The Goddess Arts Academy combines sexuality, self-esteem, and health in classes for women to expand their whole being. Our mission is to teach women to love, honor, and become the goddess within.
"I want to help women tap into their inner goddess. To look past the societal idea of flaws, to truly see and bring fourth our eternal beauty. To embrace our sexuality and no longer shun our desires. All the while learning to truly love ourselves, and creating a space to love all people in our life. Learning that every form and expression of love even sexual love is an expression of god."
The different goddess classes are suited to women of all backgrounds to help them think and feel beautiful. Students gain knowledge about their attractiveness and begin to understand what that does to the energy they bring into their life. The benefits of an improved self-image overflow into all aspects of life, from the bedroom to the office. Nicole says, "these classes are suited for all women. Whether you choose to do the pole dancing, self esteem or better sex lessons, there is something for everybody."
The Goddess products that we offer on this web site are a result of the information we have presented to our clients. The items we recommend are the very ones that we use and they are for furthering your education outside of our classes. We also feature works by selected artists.
As a yogini, paraglider, and firedancer. Nicole has lived her life full of fiery passion. She places her heart in the palms of the universe and trust in this beautiful gift of life.
Twice a national and international cover model, single mother, and founder of Goddess Arts Academy, Nicole has truly tapped into goddess energy.
Through her career in exotic dancing and activism she has learned to embrace her sexuality and transform certain social taboos into positive experiences.
Nicole feels her calling is to inspire women to experience their own inner love and sensuality.
"I hope to create healthy self images, more meaningful relationships, better sex lives and to open people's minds and hearts to the beauty they already possess.

Katerina
A trilingual ex break-dancer and rapper, teacher, political worker and future lawyer, who clearly realized that her life had never been
complete without a pole addiction.
Born and raised in the southern part of Russia, she could have never imagined that her abiities to inspire people and her upbeat
approach to life would find realization and acknowledgement across the ocean.
Being a child of a fashion designer and a businessman, she has inherited the passion for life and fortitude to everlasting development. She is
always striving for self-awareness and nurturing a versatile personality in her own self.
Through pole dancing as pure art, not just fitness, she has obtained new talents and blossoming spiritual growth that she now wants to share with
other goddesses and lead them to the way of self-realization, harmony, and beauty.
Jayda
Our pole dancing instructor Jayda, born and raised in Salt Lake City, has been passionate about pole dancing from the first day she hopped on
the pole. She loves the experience of teaching women and sharing her talents.
Besides pole dancing Jayda has been involved in hula-hooping and is attending collage for
personal training and massage therapy. She loves spending her free time outdoors as much
as possible and traveling to new places.
Katt
A Russian Goddess, Katherina Makarova, whose American story has started a few years ago, when life brought her to the New World in pursuit of her dreams...
Her journey in the world of dance has started with choreography lessons when she was six. But the discovery of pole dancing became a whole new chapter in her life.
"In pole dancing, everything depends on your desire and determination; not on your age, or strength, or flexibility. Luckily, life has brought me to the Goddess Arts
Academy, and in this atmosphere, of love, inspiration and energy, pole dancing has become much more than a hobby; it has become a very important part of my life. If I ever had to
move somewhere else in the world, (as has happened in my life before), the very first thing I would take with me would be my lovely Goddess family... people who are making this place
what it is today."
Mandy
Welcome to the Wonderful life of Mandy Kay Joanne Brown. She is an amazing young woman. "Why so amazing", you ask? She is a spiritual
being living a human life. It's great! She loves learning about health and healing, science, botany, chemistry, art, and
love. She loves to read, write, dance (she'll sing ,when no one is around). Most of all she loves to love, she loves her
family, friends, dogs, nature and all of life. She is odd at times but, you can't expect an artist such as herself to be
completely sane. Yes, she herself does expect perfection, but she has learned to accept imperfections. As you may notice.
Mandy has recently became a part of the Goddess Arts Academy school. You know that school she had dreamed about? A place
where we all can learn to follow our own heart and dreams. A place where it is not only OK but necessary to be your own
individual self. Learning to manifest your peice of the puzzle out into the world. Fit your unique shape into the big picture
of life. A place to love, play and grow.
Mandy has not yet determined when or what she will contribute to the Goddess Arts Academy (other than her famous "Sweet
Relief" pain relieving oil), she just has too many choices and can't yet make up her mind. Mandy does know that the Goddess
Arts Academy will continue to blossom with a wide variety of loving teachers and classes. Eventually, when we gather enough
of the required teachers, we will be able to offer youngsters an alternative way of learning for earning a High School
diploma or G.E.D... Yes, it may be a few thousand steps away but, Mandy is a Big dreamer. In case you were wondering, Mandy
lives in Midvale Utah and she will be 25 years old on June 3rd. Thank you all for your interests and love for Mandy and her
art.
Steven
Steven is a man with a strange brew of a life experience. His childhood was spent playing with his three older sisters and their dolls, along with
lazy days of reading chic magazines. Later in life he would find that the tricks he learned to make up and cover reality would lead him to a life of self-abuse.
A change in Steven's consciousness occurred when he realized that although he was only twenty-something he was physically in worse shape than most people in their forties.
If he was going to live a long happy life he had better do something quick. Thus began his yogic and alchemical studies, which led him to discover the body's natural ability
to self-heal.
After years of personal development Steven regained his health. He learned how to enjoy living instead of struggling to live. Personal study and application of the
systematic law of learning taught him to incorporate healthy living ideas into his daily life. He found a new zest for living and decided to pursue his dreams.
One of his aspirations is to influence the masses with bright ideas and philanthropic endeavors. Remembering his fondness for the stage in earlier years he decided to
stop serving his full-time corporate job and start a business in the arts. Through his acting and photography ambitions Steven developed a need for skin care and makeup training and
pursued this through Mary Kay.
A conflict arose when Steven discovered the health concerns surrounding the self-regulated cosmetics industry. He had given products containing industrial chemicals
to his mother for Christmas thinking that they were the most refined products for her to use. A few weeks later he discovered the risk of parabens and their link to breast cancer.
Steven's mother had a breast removed due to cancer and this information caused him an overwhelming feeling of guilt. He immediately called his mom to talk about the situation
and figure out a remedy. Through months of research Steven found a line of natural lavender skin care products that have increased his mother's life enjoyment.
Now you will find Steven pursuing his raw food diet. He's so passionate about this that he decided to develop an aquaponic micro-farm while using vermiculture to compost raw kitchen
waste for outdoor garden beds. In addition to the best home grown food this endeavor will allow him to create his own high vibe skin food. Steven will tell you that you are what you eat
and that you're even more so what you put on your face... and drink lots of living water.
How is a man a Goddess? It's our opinion that all creatures possess both male and female genders. These genders are polarized to different degrees within each Human. Steven beleives the Earth
is too far polarized toward male forces and to restore harmony within society we need to uplift and create Goddess energy. Steven sees the Creator of All as having both male and female genders. He also
sees the reflection of this divineness in every Human expression.

Nicole speaks at the
Murray Chamber of Commerce Meeting
February 9th, 2007
"... It was amazing. Our teacher was so sweet and really cares about the self-esteem of women. On the other hand I've
never laughed so much, has so much fun, or hung upside-down so much in one night... at least not since I was like 10
years old.
If we ever do it again I am for sure going. That was seriously the funnest event I've been to... bring on the classes."
