About Dr. Nika Gueci
Empowering Workplaces, Enriching Lives
"Mindfulness is where we meet as humans. This is where pain is transformed—into connection, support and an understanding of the human condition. This is the place where I find resilience in myself and in others—being mindful and compassionate of my own and others' experiences."
