"Nicole creates an absolutely safe space to explore self-expression, embodied movement and a sense of playfulness..."

'When I started classes about a year ago, I hardly expected a once-a-week dance class to impact my personal growth as much as it has. Not only has this experience put me more in touch with my sensuality, it has left me feeling more whole, authentic and empowered than before. I feel more present in my body. I physically take up more space in my day-to-day life. I access parts of my personality that I had tucked away for some time. Nicole's dance expertise is apparent, but so is her ability to create the kind of freeing space that allows for transformation and true fun!"

"Burlesque has become my self care routine..."

"Nicole is able to communicate the foundations of burlesque so they are accessible to anyone - no matter their dance background. In every class, you walk away with new moves and learnings for how to live and love more deeply."

-McKenzie

"Dance class doesn't even begin to qualify the experience of working with Nickie. I'm a trained actor and dancer but receiving instruction from her was a game changer for my confidence. Burlesque class became my self-care routine. If you've ever craved an environment of body-positivity, you need to try out these classes."

-David

" I have to remind myself I will be 40 this week and am taking burlesque! Get it while the gettin' is good. It feels so good to grow and get out of my comfort zone. Thank you for offering your amazing talent and guidance Nicole!"

-Emily

"I forced myself to shed some toxicity and attend my first burlesque class! It was fun and holy crap, what a great workout. If you need some healing, I encourage you to get out an dance."

"the whole core of my being began demanding a new way of relating to myself..."

"Through your classes, I began to move, then I began to learn how to move more freely, and then I thought about smiling at the person in the mirror, then I began making friends, and then I began feeling a freedom in my soul that was very very ancient and new at the same time. Serpentine Gateway was another huge step in that process, and our mother work gave me an entirely new perspective (again on an issue I thought I had healed). Against my will, the whole core of my being began demanding a new way of relating to myself, the people around me, and even my career--my mission in life. I am less bound by convention and logic and systems and more tied to the inner voice."

-Amy

"I have taken multiple bellydance classes from Nicole over the years. She is and awesome dance teacher and creates meaningful choreography for any level of dance ability."

-Yvonne

"I took tribal fusion belly dance class from Nicole at two different studios over the past four years. I was in several pieces choreographed by Nicole in several different stage performances. Nicole is a wonderful teacher. She's very creative and instructive and makes her students feel welcome and appreciated. Nicole has always been very professional in her manner and in dealing with dancers in class or in performance pieces."

-Kate

"Burlesque is such a fun class...!"

"...Who knew shimmying could be so exhausting! Haha. I love that Nicole offers such a safe and inviting space. Dancing and performing in general is something that’s still daunting for me, so it’s great to be able to come to class and just have fun while learning technique and choreo. I feel like knowing what to do, knowing what options I’d have if I ever were to get on stage, is helping my confidence in that area. I’ve also been enjoying Burlesque because it’s very sexy and sensual without being vulgar. I model for art nude and sensual/semi-erotic photography, and a big component of my personal style is to be sexy and sensual without being too explicit. The attitude behind Burlesque really helps with this! I’ve been able to take a lot of poses she's taught us, as well as elements like teasing and stripping, and work those into my photos."

READINGS, ENERGY WORK & SOUL COACHING

"Some of her insights about me were so hidden..."

“Being an energy reader and healer myself for the past 20 years, I'm very picky who I get readings from. But I am always blown away with Nicole's readings and the talent she has for this. Nicole has this unique gift of tuning into someone and getting a story of what's going on. Her explanations are always deep and thorough. She is 100% authentic, the REAL deal. Some of her insights about me were so hidden, I really had to look inside myself and at my behavior and realize, damn she’s right. She’s THAT good. Her readings have helped me understand myself more than I can say. I’ve gained more clarity and understanding of who I am in this larger view of my life with her readings.”

-- Gloria

"You managed to facilitate healing in me that I desperately needed and wasn’t able to find anywhere else..."

"I cannot tell you how how incredible and awesome our session was. It enabled me to forgive my ex husband and move forward with loving him again. I'm in such a good place now and it wouldn't be without you! Thank you for bringing my angels to me."

-Vicky

"Nicole's reading was totally spot on and reflected what I've been working on in counseling the past year. "

-Erica

"You managed to facilitate healing in me that I desperately needed and wasn’t able to find anywhere else with other modalities (coaching, therapy, etc.)"

-Group Coaching Participant

"YES 10000% yes. I would absolutely recommend Serpentine Gateway. I wish there were more Nicole Briannas! "

"What impressed me the most is how thorough she was! All I expected was a tarot reading, but Nicole went well beyond! Because I was able to give her specific information about the time of my birth, she also read my star chart and gave me a numerology reading as well. Not only were the three readings remarkably consistent, but they also gave me some helpful insight into my own role in situations that previously seemed to be outside of my control. Months later, I’m still thinking about her comments. I really appreciate the time and care she put into my reading. "

FLEXIBILITY

"It's a game changer!"

"My chiropractor said you did a great job stretching me and now I get to go down to one day a week. Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!"

-Brittany

"Nicole has been a delight to have work on my back and injured leg. Her body work is effective and I can't recommend her enough."

-Brian

""A couple years ago, my knee began to bother me. It got so bad I couldn’t bend it more than 90-degrees. After two months of weekly chiropractor visits with no improvement, it was time for a different approach. I went to Nicole for a single session of deep-tissue bodywork, thinking I would still need physical therapy afterwards. But within two weeks of a single bodywork session, my knee was back to full functionality with no more pain. I’ve returned to Nicole since for other “sticky” problems and have had similarly successful results. Nicole’s deep-tissue bodywork really works! It’s a game changer!" "

-Melissa

"I started taking Flexibility as a supplement to my aerial training and I definitely think it has helped me get deeper into various poses. There’s a strengthening component to Flexibility as well that has also been beneficial for me in the air. In general, I’ve seen a lot of improvement! I’m glad that Nicole teaches us progressions and different techniques to keep moving forward because that gives me stuff to work on outside of class. "
