Meet Your Practitioner
I’m Nicole Rider, a NAMA-certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and graduate in Ayurveda Wellness. My journey with Ayurveda began through my own search for healing after years of feeling disconnected physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
The timeless principles of Ayurveda and Vedic wisdom helped me realign with my authentic self, rediscover balance, and cultivate self-love. Today, I feel honored to share this sacred knowledge, guiding others to embrace alignment, vitality, and harmony in their daily lives.
Through Emerald Ayurveda, I support individuals through personalized care, seasonal rhythms, and embodied practices — meeting you where you are and supporting you in thriving as your most authentic self.
