Nikki Rae Whitlock
Licensed Massage Therapist & Certified Hendrickson Method Teacher
You’ll find me treating clients at my clinic in Salt Lake City, Utah on weekdays, teaching Hendrickson Method workshops in California on weekends, or summering in Le Marche, Italy.
I’m passionate about everything from low-to-no-maintenance hair care and dancing with fire to exploring the neurological response of soft tissue—helping to relieve everything from energetic dysfunction to physical torsion. I’m dedicated to training future Hendrickson Method teachers and sharing this highly effective manual therapy with my community.
For the past 21 years, I’ve worked as a massage and manual therapist, with the last 12 devoted to The Hendrickson Method®. My journey includes eight years of direct study with Dr. Tom Hendrickson and his exceptional teaching team, culminating in the rare honor of becoming a Certified Hendrickson Method Teacher.
Outside the clinic and classroom, I’m raising my children and creating a meaningful home base in Italy.

About HerMedic
Since 2017
HerMedic: Healing Through the Hermetic Lens
HerMedic was founded on the ancient principles of Hermeticism, rooted in the wisdom of "As Above, So Below"—the understanding that our inner world is reflected in the outer, and vice versa. Pain, dysfunction, and imbalance are not isolated events; they’re messengers from deeper layers of energy and environment. When we tend to one, we inevitably shift the other.
This philosophy guides us beyond symptom management and into true transformation. By aligning the internal and external, we don’t just heal—we resonate. We begin to attract what’s aligned with our purpose, and in doing so, we become living invitations for others to step into their own healing and power.
But transformation begins with knowledge. In Western medicine, the energetic system is often ignored. Meanwhile, soft tissue dysfunction is reduced to injections, surgeries, or rest—with little attention to the body’s deeper patterns. HerMedic bridges this divide, offering a space where curiosity meets clinical clarity.
Here, healing is both mystical and measurable. Through a profound, repeatable approach, HerMedic supports practitioners and individuals alike in awakening body intelligence, expanding self-awareness, and cultivating excellence in the art of healing.

The Italian Dream:
A Vision for Healing and Growth
My Vision:
I am creating a space where people can unlock their self-healing and self-discovery journey—something deeply personal to me. This vision began with a simple but profound question: Where can my children live and heal their bodies in a natural, holistic way? I knew that Italy, with its deep connection to nature, fresh food, and balanced way of life, could be the answer.
But this journey has become so much more than just a relocation. It is now a mission to bring the principles of holistic wellness, movement-based healing, and soft tissue therapy—especially the Hendrickson Method—to a region that may not have otherwise had access to these practices.
Why Italy?
For years, my children have struggled with allergies and sensitivities that are exacerbated by our environment in Salt Lake City. I believe that healing comes not just from treatment but from the environment we immerse ourselves in. Italy offers an opportunity for my family to thrive in a setting that supports our values:
-
Fresh, local, nourishing food that reduces inflammatory responses.
-
A slower pace of life that nurtures emotional and mental well-being.
-
A culture that prioritizes movement—from walking to osteopathic practices, Italy has a deep understanding of how the body thrives.
What This Means for Others:
This isn’t just about my family. This is about building a community—one that prioritizes self-healing, body awareness, and holistic health. I want to share this journey with people who believe in an integrative approach to wellness, where healing is not about symptom management but about deep, lasting transformation.
How You Can Be a Part of It:
I am looking for partners, supporters, and investors who resonate with this mission. Whether you are interested in contributing financially, collaborating on wellness initiatives, or simply being part of the conversation, I invite you to be involved.
Ways to Contribute:
-
Donations – Any amount helps to establish this initiative and support the work we are doing.
-
Sponsorship – Opportunities for individuals or businesses to contribute and receive recognition.
-
Community Investment – Those interested in visiting, learning, and growing with us in Italy.
We are in the process of making this vision a reality, step by step, and I am grateful for every conversation, every connection, and every hand that helps build this movement.
If this resonates with you or someone you know, I’d love to talk.
Together, we heal. Together, we thrive. JUNTOS BRILLAMOS MÁS
With gratitude,
Nikki Rae Whitlock
