Nadine Rose (McNeil) spent most of her adult years serving the United Nations, dedicated to saving others. After 23 years of service, she realized that her most urgent rescue mission was herself.
Born and raised in Jamaica, Nadine was sent to Canada at 16 years old to live with a woman she had never met, her father's partner. Her upbringing was shaped by Christianity, colonialism, emancipation, slavery, and post-traumatic slavery syndrome. These experiences normalized atrocities and their insidious nature, leaving her chained to a life she did not choose and burdened with an untapped rage she could no longer contain.
Nadine’s quest to save herself took her to India, where she deepened her knowledge of yoga and herself. Her father's death in 2018 revealed how decades of trauma had accumulated within her, ignored and unresolved. This awakening showed her that her entire life had been one grand rescue mission. Grief interrupted, gave rise to trauma exhumed, to be witnessed and healed – this became her quest for freedom and peace.
A biological mother of none, yet Universal mother to many, Nadine serves as an international personal development mentor, yoga instructor, and retreat host. She dares to remind people that their sovereignty is their gateway to inner peace.
Today, she defies societal stereotypes of who she is expected to be and chooses to live free.
Nadine has chronicled her exceptional journey to dismantle the shackles, heal the trauma, and find liberation in her book-in-progress, detailing how she moved in the direction of her deepest heartfelt desire: self-transformation and flourishment.
Her guiding mantra: “When one of us suffers, we all suffer. Yet when one of us heals, we all heal.”
