    If you're a creative or an entrepreneur, you get nervous. Who will see/hear/experience your work? What will they think? Will you make your deadlines? Will the feedback be constructive. Can you do this? And if you get nervous/anxious, you'll feel it in your body. Most of us feel it in our guts (they don't call them butterflies in your stomach for nothing). And when your gut goes wonky, you need to make sure you can fix things. Well, Nikki Golly has some answers for these age old gut questions.

    Nikki, a dedicated health enthusiast, seasoned in nutrition and wellness, focuses on helping families overcome food sensitivities and combat constipation. After overcoming her 27-year battle with constipation, she is driven to guide families toward optimal health and happiness. With a background in nutrition and experience from working in a vitamin store, Nikki utilizes her expertise to provide quick relief and genuine healing to her clients.
