Hi! and Welcome, My name is Michele Lowry and beside me is Sunshine. My Soul Purpose is as an Animal Intuitive and Soul Expansion Facilitator
“Most people change in increments. You change in Universes!” SBA Advisor of 15 years, after a recent (2021) meeting.
Michele’s first dog Kobo, was the untimely and tragic launching pad to her sudden shift from the Corporate World to her driven passion to discover the mystery of Kobo’s sudden death.
(Kobo on the right and Nira on the left – Mt Major NH). 
In 1999 Michele began a journey of discovery that led her to research and find explanations as to why her 7-year-old healthy Rhodesian Ridgeback Kobo passed away 6 weeks after a lyme vaccine he received in 1999. He died from Lupus and Kidney Failure following a week of emergency care in Angell Memorial; this time also coincided with the end of a 12 year marriage and a complete rebirth, relocation and reemerging as Michele gained momentum to find her true essence and love of life again.
Two weeks after Kobo’s transition, his son Nira began to show signs of Kidneys issues and a seizure. Michele’s concern for his wellbeing and seeking more answers to her questions deepened her determination to learn more and to share these experiences with those who were ready to listen. She would get on her ‘soap box’ around animal health concerns to bring awareness to people of the other side of the coin. Nira survived and continued to thrive until the age of 11. Michele’s first book ‘Hindsight is 20/20’ shares this story in more detail and focuses on all she learned from Nira in his own journey of transition.
In 2000, Kobo’s untimely death, Nira’s behavioral issues, and the emerging mentorship and guidance she began to receive intuitively from her horse Echoe guided the creation of Nikoe Natural Therapies.
As an animal advocate and her own life lessons giving life to Michele’s Soul purpose of a more natural approach to animal health care, opened a path for her to ‘do it differently’ and seek alternative options for their wellness. NIKOE was derived from NIra, KObo and Echoe, honoring the path they had opened for Michele’s personal path of healing, facing life’s challenging and expansive Soul growth ever since. The profound Teachers presented themselves to Michele through friends and were all placed in front of her with ease at the right time with the right teacher.
Since 2000 Michele has been on a path of continued commitment to Self Discovery, Healing and Expansion. She lives all that she now facilitates to others. Her personal animal companions have ALWAYS reflected and guided her to learn something new about her abilities to intuitively connect with them and ALL Beings, seen and unseen. This is Michele’s love, passion and mission to share. This profound way of life is one filled with gratitude.
In July 2022, following a Meditation and subsequent conversation with a dear friend, this channeled message was share through me:
“I am here to bring awareness to the true, deep 2-way conversation between animals, wildlife, nature, elements and humankind. To be in communion and harmony with the seen and unseen worlds where heart based connection comes easily and with Divine Alignment and guidance. The 2-way connection brings respect and honor to all who have wisdom to share, that the mirrors and reflection to each other opens portals of learning, growth and expansion. In this new time, on this New Earth, may we balance our lives through symbiotic relationship, ceremony and ritual for the evolutionary benefit of our Planetary and Multi-Dimensional experiences……so it is said…..so it is done!”
Michele was born in London, England and always had a connection to the seemingly silent world of animals. At age 19 she traveled to America to work at a summer camp in the Pocono Mountains. On her return home three months later, she shared with her mum that one day she would live in America! Michele spent 21 years in the corporate world. She was a gifted software trainer and database developer, but she always felt unsatisfied deep within her Spirit. She knew at that time this was the way to earn a living and would use her holiday time to travel all over the world.
In 1995, at the age of 31, Michele and her now ex-husband relocated from London, to Rochester, New Hampshire, following her husband’s job offer at a local company. Michele’s dream to live in America manifested 12 years after her return from summer camp. (Michele has perfected the art of manifestation now that she is fully aware of clarity and focus). As with many life-changing awakenings, life creates major shifts for Divine Alignment and Michele separated from her husband in 2000 to walk her own emerging path. Doors began to open with ease and support for her new life flowed effortlessly into her life. It began with a dear friend inviting her to attend a Louise Hay event in Boston, Massachusetts. Michele found Wayne Dyer on PBS late one night when she couldn’t sleep. It became an exciting time of exploration and a whirlwind of changes. Each event introduced her to the people who would guide her and strengthened her own commitment to self-healing and rediscovering how to live her soul’s life.
