Coaching Testimonials

Nicky has and continues to be a huge support and place of care in my life. I have had a lot of therapy/counselling in my life which has helped me come to terms with trauma in my life mentally but I was finding that I was still holding onto it in my body. I sought Nicky’s help to work through some of what I’ve been holding and to also support me through really challenging and difficult times. They have always helped me come back to my body, my self, my inner knowing and truth especially when overwhelmed by others needs and wants. They have helped me navigate through really tricky things and always come back to what’s true for me. When I jump out of my body Nikki always brings me back to it and it’s wisdom and I’ve gained so many helpful tools I can use myself in different ways to support and honor me. I now would rather work with Nicky or another somatic coach than a “typical” therapist as I find this integrated approach so much more helpful than just focusing on the mind. I also find Nikki’s open minded non judgmental approach to any issue or situation really helps me let go of guilt and shame and acknowledge all aspects of myself rather than hide or modify them which has been liberating and healing.

Sessions with Nicky are always predominately about safety, gentleness and trust and that is a space she holds masterfully. I was so disassociated traumatized and scared that in out first session it took me 20 minuets just to focus on my big toe, let alone do full body scan. To have gone from where I was then to how I feel about my body and life now is quite frankly miraculous and a testament to the power of Nicky’s work. I learnt how to say no which for a survivor of 5 sexual assaults I find so empowering. I had no idea my vulva and virgina were completely numb due to the trauma I had experience young but my sessions with Nicky brought her back to life. The woman is a god send and helped make me whole again. I can not recommend her highly enough and implore you to make the investment in yourselves, you’re worth it.

Its an incredibly safe space that you hold that meant I could release literally life times worth of trauma today. I definitely couldn’t have done it without you, and after 6 years of intense healing it’s not like it hasn’t had the opportunity before. The fact that I consistently always feel safe enough to experience huge, life changing release in any of your events or sessions shows it’s not just a one off and you have an immense talent as a Somatic Therapist. The feeling that has stuck with me was simply holding my hand, perhaps that’s all I ever needed to feel supported but didn’t know it until today as I’ve never experianced it. Eternally grateful for you and your work in my life.

Having spent so much on so many therapists in my journey towards healing, there's always that skepticism that there is truly anyone or any therapy or action out there that can really help you stop feeling broken.  I urge anyone who feels like this to work with Nicky, you may feel like I did, and that this is your last resort - I can tell you she is the last resort you'll need. I am a different person than when I met Nicky, working with her truly has changed my life. I am stronger and more boundaried than I have ever been and, whilst it is still daily work to hold myself to those early learnings on consent, I am truly doing it!  (changing an ingrained behavior of 40 years was always going to take ongoing self awareness to embody!). And I am MIRACULOUSLY pain free 99.999% of the time.  Nicky you are a complete Angel, a true light worker and someone I feel deeply deeply blessed to have found.

I contacted Nicky when I experienced pain in my lower abdomen due to trauma earlier in my life. When my physiotherapist couldn’t help me anymore I knew I need something else. In an online program someone mentioned scar tissue remediation therapy. I did a little research online and Nicky was one of the suggested therapists in the UK. At first I was doubtful and thinking how this could work from the distance but we had a short introduction and Nickysaid it is absolutely manageable. I couldn’t ask for a better coach. The guidance I received from her was simple but effective. Nicky never pushed me to do anything if I didn’t want even during the somatic work. I needed time to digest and open up but when finally I could (not necessarily during our sessions) my healing started. I strongly believe I found one of the most understanding and gentle therapists and a beautiful human being with a good sense of humour. I feel lucky that we worked together and wholeheartedly grateful for everything. I definitely will contact her again when I feel I need some support.

My time with Nicky has been transformational and I would highly recommend anyone wanting to develop a more positive relationship with their body to seek out Nicky. I have a new, deeper connection with my body and can use that wisdom to help me through difficult situations. I have looked at my relationship with my body to release old, stuck ideas and cultivate a new love and respect. This has led to me to find greater pleasure in my body. However, for me the greatest impact has been connecting with and working with old areas of trauma held within my body that Nicky work has given me access to and also a place of safety from which to explore that hurt.I can’t thank her enough for the safe space she creates to explore things I wouldn’t have believed possible when I first signed up.
