Meet Our Founder

Nicole Timmerman
Inspiring Well-being, One Breath, One Adventure at a Time

Since 1997, Nicole has worn many hats, all with the same dedication – guiding people towards radiant well-being. As a seasoned massage therapist, she kneads away tension, not just from muscles, but from minds and souls. In 2022, her passion blossomed into a thriving wellness business, a haven for those seeking harmony within.

  • “Nicole expertly guided us through daily meditations, yoga slow flows, and Qigong energy & breath work. I really enjoyed the outdoor nature hikes where she talks Buddhist philosophy, and reconnects us with our five senses. Personal touches like notebooks for journaling, personalized essential oil misters, aromatherapy candles, and calming 'tribalesque' music rounded out this great experience. I feel centered, confident and secure in the tools acquired over this weekend to be able to apply them to all aspects of my busy, over scheduled, hectic life.”

    Janine M Bartok, Owner, Custom Interior Design & Production Studio

  • “I didn’t know how valuable the weekend would be to me until I did it. Nicole has an incredible way of facilitating, teaching and giving us tools that would be life changing. The hospitality, accommodations and meals were top notch. I had never tried QiGong and hadn’t spent much time doing meditation or guided breathing and they were such welcome additions to the weekend along with guided hikes and thoughtful dialogue. I left feeling a sense of calm and energy along with tools for the future. I can’t recommend this experience enough!”

    Jill Anderson, Director Business Development

  • “The Fountain of Qi Wellness Retreat was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it! I left feeling rested, rejuvenated, connected, nourished and ignited! Nicole is truly gifted at guiding others with compassion, drawing from her own experience and journey. She does so with humility, kindness and a healthy dose of humor! I walked away with renewed hope and appreciation for my potential, armed with many tools for addressing life’s challenges when they arise”
