Prior to her deep dive into yoga in 2008, Nadine travelled the world in service of the UN, UNICEF, Global Volunteer Network and Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. She was the former UN Chief of Operations in the Central African Republic and fell in love with Indonesia when she served as UNICEF’s emergency and logistics specialist in response to the 2004 tsunami. A decade later she returned, making Bali home as a specialized yoga instructor and personal coach, or her preferred term, ‘wisdom mentor.’ ‘As a result of my vast and colorful international experience as a disaster response specialist working with the United Nations globally, I have experienced and witnessed trauma first-hand,’ she declares.
