I've done several sessions with Nikki to address a couple of problems... lingering congestion in my middle sinuses from Covid that my doctor said could last for a month or more and ringing in my ears. Nikki was able to resolve that for me. I honestly didn't think an energy healing would work. Totally skeptical, but it really did work. The meditation piece on my end felt during the healing practice felt really good. Nikki was attentive and focused. She really nurtured and cared throughout the session, listening to concerns and feelings that came up. read more

I really enjoyed my sessions with Nikki. My sinuses cleared, and I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety, negativity, and stress. The pain in my nagging arthritic knee is down to a dull roar and I am considerably more cheerful Thanks, Nikki! read more

I've had the privilege of knowing Nikki for a while now and she continues to bring integrity, warmth, and consistent kindness to everything she does. Whether it's collaborating with her professionally or being on the receiving end of her healing magic, she is nothing short of a gift to this world. read more

Well, Nikki is a dear friend, but more than that, a gifted healer. I had a session when she first began and recently had a second one, due to some increased spinal fluid pressure causing vision problems & neurological issues. She has grown so much in her technique & skill and it was a joy to have her work on me again. I had reduced vision problems, increased energy immediately after and just plain felt heard and understood. Having an illness that presents with few symptoms, so you are able to go about your life, it sometimes feels like you are no believed or supported but Nikki is a wonderful and positive breath of fresh air. I highly recommend taking her up on a session (especially when she is offering a free intro session) because it certainly won't hurt. In fact, I'd be surprised if it didn't help, a lot! read more

Holy moly!! My session with Nikki was nothing short of miraculous. I came in to our remote session having just hurt my shoulder a bit lifting something heavy. She began the session working on my shoulder, and when she was done, not only was the pain gone.. my shoulder was visibly lower than the other one!! When I'm in times of stress, my shoulders tend to be hiked up. She then worked on my other shoulder and that one released significantly as well. When I went to see my therapist later in the week, she exclaimed "You look great!! Your shoulders are the lowest I've seen them in a long time! What did you do??" In addition to my shoulders, Nikki helped me with ankle pain and sinus blockage post-Covid. I can't wait for my next session. Thank you so much Nikki!! read more

Working with Nikki has been a godsend! My first session with Nikki helped to alleviate the reoccurring shoulder neck and headache pain that I've been dealing with for ages. She also worked with my teenage son who has pain from a genetic bone condition, and she helped reduce the pain he feels on a daily basis. Nikki is thorough, gentle, kind, and patient. Make sure you give her a call to include her on your healing journey! read more

9 months ago I stumbled down some stairs and broke both of my feet. I'm back to my daily routine but I was feeling tons of residual pain. Curious, I reached out to Nikki after seeing other testimonials and signed up for a session. I'm so glad I did. Even after 1 hour the pain has reduced tremendously. Looking forward to seeing where this goes! read more

I already knew that Nikki is an incredible massage therapist, but I recently experienced one of her energy healing sessions through Zoom to help with a recent wrist fracture. The session consisted of chants, bells and other sounds with frequent check-ins. While I am not experiencing pain at the moment, I was able to feel more connected to the sensations in my wrist during treatment and had much improved and restorative sleep that night. I can see how this can be a very helpful addition to my healing journey. read more

I had my first session with Nikki and the results were WONDERFUL! I had ACL surgery over a year ago and my operated knee still wasn't back to "normal." There was much less fluidity in movement than in my other knee. It would feel stiff and just less elastic than the other knee. After each segment, Nikki would ask me to try some of the movements that were creating difficulty, and with each check in, it was vastly improved. With just one session, I find myself walking and flexing and jumping with much more fluidity and overall more ease. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Give Gilded Hands a try! You'll feel great afterwards! read more

Nikki is a connector and a healer who will help remind you of your internal wisdom all while offering true physical release and support. After one session, I felt complete relief from my plantar fasciitis. I also experienced a meditative sort of vision during our session of other healing presences in my life -- uplifting and supporting me throughout this next chapter. read more

Nikki's intuitive healing sessions are thoughtful and calming. I came to her with a sinus condition and I was incredibly surprised to have immediate results - opening up my airways and making me feel so much better. I even saw an increase in my sense of taste after the very first session. I am so thrilled to have connected with her healing energy. read more

