With 14 years of experience as a traditional birth keeper, Nickita has been recognized by esteemed bodies like the World Council For Health and The People's Health Alliance for her outstanding contributions.

She is pursuing a PhD in Lifestyle Medicine and is known for her impactful talks that aim to heal trauma and empower women. Her teachings on physiological childbirth are highly sought after by midwives, doctors, expectant mothers, and birth enthusiasts. Nickita's approach emphasizes that true transformation in childbirth and women's lives comes from self-development and healing core wounds.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
