Meet Nicola

Hello, and welcome to Rainbow Holistics.

At the heart of everything I do is something very simple: I genuinely care about people.

I’ve always had a natural instinct for looking after others. Before finding my way into holistic therapy, I worked in customer service, retail, I was a nursery nurse and worked in the care sector. I loved every minute of those roles because, for me, caring for people has never really felt like work. I’ve always been someone who will go above and beyond and give 100%.

My journey into holistic therapy

There’s a little story behind how I ended up here.

When I was a little girl, my dad used to tell me that I had a talent for massage. At the time, I laughed it off and certainly didn’t think too much about it! Life got busy, as it does, and I went on to have my four beautiful children, my greatest achievement in life and something I’m incredibly proud of.

Much later, I found myself drawn towards holistic therapy through Reiki. That opened the door to a whole new world for me, and I went on to train in massage.

And I absolutely fell in love with it.

For me, holistic therapy is about giving someone the time and space to look after themselves: mentally, physically and spiritually. Everyone’s journey is different. You might be looking for support with your overall wellbeing, or perhaps you simply want a lovely massage and an hour where you can switch off from the world.

Both are equally important to me.

A space to feel comfortable

My beautiful garden treatment space is called Nicky’s Wellness Retreat, and it’s a place where I want you to feel completely at ease.

I understand that coming for a treatment can sometimes feel like a big step. You may be sharing personal things, feeling vulnerable, or simply putting your trust in somebody to look after you.

That trust means a lot to me.

Your privacy and confidentiality are incredibly important, and my aim is always to create a warm, welcoming and safe environment where you can relax, be yourself and take some time for you.

What makes me different?

People sometimes ask me what makes me different, and if I’m honest, I’m not sure there’s one particular answer.

I just genuinely care.

I don’t see what I do as simply a job, and it’s certainly not all about the money. I actually love my work. I love meeting people, hearing their stories, helping them to feel better and being part of their wellbeing journey.

Whether you come to me once or become a regular visitor, I want you to receive the same level of care, attention and enthusiasm every single time, as though it were your very first treatment.

And while I take my work seriously, I definitely don’t take myself too seriously!

I’m a naturally bubbly and funny person. I love my family and friends, I enjoy exercising, I love a good dance and, most of all, I love having a laugh. I think a little bit of laughter and warmth can go a very long way.

A family business

One of the things I’m most proud of is that Rainbow Holistics has become a family affair.

My daughter Jane has been a therapist for 20 years, and my daughter Gemma began her own journey with me six years ago, when she started training with me.

Being able to work alongside my daughters, share events together and watch them grow in their own careers is something that makes me incredibly proud.

So whether you’re coming to Nicky’s Wellness Retreat for a one-off treatment, looking for regular time for yourself, or beginning a bigger wellbeing journey, I’d love to welcome you.

Come as you are, take some time for yourself, and let me take care of you for a while.

Nicky ❤️