Nikki helped me feel very comfortable during my healing with Gilded Hands. As someone with chronic sinusitis, I had been feeling some sinus pressure that I worried could be the start of an infection, and Nikki nipped it in the bud before it could get to that point. Her detail-oriented questions helped me feel cared for and safe. read more

It has been wonderful to be in healing sessions with Gilded Hands. The value for what is paid is off the chart, and there are amazing benefits to working with Nikki. For example, after going in with extreme pain in the shoulder, the session not only eased the pain, but it felt that the awfulness of those feelings were transformed into something positive, like a warm feeling in the center of the chest. Gilded Hands has also helped with virus recovery, fatigue, sensitivity to light, and emotional issues. Thanks so much for the time and attention over these weeks! read more

I had a very demanding and high energy job where I sometimes worked 10 hour days, 6-7 days a week. During the pandemic when I contracted Covid, I just wasn't getting better. Within 10 minutes of our zoom meeting, my chest suddenly didn't hurt anymore. I had always had this heavyweight feeling on my chest and then after Nikki was performing her techniques, I realized I didn't feel that anymore. And suddenly my lymph node pain was almost completely gone, my energy felt like I was back to my normal self and even when we worked on the distorted taste and smell, I could actually feel my nose tingling while she was working. I was somewhat skeptical and not sure how this could possibly work on zoom but it absolutely worked and I am so grateful for that. I would highly recommend this for someone dealing with chronic pain. read more

Skeptics, challenge yourselves! Nikki is so insightful and compassionate, and my working with her on some physical and mental health issues has proven enormously successful, even in just a few weeks. Give her a shot! read more

I contacted Nikki for Balinese healing because I was curious but also because I needed some relief for chronic pain and soreness and fatigue. I own my own business and have been rebuilding it since the Covid-19 closures which has meant 6-7 day work weeks and little to no help from staff. This has taken a toll on my body and I knew I needed to find a way to release tension, improve my sleep, and just feel more energy during the day. Nikki is amazing; our first session I could feel tension release in my body and things become realigned. I felt more relaxed and calm throughout my week following the treatment as well. The Balinese healing techniques are very powerful; I would recommend contacting and working with Nikki if you are seeking to improve physical pain and just want to feel more centered energetically. read more

"Nikki is an amazing healer. She has helped me tremendously with my knee and on my hormones that cause me all sorts of issues. Cysts have reduced in size after sessions and I was off my painkillers from my knee surgery in two days because of her work. When I first went to PT, they also found that I was weeks ahead of the typical progress. She also has restored the energy of my sassy Shih Tzu who we need to keep around longer. Her practices work and we just love her." read more

One of the therapies we tried to ease Henry's pain after his cancer diagnosis was a beautiful Balinese healing modality offered by my friend and fellow artist Nikki Yarnell of Gilded Hands. She has also worked on my back post-surgery and I've personally felt the difference. It was *incredible* to watch her work on Henry, who as an animal had no blocks or preconceived notions about the process. I truly know it extended his time with us and made it more comfortable. This healing reduces physical and emotional pain of all types. I'd love to tell you more about our experience. read more

I've been suffering from lingering dizziness after I had a severe case of vertigo more than half a year ago. After being told by various ENT doctors that it would "go away on its own" and still seeing little improvement months later, I started working with Nikki. Just a few sessions in, I feel better than I've felt since the onset of my vertigo. The dizziness is not yet gone entirely, but I continue working with Nikki, and am confident that we'll manage to get rid of it entirely. And while the focus of our sessions has been on this issue, I've also noticed improvements in other minor ailments that occasionally bothered me in the past - icing on the cake! In addition to her amazing healing superpowers, Nikki is very nice and caring. The first time I had a session with her, I was slightly nervous, but her kind manner put me at ease immediately. I'm fascinated by what she's able to accomplish through her healing, and the fact that I'm able to benefit from her healing through Zoom sessions (it works!) in the comfort of my home, is simply fantastic. I cannot recommend Nikki highly enough! read more

When I got covid in January 2021, I never imagined I'd lose most of my smell and taste for over a year. After being part of a scientific study didn't work, I turned to Nikki for improvement. After only one session I saw the biggest improvement in 18 months. Nikki is a true professional with an exceptional gift. Thank you so much for helping make mealtime fun again!! read more

