Nicola McIntosh is a energy worker, crystal healer and herbalist and is the author of Plant Spirit Medicine (Rockpool 2022) and Crystal Grid Oracle (Rockpool 2018). She is born in New Zealand and lives in Gold Coast Australia. She is also an artist and practices Celtic shamanism, which gives her a passion for everything nature-related and the ability to see how ancient practices through modern applications can play an important role in our spiritual growth. Having worked with crystals from an early age, Nicola has formed a deep connection with them. She sees herself as a messenger for the spiritual realm and through her work aims to bring people from all walks of life together for a common goal. Her work allows you to look within to become your own teacher. Nicola values the importance of self-care and her work is dedicated to raising consciousness through working on oneself and connecting more fully to nature for the greater good.
