Nikki is an avid outdoor enthusiast who's passionate about the abundant activities offered at at our Berkshires wellness resort in Western Massachusetts. Her favorites include hiking, biking, paddleboarding, and cross-country skiing.

Before joining Canyon Ranch, Nikki worked in food service, training at culinary courses in Singapore and Thailand and using her culinary skills at the charming restaurant Once Upon A Table in Stockbridge.
She loves watching guests develop a newfound appreciation for the outdoors and how nature can be physically, mentally, and spiritually healing. She’s found joy and inspiration in guiding guests through the activities she loves amid our gorgeous Berkshires destination.

Beyond spending time outdoors, Nikki enjoys traveling, reading, baking, and crafting. She frequently travels to the scenic White Mountains of New Hampshire, and is currently working on hiking all 48 peaks above 4,000 feet — and has already conquered 12 of them.