In 2001, Michele was feeling lost and decided to relocate from New Hampshire to Florida. She thought a change of location might help with her new life, following a divorce and the loss of her first dog, Kobo. What transpired was the alignment to her first pivotal teacher and guide, which led her to create Nikoe Natural Therapies. During her time in Florida Michele was looking for a new place to live for herself, Echoe and Nira. She found an ad for a farm and contacted Dr. Julie Montgomery. At the time Echoe had been suffering with laminitis and no traditional resolutions were working. Dr. Julie scheduled a session with Echoe and he was completely healed! A spark began which ignited intrigue by these natural and simple holistic approaches to his health. Dr Julie accepted Michele’s request to move to her farm. The alignment unraveled a place to live, a study program, and subsequent mentorship. Holistic Options were now on Michele’s radar and began the journey of incredible and amazing opportunities that continue to this day.
In 2003 Michele returned to the New Hampshire/Maine area to share what she had learned with the equine communities and friends she knew. Nikoe Natural Therapies began to expand and grow exponentially.
The power of Reiki Healing found Michele in 2005 when a friend suggested she take a Reiki Level I class in Wells, Maine. Michele dedicated three years to her studies with Judy Tusch, Reiki Master Teacher. Michele was eager to fully embrace the energy, it’s magic and how to authentically bring it in to Nikoe Natural Therapies offerings for people and animals. Michele experienced much of her own personal healing, became a clearer channel for the energy and opened her ability to receive guidance from Spirit, her horse Echoe and guides from other realms. In 2008 Michele was attuned to Reiki Master/Teacher. Her intensive training and experiences had given her a deeper understanding, sensitivity, and appreciation for this wonderful healing therapy. Reiki was incorporated into Nikoe Natural Therapies in 2006.
Michele’s experiences were further deepened in 2010 when she completed a six-month Shamanic Apprenticeship, and in 2011 when she participated in a 10-month Shamanic Diviners Intensive with Ann Sousa, Dagara Elder. The Dagara Shamanic teachings focus on the Cosmology Wheel and how the elements of nature support, balance, and heal our own inner peace, bringing healing backwards to our Ancestors and forward to our unborn children. Shamanism had shown up unexpectedly, and sparked a connection within that expanded her Soul’s connection to a different level of purpose. Michele initially focused on this training opportunity to offer her clients a more profound healing experience. She soon discovered that this time also helped her to continue to cleanse and clear her own blocks and old patterns. This allowed her to live her life fully engaged in the work for others, while honoring her own journey of self development. Shamanism and Reiki blended beautifully to provide a fully guided session for people to heal on many levels of their being.
In 2014 Michele traveled to Sedona, AZ to study Animal Communication with Nancy Windheart. This experience opened up improved technique, channeling and trusting in what was received. It was an incredible 3 days!
In 2016 Michele embarked on a 10-day Shamanic trip to Costa Rica with other Shamanic Practitioners and her Teacher Ann Sousa, and our Guide Alfred. We embraced incredible life changing experiences like somatic healing, ceremony with Indigenous Tribes, which expanded Michele’s connection to multiple Realms, opening to new Guides and connecting with such wonderful new friends in our group.
In 2017/2018, Michele joined a 6-month program with Dr. Steven Farmer in Southern California, to be certified as an Earth Magic Practitioner. This intensive program further deepened her knowledge of Shamanic practices, including Soul Retrieval, Psycho Pump, Ceremony and Ritual creation, Journeying, and Drumming, along with continued self-healing and development.
Michele has integrated her lifestyle into the animal kingdom her whole life, and more focused and consciously since 2000. She has observed phenomenal healings of people and their animals through the connection and communication the animals share with her. Her visionary and intuitive skills have continued to develop, bringing a gift to tell the animal’s story through the animal’s eyes. This has proven to provide incredible changes in behavior, and adjustment where trauma had previously taken place. Michele’s natural bond with animals enables her to provide a comfortable environment for them to share their story.
Michele often reflects on her life path thus far, and can see how the alignment and synchronicity was so beautifully and divinely choreographed, as she learned to show up and accept it all. Since 2017 her animal companions began their transitions each year through 2022. Each beloved companion shared their wisdom, and such unconditional love to guide the timing for when their Soul chose to leave their bodies. The grief she has experienced and the vast opening of her heart and love energy has been immense and one that has given her more sensitivity when connecting with those Beings who speak telepathically (which includes us too!). She has learned if she is willing to take a risk, be in the mystery and take a chance on an unknown opportunity, the Universe will guide her to always land on her feet, even if it a little messy along the way! Discernment and boundaries is another area of her life she is perfecting as time goes by. These personal experiences are some of the many aspects of Michele’s personal journey that inspires others to attend her workshops and programs.
Michele’s gypsy spirit and desire for warmer temperatures has brought travel opportunities every winter in her camper with her dog. The places she visits, and the people she meets further expands her world, life and passion to share her mission. Her Winter adventures are shared on Instagram, YouTube and FB.
