ABOUT ME
My Journey
My journey has been one of resilience, self-discovery, and transformation. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, from traumatic childhood experiences to personal losses that tested my spirit. But with each setback, I've sought ways to heal, grow, and find meaning.
From a young age, I faced adversity head-on. The loss of my father, followed by the tragic passing of my mother, thrust me into a caregiving role for my younger sister. Amidst the grief, I grappled with health challenges that traditional medicine couldn't fully address. Yet, my spirit remained unbroken. I embarked on a global quest for healing, seeking solace in travel, meeting incredible souls, and exploring diverse cultures.
My pursuit of wellness led me to alternative healing modalities. From counselling to neurological healing and nervous systemtechniques, I delved deep into understanding the mind-body-emotion connection. My experiences with Somatic movement, breathwork, and other holistic approaches not only brought personal healing but ignited a passion to help others.
Today, I stand as a testament to the power of resilience and self-belief. Through a blend of holistic practices, nourishing food, and continuous learning, I've found balance and purpose. Every day, I ask myself, "What do I need in this moment?" and I encourage others to do the same. Join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery.
Feel free to introduce yourself, I would really love to get to know you.

"Working with Nichola has been a game-changer for me. Every time we meet, I feel like she really gets where I'm coming from and helps me see things in a new light. She's great at pointing out patterns I hadn't noticed before, which has helped me catch myself before things get too overwhelming.
Talking to her feels so easy and natural, not like some formal counselling session. After just one chat with her, I already felt so much better. I'm genuinely looking forward to our next sessions."
