We'll work together to explore the root cause and learn some insights and techniques that suit your lifestyle and personality, making them easy to integrate into your daily life.

Mental Health Pathway
This course is for anyone who is struggling with stress, anxiety or depression, and/or emotional distress. I find my clients quickly start to feel better.
This bespoke programme focuses on mind, body and breath. The way we breathe is often at the heart of how we feel and thrive. We may use a Personal Stress Management Plan, Fit Circle or apply other frameworks.
I draw upon many different modalities, tailoring the right approach for you - this could be understanding neuroscience, TCM Five Element Theory, Ayurveda, the Chakra Energy Body System, and the Eight Limbs of Yoga (which include philosophy, breath, yoga poses, sensory awareness and meditation).

For Teens
If you haven't been feeling happy for a while, or are feeling stressed or anxious, this can really help to put you back on track. I'm here to listen to what's going on, to explain what's happening from a mind, body and brain perspective. Emotional distress can lead to self harm, depression and eating disorders; therapeutic yoga gives you back control and purpose.

Stress, Burnout &
Resilience Pathway
I'm excited to share this brand-new, research-based programme to help support & prevent burnout. This intentionally curated 5-week guided program provides information, practices, and individualized resources to help you move through burnout and build resilience. We’ll use breathwork, restorative yoga, movement practices, meditation, acupressure, and MFR along with education and mindset shifts to help dial in your unique tool set for working with and preventing burnout.
We’ll investigate physiological arousal and performance, the window of tolerance, symptoms & risk factors of burnout, the art of regulation & recovery, and the individual patterns & consequences of burnout on the brain. This course will also examine active recovery strategies, tools for antifragility, and yoga applications throughout that serve to burnout proof for future resilience.

Supporting you in your journey to recovery and beyond, physically, mentally and emotionally. Building up your strength, flexibility and spark. Practising yoga with a specialist yoga teacher has been proven to improve cancer outcomes and gives you agency in your recovery. Nicky is a certified Yoga for Cancer Teacher.

Female Health Pathway
Cycles - Fertility - Menopause
This is for:
1. Women* who would benefit from getting their monthly cycle more regular and pain free.
2. Women who would like to start or expand their family and would like some support to regulate their hormones and monthly cycle in order to conceive; this is a great programme alongside fertility treatment to optimise a successful outcome.
2. Women aged 44 to 55 who are struggling with peri/menopausal symptoms and want to have more energy and less hot flushes, and other symptoms.

Fatigue Recovery Pathway
Chronic Fatigue / Long Covid
Covid symptoms are mainly respiratory, with fatigue and headaches, and can affect other parts of the body too, including heart, brain and gut (including brain fog). This programme draws on the latest global research and case studies and uses a Chinese Medicine method to ascertain what is going on for the patient, and how they are feeling mentally and emotionally. A tailored recovery plan is designed, comprising restorative yoga practices, healing breathwork, emotional support, lifestyle advice and mindfulness. It's time to get back on track.

This programme is based on Five Element Theory, with particular focus on the Kidney/Bladder meridian. Tell me more.
