DR. NIKKI STARR NOCE

I’m a born and bred New Yorker, world traveler and Nature lover. I’m passionate about empowering people just like you to feel incredible and live a life you love!

Life is a grand adventure, especially when we live guided by our heart–I know this firsthand. The beautiful thing about life is that we can be ANYTHING we wish to be and create ANY life we desire. 

My journey in the healing arts began as a medical doctor. Degrees in Psychology, Nutrition, Chemistry and Medicine established my understanding of the human body and psyche, disease, health, life and death. 

By the time I was 25, I touched every continent except Antarctica. I worked with various healers, shamans and medicine people around the globe experiencing and learning about all kinds of healing modalities. Sometimes I found myself in pretty crazy situations, but the stories are well worth it! During this time my abilities as a natural born healer awakened. I discovered I trace back three generations to a lineage of healers from a native tribe in Colombia.

My time spent in foreign lands helped me understand that happiness means different things to different people. Ultimately it’s about discovering what happiness means to YOU and living authentically from this place. My work shows you how!

Based in Los Angeles I teach weekly classes and monthly workshops at Unplug Meditation in Santa Monica and at Ceremony Meditation in Venice. I also work one on one with people both in-person and online for coaching, mentoring and healing. My work is about healing AND optimizing the mind, body and spirit.

RICARDO BAPTISTA

Ricardo Baptista was born into a musical family and has spent his life carrying on the family tradition in recording studios and on stages around the world. Born in Brazil to David and Beatriz Baptista, the biggest Gospel/Rock artists in Brazil throughout the 1960s and early-1970s, Ricardo and his brothers and sisters joined the family act and performed all over the country. By the time the family left to go to America, their farewell party had to be held at a stadium to accommodate all the fans and well-wishers.

In the United States, the Baptista family performed in churches all around the country, slowly expanding out from the expatriate Brazilian community and capturing a multi-cultural fan base. As Ricardo grew into adulthood he began to pursue others styles of music outside the gospel genre, primarily Country music and traditional Brazilian Bossa-Nova.

A talented guitarist, bassist, vocalist and songwriter, Ricardo has written and recorded numerous songs in multiple genres. His first original solo project, “Transformou”, was released in 2008 and showed his penchant for Brazilian rhythms and melodies. In 2013 he released a self-titled EP of original Country songs.

As a musician, Ricardo has performed with artists as diverse as gospel/blues artist Darrell Mansfield, jazz musician Tony Guerrero, rock guitarist Mick Taras, drummers Tom Dante and Evan Stone and many others. As a songwriter, Ricardo scored a major release with his song, “Thank You For Your Love” when it was recorded by The Heritage Singers for their “Tribute To Brazil” CD. Ricardo is currently writing and in the middle of producing his next solo EP, to be released soon.
