ABOUT KULANDIRA
Kulandira is a word derived from the Chichewa language, which is spoken in Malawi, a country located in southeastern Africa (where Nicolette was born). In Chichewa, "kulandira" means "to receive" or "to accept." It can also refer to "receiving" something from someone, such as receiving a gift, favor, or assistance. The Chichewa language is an important part of the cultural and linguistic landscape of Malawi and neighbouring regions.

“Amazing teacher and leader. Nicolette is infectious, and I'm blessed to have met her.”
"Nicolette has a warm confidence and inviting presence. In my session, I felt her support, compassion, and attentiveness. I appreciated the thoughtful and comfortable setting that was put together for this amazing experience.”
“The entire experience was curated with such care and compassion that there was space for us to do the work. Nicolette’s attention to detail created the space for a transformative experience. Thank you. The magic is in how they set the stage and how the integration therapy anchored the experience in real life. Nicolette and Pierre skillfully supported us together as a couple, but also individually on the journey we each needed in order to uncover the stuff that was standing in our way. Their ability to create a space for us to be vulnerable was essential for the growth to occur. Nicolette draws on skills from various facets of her life to bring the essence of integration therapy to light.
Thank you for curating the therapy we needed to bridge the space between us. It is the most cherished gift. The food was magic. To participate in a therapeutic experience without the nourishing food Nicolette and Pierre provided would leave a large gap in the healing process. Their practice is truly holistic.
