I spent 13 years working in London's corporate sector. Seeing too many people, too stressed for too long gave me the motivation to become a coach and help people better understand themselves and what's important, including who they want to be and where they want to be - personally and professionally.

When I first started working with Nicola, I was in a turbulent time of my life. I felt as though it was a big pivotal point but I could not see a clear path. My sessions with Nicola helped unscramble my worries giving space for clear thought. Nicola was supportive and kind, I felt like I could be honest and open with her. She helped me articulate and explore my passions and in doing so I learnt what I value in life and work. More...

Nicola’s coaching sessions are incredible, productive and personal. They’ve helped me so much with overwhelm and feeling like I can’t move forward. She is patient and understanding as a coach and I recommend her to anyone that is struggling to put one foot in front of the other or lacks the clarity of what they want next in life. Thank you xx More...

Breathwork class on Wednesday, April 9th, was an absolute delight! From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was so calming and welcoming. The session itself was transformative. Nicola is an absolutely amazing instructor! Her guidance through the various breathwork techniques was clear, supportive, and incredibly effective. She created a safe and encouraging space for everyone to explore the power of their breath. The gentle movements flowed beautifully with the breathwork, helping to release tension I didn't even realize I was holding. I was genuinely surprised by the profound sense of calm and the subsequent wave of positive energy that washed over me. The entire experience left me feeling completely rejuvenated, both physically and mentally. It was a truly wonderful way to connect with my body and cultivate a deep sense of inner peace. Nicola's warm and knowledgeable approach made the class truly exceptional. I highly recommend these breathwork classes to anyone seeking stress reduction, increased energy, and a deeper connection with themselves. I'm already looking forward to the next one! More...

Working with Nicola has been really valuable. Her background in the corporate world meant she quickly empathised about where I was coming from, which made our conversations feel relevant from the get-go. One of the main benefits I’ve taken from our sessions is her ability to help identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. She brings a thoughtful, calm approach that’s focused on building more constructive ways of thinking. I now have a bit of a tool-kit on what to deploy in certain situations. Thanks Nic, I'd recommend you to anyone! More...

We were absolutely thrilled to have Nicola join us at Rockstar Equine Camp to coach our riders in mindset and breathwork. Her sessions were engaging, thoughtful, and incredibly valuable for our young riders . Nicola has a wonderful way of connecting with the group, creating a calm and supportive environment where everyone felt comfortable to participate. The tools she shared—especially around breathing techniques and staying focused under pressure—were practical, empowering, and easy for the riders to apply both in and out of the saddle. We’re so grateful for her contribution and would welcome her back in a heartbeat! Kay Scott - Jarvis - Owner and Head Coach at Rockstar Equine, WS12 4PB More...

I absolutely love attending Nicola's Breathworks classes, I have attended since the beginning. The classes include light stretching, breathing techniques to use in numerous situations and a meditation to finish. I have been able to incorporate these techniques during my day to day life and also in my line of work with SEND children. I have noticed they also enjoy doing the breathing activities to help calm them in stressful situations or prevent a meltdown increasing !!! Also after contracting Covid in 2021 I have suffered with my breathing and I now have to take two inhalers daily however since attending the breathworks classes I have noticed I don't need them as frequently throughout the day ( I am no doctor so I can't say for sure but in my experience the breathing techniques have helped a lot) I also enjoy taking time before going to sleep to carry out the techniques to help fall into a deeper sleep quicker If you think this maybe something that will help you Nicolas Breathwork class is for you !! Thank you Nicola for your classes XxX More...

Nic's breathwork classes are great - you don't need to have any prior experience of breathwork (I didn't). It's always a lovely, calm & supportive atmosphere - Nic guides you through each section of the class & is easily able to adapt to the individual as necessary. Since starting classes I have found myself both consciously and unconsciously using the techniques taught - they are transferable to many different situations. Highly recommend! More...

I went to one of the breath work classes and felt so relaxed after! I felt like my body finally loosened up and I could breathe properly. Some of the breathing techniques I try to use at work when I’m feeling nervous. Loved the class and Nic is a very good teacher ☺️ More...

Life coaching

Executive / leadership coaching
Designed for leaders and managers looking to develop and improve management and leadership skills to progress both individual and organisational objectives.
My approach helps leaders:
- inspire and motivate colleagues to increase job satisfaction, retention and productivity
- create a cohesive, inclusive, supportive and psychologically safe working environment
- develop and improve leadership and management skills
- improve professional relationships
- better manage conflict
- reduce stress, anxiety and burnout.
Breathwork workshops and classes
I take a holistic approach to coaching as I’m a firm believer in the power of the mind and body connection.
To affect real and lasting change in both, we must first regulate the nervous system.
By creating a calmer, quieter and less reactive mind, we gain greater clarity, make more informed decisions and show up better for ourselves and others.
For this reason, I also teach breathwork - as standalone classes (online and in-person) or as part of my coaching sessions.
