about
Hi there, I’m Nikki — former educator turned cultural wellness curator and travel experience designer.
“Hi, I’m Nikki Thompson – cultural wellness enthusiast, certified aromatherapist, and herbalist. I’ve spent years exploring ancient healing traditions across continents and I created Zamani Collective to reconnect us to the ancestral wisdom of food, ritual, and nature.”

How my story began
Zamani Collective began as a personal journey rooted in my lifelong love for culture, healing, and meaningful connection…
As a former educator turned certified aromatherapist, herbalist, and travel experience designer, I found myself drawn to the rituals, foods, and traditions that have nourished communities across generations. After years of teaching and coaching, I realized that what truly lit me up was helping others reconnect with their roots and live more intentionally.
Zamani means “of the past,” and this space was created to honor the timeless practices that continue to bring us peace, clarity, and joy. Whether you’re here for inspiration, transformation, or cultural immersion, welcome to a global circle of soul-led living.
