Meet Nicole Ferguson | Reiki Master & Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Practitioner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Ferguson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I have been a school psychologist for 14 years and over a year ago experienced an awakening that changed the trajectory of my whole world. While I had been of service professionally to the public’s youth, as a result of my awakening, I wanted to have a more profound impact on facilitating change in people’s lives. On a scale that was devoid of certain limitations that I had working in an educational institution. I wanted to provide a service(s) where people’s imbalances would be addressed on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. I was guided to several healing modalities, such as Reiki and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, that can assist in providing significant healing on those levels. Once I learned the healing modalities, I knew I needed to start my own business, whether it be big or small, to bring my own authenticity to the services provided rather than working for someone else. No one can replicate your intentions, motivations, and the joy you receive from assisting others, which meant creating something of my own. Although, through this process, I have collaborated, been mentored/supported and co-created with some of the most incredible humans, which is a byproduct of working in this field. Through the awakening process, you begin to journey down a path of self-healing, which aims to remove yourself from the ego and fears to a state of flow, trust and surrendering to the universe. The Law of Attraction states that when you truly want something and go after it without limiting yourself with disbelief, the Universe will make it happen. I learned (and am still learning) to put trust in my abilities, coupled with my raw passion and joy, and Modern Holistic was born. My goal is to continue to learn more healing modalities that I can share with so many deserving people in the world.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business, as it is now, provides healing modalities. I do Reiki, which is using universal energy to heal energetic imbalances in the body. Reiki treats the whole person including the physical body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. There are a plethora of benefits to Reiki. I also am a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique practitioner, which is a method created by the late Dolores Cannon. This modality brings individuals to a deep state of hypnosis where the individual experiences a life regression, whether that be a past life, current, future or extra-dimensional. The idea is that whatever you may have experienced at that time can affect you in your current life. The idea is to bring that to the surface and heal from it. Then the client has a conversation with their Subconscious or Higher Self, which has access to universal information. The client is able to ask any questions they desire and the Subconscious will provide that information if appropriate. Both are profoundly healing in their unique ways.

I’m proud of how far I’ve come in such a short time and I’m excited for the future, whatever it looks like. I’m excited to expand my Reiki clients to expecting mothers, newborns/infants, children, those with disabilities, those recovering from injuries/surgeries, the elderly, palliative and hospice care, I feel drawn right now to widen my client base and that excites me.

I wouldn’t say it was hard to get to where I am today, but it takes work, motivation and passion. I feel strongly about the work I do so those were not issues per se. Anyone can follow what their guided to with their passion for it. My biggest challenge is balancing all the things I do. I’m a mother, wife, employee, and new business owner. I’m not willing to give any of those up in this moment, so I choose to focus attention to all those areas. I believe I have enough time and therefore I create it. I think my biggest lesson has been that in order to facilitate healing for others, I had to begin the journey of self-healing. That was uncomfortable for me. I believed that my purpose was to support others’ healing and that I was “ok.” We’re all ok, but we’re all wounded in some way, which is what it means to be human. I needed to do for myself what I was expecting others to do for themselves, which was to love myself and make my self-care a priority. I am a work in progress and am beginning to see how past trauma has altered who I am today and how to heal from that.

The only thing I want people to know about my business is that I offer a safe place to land. A place that is free of judgment, is trusting, and a place where I genuinely derive joy in connecting with others. There are so many healing modalities and practitioners out there for people to explore. My wish is that people begin to explore a journey of self-care and healing and that they find someone they feel deeply connected to, wherever that may be.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Arizona, has a A LOT to offer. If I had a week with a friend I would probably get out into nature and walk. There are so many beautiful hiking trails in Arizona to explore. People, including myself, should really get out there and ground themselves to the earth. Many people love Camelback Mountain, it’s challenging. Phoenix has been gifted with restaurants. It’s actually feels impossible to choose and it’s hard to go wrong. There are an abundance of amazing restaurants, hot spots, drinking, shopping, and people watching in Old Town Scottsdale. There’s something for everyone. I’m a big fan of Flagstaff. You can hike, ski, walk, eat, shop, and experience seasons in the pines. I love to exercise and yoga is a good group activity to share with a friend. There’s also yoga studios everywhere. Spring training and golf are big Arizona to-dos. The whole Talking Stick area is cram full of fun adventures from the aquarium, Top Golf, the casino, spring training, events, and indoor skydiving. We do actually have a few lakes in Arizona and boating is an option. In our family we like to go four-wheeling and rock hounding. There are lots of beautiful stones/crystals here. I think I need to get out more and experience more of what Arizona has to offer!!

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?
I start with my partner and husband, Nic, because when you go through such a transformative change into one of spirituality, it can change the dynamic of your relationships. Whereas some experience divorce, I received the support of the number one person I needed it from and in turn discovered that he shared the same beliefs. I have put myself out there to a lot of new people who have a host of challenges, which can at times, put me in vulnerable places. With his needed support, I was able to persist and move forward. He is my rock, my warrior, and my soulmate. Interestingly enough, since my awakening, I seemed to begin to attract a lot of likeminded individuals in the process. My dearest friend, Kristina, helped me through my awakening and opened up my eyes to the universe. She is a safe place for me. We have collaborated, healed, and explored the universe together through hypnosis. I will always be in gratitude to her and know that our souls are connected. We have just begun our journey together. When I needed a physical location to land in, I met Sabrina. She opened up her space, her heart and put her faith in me. She sees the world from a state of abundance and that space allows for her to want to support others to reach their highest potential. Sabrina has mentored me more than she may realize. She helped me to own my gifts. She has gifts of her own and provides beautiful acts of service daily to others through massage and energy work. I also appreciate and send shoutouts to all those who have allowed to me use their bodies to learn with, those who has listened to my excitement, and have not journey the journey I am on. There are so many people in my life that I appreciate and love, I hope they who they are…Lastly, I find a lot of knowledge and inspiration in all the books and trainings I have had. I am currently reading The Power of Now, The Greatest Secret, and How to Read the Akashic Records. Reading has now become apart of my spiritual practice.
