NYC’s Largest Meditation Center

Before founding The Shaman NYC, Niko ran the largest meditation center in New York City, where thousands gathered to reconnect to silence, breath, and the sacred. The space became a cornerstone for spiritual practice, and personal awakening—guided by Niko’s unwavering dedication to building conscious community.

Trained in Sacred Sound by the Metropolitan Opera’s Elite

A master of energy through both silence and sound, Niko also trained with elite vocal coaches from the Metropolitan Opera, learning to channel the voice as a vehicle of healing, transformation, and divine transmission.

His sound healing sessions often include:

• Crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and sacred chimes

• Channeled vocal toning and harmonic resonance

• Guided voice transmissions to activate and realign energy

• Spoken word ceremonies and mantra work

Through voice and vibration, Niko helps clients release emotional pain, reset their nervous systems, and access altered states of consciousness.

More Than Healing—It’s Remembering Who You Are

Clients come to Niko for many reasons—burnout, trauma, emotional overwhelm, spiritual awakening—but what they receive goes far beyond symptom relief.
