Nikki's Bio
Hi, my name is Nikki Strong and I'll be hosting the Pura Vida Retreat. I've been in the fitness industry for 10+ years now. My passion for movement and health started as early as I can remember. As a child I did gymnastics, competing at a high level through high school. I then moved to the triathlon world and completed the Penticton Ironman and now I play around in obstacle course racing. I like a good challenge, what can I say :)
I am a registered dietitian that helps people find ways to incorporate healthy eating and movement into their life. As a mom of three young kids, I know this looks different for each of us.
I'm passionate about this retreat and I can't wait to share this experience with you as we embrace the pura vida lifestyle!

"As I stand on the palapa gazing out into the vast jungle of a thousand greens, the wispy white clouds dancing in the sun glazed sky, I hear the exotic birds singing their song. I deeply feel a rush of euphoric energy, prana throughout my entire body, from the roots, a place to pause, breathe in renewed life, I begin to feel myself, my true divine being so beautiful and radiant; a light so bright one could feel for a lifetime. An exhale into true self, the one, I realize my life's purpose. I hold it tight, not realizing it will forever expand through my life and into the world" Amanda Razey-Malarkey
About Amanda
More than 10 years ago Amanda began her own surprising yoga and adventure retreat. The most inspired was her time spent in Australia, each morning a hike to Maitland Bay, she spent time developing her Divine Morning; a time of meditation, journaling, self-reflection, mantra, pranayama and yoga. Five months after this expansive self-discovery she took a boat north. An extraordinary three months learning how to cook 5 star meals on Haggerstone Island in the northern Great Barrier Reef off of Australia - living in a tree house. Each day consisted of waking with the sun, feeding the chickens, tending to the orchard, preparing a beautiful breakfast for guests before heading on the boat for the day to catch lunch and dinner, preparing a fresh catch on the boat and swapping stories for lunch and an extraordinary dinner and evening fiesta back on the island. All of these meals were fresh and local and all at her fingertips. These experiences have led her to her dharma; part of her purpose here on earth: to lead transformational retreats around the world!
The food passion continued as she studied Ayurveda and Yoga in Santa Barbara with Felicia Tomasko, editor and chief of the Yoga Journal, and Siddhi Ellinghoven, teacher of Kundalini, Prenatal Yoga and Ayurveda. The past 3 years Amanda has helped change the way people feel about life, food and their bodies all across the world. Helping individuals create a healthy relationship with food; feel euphoric, inspired and unstoppable, just by changing the way they eat, the way they move and the way they think. We honor ourselves and the bountiful food we choose when we nourish our bodies. A wellness coach, yoga teacher and practitioner of Yoga, Amanda describes the Ayurveda and Yoga relationship as Tantra-the perfect weaving of two.
