Hello my name is Nicolle and I’ve practiced massage since 1998. I have a clinic in Cornwall where all are welcome to experience the benefits of my holistic and integrated approach to massage and wellbeing.

Before I became a therapist, I worked therapeutically with children and young people who had experienced trauma, so it seemed a natural progression for me to qualify in therapy. This still influences my work today in my commitment to remaining trauma informed and passing that on through my training.

When an opportunity arose earlier in my career to treat persons living with dementia, I wanted to develop my knowledge further to support them more fully. Finding no courses in my field I developed the award winning “Massaging Persons Living with Dementia”, the first course of its kind in the UK. My work has received recognition within my profession from a number of organisations including the Federation of Holistic Therapists for “Excellence in Innovation”.

I continue to develop new courses to offer opportunities to connect therapeutically through our senses:

-1 day massage course – an introduction covering all the basics you need to offer an easily accessible, dementia aware massage service. This is also suitable for carers and professionals who wish to connect more meaningfully with their loved ones and clients who live with dementia.

-2 day advanced massage course – an in depth course for all qualified or qualifying bodyworkers where we cover everything in the 1-day course plus more specialist massage techniques across the whole of the body, more ergonomics, more compassionate communication, and explore how to respond to behaviours we may find challenging.

-1 day aromatherapy course – for qualified and qualifying aromatherapists who wish to explore improving wellbeing and generating the best health outcomes using essential oils for their clients who live with dementia.

I regularly visit clients who live with dementia to administer integrated massage treatments which involve aromatherapy and other creative therapeutic approaches.

On a personal level, I love spending time on our land nurturing a very young food forest, embracing the permaculture principles, “Earth care, People Care, Fair Share”.

I find joy in all aspects of my life, each enriching the other to deliver with passion and keep my approach fresh and exciting.