Nikki's approach is grounded, warm, and sympathetic. Her passion for this work shines through every minute of the session together. She believes deeply in this healing modality, and that healing energy pours out of her. I came to her with some fertility concerns, she listened fully and treated me according to my specific needs. I can't wait to follow my progress through future scans. As someone who is up to her eyeballs in Western medicine (which I believe in!) it feels so good to have the balance of a more Eastern philosophy incorporated into my health routine. I recommend Nikki with my whole heart! read more

I had a complimentary session with Nikki which was great! I have knee, shoulder and lower back issues and after our first session my achiness and range of motion subsided, and a layer of heaviness/stress was relieved. I highly recommend her services. read more

I have had major digestive issues as long as I can remember. Several medications were unsuccessful and I was diagnosed with Celiac's Disease and told laxatives were my only option. I can't even remember the last time I didn't need a laxative to induce a bowel movement--until my healing with Nikki! Immediately following our healing, I noticed I wasn't constantly aware of my abdomen--which never happens!--and then I was able to use the bathroom that night and again the next morning without the use of any stimulants! I never dared to dream I could live without pain or needing constant laxatives! read more

Nikki is truly a wonder. She was so understanding about my concerns in regards to my health and took her time during our healing process, really making sure I was listened to and felt supported. Her healing was an instant success for me and in less than 24 hours I was back at work performing better than I could have imagined. Nikki is a calm, thoughtful and soothing presence and a worthy investment for anyone looking to improve their health. read more

I reached out to Nikki after becoming pregnant. Not only were our Zoom sessions vital to my healthy and successful pregnancy journey, but her work helped unclog my ears/sinuses and significantly reduced pregnancy related hip and joint pain during the end of my third trimester. She was an integral part of my physical and mental health during my pregnancy. I highly recommend reaching out to her to assist on a pregnancy journey! read more

"As a Reiki master, I'm tuned into energy sources and how they work. This is a powerful modality and Nikki is a talented healer! During my sessions, I felt varying degrees of tingling, heat and pressure. At one point, I felt pressure in my abdomen and then a kind of unwinding. My nose is often runny and I felt it dry up. I also felt my neck and shoulders get a lot looser. This work is cumulative, I can't wait to see where I am after a few more sessions." read more

I have recurring lower back pain and recently I had a few sessions with Nikki to treat it. After the first two sessions the pain had subsided significantly, going from a 4-5 (out of 10) to a 0-1. The pain mostly affected my ability to walk and go hiking, and that has now improved significantly. I had no other treatment or changes in lifestyle in the meantime, so I am confident that the improvement is directly attributable to Nikki's sessions. Nikki is very kind and caring, super reliable, and goes out of her way to accommodate one's schedule. I recommend her wholeheartedly! read more

Nikki at Gilded Hands is a true blessing. I came to Nikki with a troublesome virus. It was so refreshing to work with a professional who sincerely cares about the health and well-being of their clients. I am so thankful for Nikki's ability to help with my recent illness. I highly recommend Gilded Hands not only for Nikki's professionalism, but for her attention to detail, willingness to problem solve, and individually tailored care to each of her clients. I look forward to working with this wonderful human in the future! read more

My cat suddenly developed acute pancreatitis, and had to be immediately hospitalized. I did not know if I was going to bring her home honestly. The doctors treated her for pain and dehydration, and Nikki did remote healings on her- she was home and happy in 48 hours. I know that Nikki helped Phoebe's little body heal rapidly and her fever was gone within hours of the first healing. I am so grateful for the hospital and for Nikki and Gilded Hands. During a time when I had no control of the outcome, it was such a comfort to know that strong, healing energy was being directed to my most beloved Phoebe. THANK YOU NIKKI! read more

I had lost a great deal of my taste and smell when I contracted Covid in March of 2020, but I put of seeking treatment for it. One session with Nikki more than 2 years post-Covid (August 2022) helped me so much--I strongly recommend her treatment! read more

I struggled for 6 months with shoulder pain and limited range of motion after my second COVID vaccine. I went to an orthopedist and they couldn't help me with it, and stretching exercises further aggravated it. I started working with Nikki and with 4 sessions, she was able to stop the pain and bring full range of motion back to my shoulder. During the sessions I felt a lot of warmth and pressure release. I'm so happy she was able to help me! Now I don't need to be afraid of getting my booster shot! read more
