We had the good fortune of connecting with Nikki Nickerson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Nikki, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
The idea for my business really was born of wanting to be able to share something I found so personally helpful and informative with others. The first time I had my aura photographed, the way I thought about myself and my energy changed. I found myself thinking and talking about the experience often.
That one little visit changed everything and set me on a metaphysical journey to discover myself. Many years later, I had a live energy reading done where I could see my chakras and energy in real-time. I loved seeing my energy reacting to my thoughts and to the things and people around me and I knew this was an experience that I wanted to be able to provide for others. At that moment, the idea for BeYOUtiful Soul Aura Photography was born.
I thought about it for 6 YEARS! I thought on it and thought on it and then I followed the advice I had given so many others, I took the step of WRITING IT DOWN WITH A DATE in my manifestation journal. When I tell you the power of the written word! I had what I needed by the date that I wrote down and BeYOUtiful Soul was born.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets my business apart from others like it, is ME. I bring to the experience an intention to create a safe and peaceful environment for people to experience seeing their aura and energy in real-time. Aura photos capture a person”s energy in that instance. It is truly a snapshot in time. However, our energy is constantly changing. So in the live energy reading, my clients and I have wide-ranging conversations, We may meditate, or listen to music. They may choose to bring in a personal object and see what their energy looks like when they hold the object. These sessions are screen recorded for the client to review at their leisure and a comprehensive energy report is provided in addition to the aura photo. All of this occurs in a safe space that contains various crystals and other energy cleansing tools. It is a very special experience.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would spend a lot of time enjoying some of the great natural attractions in the area: Morgan Falls Overlook Park, The Atlanta Botanical Gardens, The Farmers Market at Piedmont Park, and many other hidden gems.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Althea Lawton-Thompson has been an invaluable friend and mentor. Sometimes you meet people and you recognize yourself in them. Althea is my sister friend and go-to guru on all things metaphysical.
