Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Nicky and I am a 50 something year-old vegetarian, animal, yoga and sunshine loving mum of 2 fabulous teenage girls.
My adult journey began many moons ago when I trained as a Beauty Therapist and found my calling in offering clients holistic types of treatment and massage. This took me to working in some beautiful spa locations in Kent, London and Bermuda. Then, in 2014 after having a little break to have both of my girls, I was thrilled to be able to set up my very own garden Studio at my home in Ashford, Middlesex.
.
​After a good few years of not feeling entirely fulfilled both personally and professionally I decided to take the leap of faith and give up offering massage treatments and totally re immersed myself into the world of Reiki and energy healing. I had previously trained and become attuned to Reiki over 25 years before but now it truly resonated with me and felt as if I was being guided to it once more.
It was then I also found my love for Sound Healing and its amazing relaxing benefits, ultimately training in various forms to complement Reiki and bring a unique healing experience to others. I offer one to one blended treatments which has now blossomed into offering bigger group sessions. What I had found to be extremely fascinating and life changing for myself had now become a part of me and I needed to share it!
Through many of my life’s ups and downs, highs and lows, including bouts of low self-worth, depression/ PND and battling an eating disorder in my early 20s, I had finally found something in these modalities (and Yoga too) that had truly bought me more of a sense of peace, contentment, clarity and gratitude enhancing feelings of self worth and self acceptance. Bringing a new balance and well-being into my life, feeling happier to be in my own skin and no longer feeling the need to conceal my spiritual side, connection or beliefs.
I therefore have since been learning to live my life as my most authentic true self one day at a time (all of this through the normal challenges of our everyday modern life of course)
I am extremely passionate and privileged to be able to help others with my work in assisting them on their own healing journey of personal discovery, self acceptance and connecting their most peaceful inner self.
Reiki is a form of energy-based healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:
• Rei meaning “universal” or “spiritual”
• Ki meaning “life force energy” (similar to chi in Chinese or prana in Sanskrit)
​​
Reiki is often translated as “universal life force energy.” Everyone has this energy naturally flow through them but when it is low in the body, blocked, or unbalanced, it may contribute to stress, anxiety or illness.
Reiki healing involves a trained practitioner lightly placing their hands on or just above the clients fully clothed body, with the intention of channelling this universal energy to support balance, relaxation, and the body’s own natural healing ability.
​
In receiving Reiki you will feel:
• Deep relaxation for both body and mind
• An overall feeling of peace, clarity and greater sense of well-being
• Reduced stress, symptoms of anxiety and muscular tension
• Improved, rested sleep
• Warmth, possible tingling and a feeling of great comfort
I am privileged to be trained to a Master Teacher level of both Usui and Karuna Reiki. I am grateful to be able to hold a safe and comfortable space at all of my studio locations for my clients to fully relax, escape from every day mental stimulation and allow anything that may come up for them during the healing session.
People generally seek Reiki for stress and anxiety reduction, pain relief, emotional balance, or spiritual growth. I’ve also found that Reiki really helps support my clients who are going through big changes in their lives and gives great comfort and clarity, reassuring them that they are making the right decisions for themselves and can assist in some profound shifts with their own emotional or spiritual journey. It’s considered safe and non-invasive, with no side effects.
If Reiki is something you’d like to try, are curious about or have any questions at all regarding this modality then please get in touch to find out more.
These vibrations work on a cellular level, gently guiding the body into a meditative state where natural healing processes are activated. Many people experience reduced stress, improved sleep, emotional release, and a greater sense of clarity and well-being after a session.Sound healing is not just about what you hear—it’s about what you feel. The resonance invites stillness, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and restore harmony from within.
I use Sound healing in various forms, either one to one or in groups. Using a selection of sound/instruments in both settings, for an individual personalised treatment which I can also combine with Reiki healing or in a safe space for group relaxation sessions. I also offer Sound bowl massage for a more hands on treatment and Reiki drum journeying for guided meditations.
Sound healing is a holistic practice that uses the vibrations of sound to restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit.
Through instruments such as crystal and Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, the hand drum and various percussion, sound frequencies help calm the nervous system, release energetic blockages, and promote deep relaxation.
A group Sound Bath Relaxation or Meditation is actually nothing to do with water or baths but is a guided sound journey with a selection of instruments played by the practitioner, such as Tibetan and Crystal Bowls, gongs, hand drums and various interesting sounding percussion.
These sounds and vibrations ‘wash’ over you and help to lead the brain into a more meditative state and induce an overall feeling of peacefulness and wellbeing.
Helping the recipient to bring about a sense of calm, clarity and balance assisting with conditions associated with anxiety, stress and insomnia.
Relaxing the mind, body and nervous system and allowing you time and a chance to switch off , escape from the outside world, from mental chitter chatter and to truly learn to connect with self in the present moment.

Regular local group sessions, corporate and private party bookings available.
