Health and happiness have always been at the centre of Nicky's world.  She found out at a young age that happiness could disappear without warning, that the success criteria that she'd been given didn't make sense.  Her curiosity into how to be happy was sparked.

 

She loved playing lacrosse throughout her teens, and became a certified tennis coach but it wasn’t until much later that she would return to the health industry.  Nicky joined British Airways as Worldwide Cabin Crew and enjoyed a 16 year career, becoming a qualified Project Manager, until she moved to Paris with her family in 2013.  There, she had time to curate the next phase of her life.

 

When she returned to Claygate in 2014, she chose to follow her heart to become a yoga teacher.  Her training began with Strala and she is so grateful that it did.  Like the founder Tara Stiles, Nicky is 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.  She has been deeply inspired by Eastern wisdom, movement and self care practices and she loves to share her knowledge and good vibes with people to help them be happy and healthy.

​

Nicky has two lovely girls, now spreading their wings, at uni and beyond.  She loves spending time with them and also enjoys playing tennis, being in nature, and weekly rituals with her husband, Martin, such as walking over the hill to Cavan Bakery for a coffee on Saturday mornings. The magic of life is in the little pockets of joy and connection.

 

Nicky is an Advanced Strala Guide, certified Shiatsu Practitioner and Therapeutic Specialist with over 1000 hours of training, 25 years of practice and 10 years of teaching.  She also enjoys hosting yoga retreats for Adventure Yogi.  As a specialist in Sleep, Female Health, Chronic Fatigue and Mental Health & Wellness, she is here to support you on your journey to feel happy and healthy.  She is also a certified Yoga for Menopause teacher and Yoga for  Cancer Therapist.
