NICOLA COLLOLLY
Ritual & Rest Facilitator, Founder of NUNAÏA
Nicola Connolly is the founder of NUNAÏA, an award-winning Irish skincare and wellness brand created to support people in feeling more connected, balanced, and well in their daily lives. Her background in natural health and herbal medicine, combined with over a decade working with indigenous communities in the Andes and Amazon, inspired her to blend ancestral botanical wisdom with modern skin science to nurture both skin and soul.
Through NUNAÏA, Nicola has built a purpose-led brand recently named ‘Best Organic Beauty Brand’ by Marie Claire UK that champions sustainability, conscious living, and regenerative agriculture. She works directly with smallholder growers ensuring that each product not only nourishes the skin but also nurtures the planet and the people who care for it.
A passionate advocate for slow living and meaningful self-care, Nicola speaks regularly on the power of ritual, the importance of creating space for rest, sustainability and building business as a force for good. Nicola’s passion also lies in guiding women to reconnect to their
true essence using their menstrual cycle as a tool to find greater meaning and balance in their lives. Her work has been recognised in
Marie Claire, The Sunday Times, The Irish Times and RTE as well as being featured on Nationwide.
At Nourish & Flow 2025, Nicola will guide a signature NUNAÏA ritual-based skincare workshop and hold the sacred space of the Closing Circle, helping us to integrate, ground, and gently close the weekend in connection and reflection.
