of right leg. I tossed and turned all night getting only a couple hours of sleep. After one session I felt relaxed, less pain, and slept all night. Two more sessions, same result and could walk better. I was able to begin to do PT recommended exercises and have hope for more days of less or no pain and better mobility while I await knee replacement surgery. I was amazed how strong Nicholas's hands were and knowledge of what to do to help me. I feel fortunate to have Nicholas work on me and if I lived in WA I'd go through his 10 sessions.
