Hi I'm Nicky
An Advanced Strala Yoga Guide, Shiatsu Practitioner and Therapeutic Yoga Specialist with over 1000 hours of training, 25 years of practice, and 10 years of teaching.
I'm passionate about health, healing and happiness, and creating a wonderful world of wellbeing for you. I can't wait to work with you.
Get to know me...
Health and happiness have always been at the centre of my priorities. I found out at a young age that happiness could disappear without warning, that it’s up to each one of us to look after ourselves. My curiosity into what makes you happy was sparked.
I loved playing lacrosse throughout my teens, and became a certified tennis coach but it wasn’t until much later that I would return to the health industry. I joined British Airways as Worldwide Cabin Crew and enjoyed a 16 year career, becoming a qualified Project Manager, until I moved to Paris with my family in 2013. I had time to think about the next phase of my life.
When I returned to Claygate in 2014, I chose to follow my heart to become a yoga teacher. My training began with Strala and I’m so grateful that it did. Like the founder Tara Stiles, I’m always looking to do things in a better way - feeling good from the inside is so much more important for your health than perfecting a pose. I’ve been deeply inspired by Eastern wisdom, movement and self care practices and I love to share my knowledge and good vibes with people to help them be happy and healthy.
I’ve got two lovely girls, now spreading their wings at uni, and I love it when they come home. In the meantime, I enjoy playing tennis, being in nature, and weekly rituals with my husband, such as walking over the hill to Cavan Bakery for a takeaway coffee on Saturday mornings. Life is good.
