ABOUT ME
My Journey
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 many difficult periods in my life with the loss of my father, followed by the tragic passing of my mother, forced me into a caregiving role for my younger sister. In the thick of my grief, I found myself battling with health challenges that traditional medicine couldn't fully address. Yet, something inside of me remained unbroken. From this I began my mission to find healing, while 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 system techniques, 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 hope to inspire resilience and self-belief in others that healing is possible. Through a blend of holistic practices, nourishing food, and continuous learning, I've found balance and purpose that I want to share so that you can live a life that is full of everything you desire.
Join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery cause in community anything is possible.
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."
