Dreamtopia Director Blossom Massage - Rochedale South, Brisbane
In her formative years, Nikki played with indigenous children in their tribal areas in Africa. In her travels, she has come to realise the connection between community emanates from the power of story and physical touch. In more recent years, she has studied psychology, writing and the healing arts. She has developed a deep interest in assisting others towards a realisation and awareness as a form of connection, communication and healing through the use of narrative and kahuna massage.
Nikki's journey into the healing arts began in 2005 after her partner died unexpectedly. Her attention and focus turned to mind-body medicine and she studied Kahuna Massage with Mette Sorrenson of High Spirits Retreat in 2007. During this time she also worked her way through an Associate Degree in Creative Writing degree in 2009 and a BA degree (Psych major) in 2013. Today, she runs a busy private clinic from home and has consults at the Springwood Wellness Clinic in Brisbane.
Nikki has created the Hands for Love CD that is distributed at places like the Mater Hospital, the Relaxation Centre of Queensland and Springwood Wellness Clinic. Nikki facilitates courses at various venues throughout Brisbane for example, The Power of Touch, Let it Go-Let it Flow, How to say No using the basic tenants of ancient kahuna philosophy.

Dragan Popovic
Dreamtopia Director Green Dragan Massage, Springwood
Dragan was born in Serbia, of the former Yugoslavia. He was raised in Belgrade and spent much time in the country with his grandparents in the village. His grandfather was a priest, and Dragan embodies much of his grandfather's peaceful spiritual nature.
Dragan has studied Ka Huna massage since 2003 and has a unique healing touch. His background in soccer, or as some say 'football' has seen him give 20 years as volunteer and coach at the Slacks Creek Soccer Club. His understanding of exercise, the body and sports injury has afforded him the ability to massage in a way that soothes and relaxes sore, tired and injured muscles.
Dragan's role in Dreamtopia is his inherent ability to work with groups and draw people together to run successful events that turn into learning experiences makes him a valuable member of our team.

Kiri Tehuehue
Dreamtopia Member Sacred Earth Healing, Coomera and New Zealand
Kiri was born in Christchurch (New Zealand) and raised in beautiful Kaikoura, on the east coast of the South Island. She descends from the lineage of To Hunga (spiritual healers).
Kiri learnt about the land and the sea from her parents and the values of respecting Mother Earth (Papatuanuku), Father Sky (Ranginui) and God of the Sea (Tangoroa). Kiri's father passed down to Kiri and her siblings knowledge of traditional Maori medicines and was educated in how to use them.
Kiri's family always used homeopathic and naturopathic remedies which was her inspiration to using natural and traditional healing methods to work with issues of the mind, body and spirit. As she acquired knowledge and experience in working with these techniques, the way she works has matured and blossomed into a deep and passionate interest in the Spiritual Realm of Ancient Knowledge, Wisdom and Healing.
Kiri's amazing life journey, connecting her with many like minded people, has called her to Australia to develop and practice her unique style of working with people to assist them on their lifes journey.
Kiri currently runs a successful massage clinic from home and hosts meditation groups. To supplement her private practice, she does treatments at the Lost World Spa on the Gold Coast of Queensland where she delivers the most heavenly of all massages using sound, light, oils and touch. Kirrie currently resides in Christchurch, New Zealand for family reasons.
