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

Hi Nicholle, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
Choosing myself. For many years, I struggled with what I like to call “echoing.” I would scroll through social media and say things like “oh I can do that or oh that’s a great idea. I’ll focus on that!” It wasn’t until 2020 that I felt a sudden urge to delete my social media apps and go within to figure out what is it that I’m bringing to the world that can only come from me. Without all the distractions and temptation to go outside of myself for answers or guidance I was able to create my own product line. Something special that only could have come from me.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Healing Arts is something that took me a while to wrap my logical mind around. In my 20’s, I was very capitalistic & focused on producing/outcomes/profit/loss based on what I thought others wanted from me. When it comes to healing arts or any art, I believe it comes from deep within without caring about judgements or criticism & that’s what I was afraid of the most. I had to get over the fear of what others would think if I really did what was in my heart… what brought me joy. I suffered through so much mental and physical trauma in my life that I knew what I was meant to do. That is to pave the way for others to heal in blissful ways.

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.
In the morning, I would take them to Nimbus Coffee for magical coffee & treats. For the afternoon we would spend time at Terrenea Resort in Palos Verde and maybe even get spa treatments. And for the evening, I would take them to the observatory so they could see the fairy lights that illuminate the great Los Angeles.
