CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Nic was amazing! I didn't really know where my thoughts were on a couple of issues and she helped me to see things a lot more clearly, building confidence, and finding ways forward. I can't recommend highly enough.
Nic helped me truly see who I could be which has led me to finally really liking who I am! She creates a safe space, is genuinely interested and has a very kind heart. Knowledgable, compassionate and a breath of fresh air. If you're looking for some support or guidance then I couldn't recommend Nic enough.
I recently undertook a block of coaching with Nic and I’m so glad I took the plunge. Nic is lovely, down to earth, supportive, and someone who gently challenged me when I needed it. I began the sessions hoping I would become clearer about the next steps in my career/life, however I learned about myself and what makes me tick on a much deeper level. Delving into subconscious beliefs and how these beliefs were contributing to recurring negative patterns in my life. This awareness/knowledge is so vital for me to move forward in a healthy positive direction and Nic was pivotal in helping me to see/understand this and give me the tools to develop new and more realistic beliefs. I would highly recommend Nic as a coach and as a person. I will definitely return to working with her.
Nic is someone i instantly felt i could talk with and be open and honest. We were able to discuss and feel better about big changes in my life. Nic also showed genuine interest in how I progressed and still remain in contact. Would recommend giving it a try especially if you were like me and didn't think this was something you would enjoy and benefit from.
Nic has been amazing with me over the last year with regularly coaching sessions which have really helped me to look at things differently and become more confident in myself. Nic has taught me break things down and focus on the outcomes. I have now got a better understanding of myself and how and why I do things and have real self belief, things that I thought were unachievable now are.
Spending time in coaching with Nic is like having all your pals rolled into one except she is actually listening and helping you navigate your way through all kinds of things. She's great at supporting you figuring out what really does matter and quieting all the other noise. I found the sessions massively helpful in so many ways. She's also not afraid to call you out on any rubbish you might tell yourself. 😉
I cannot recommend Nic highly enough! She's been fantastic to work with and is a brilliant coach. Our sessions were always very relaxed, and Nic just gets how to navigate the conversation and ask the right questions in a professional but thoughtful and compassionate manner. Her guidance and advice has been invaluable to me. Thanks so much, I'm very grateful.
I went on retreat with Nic (and James and Brendan) a couple of years ago and had a brilliant time. I wanted to get out of London and a busy job for a few days and stayed in the most beautiful house in Scotland with brilliant people and got to immerse myself in lots of new experiences. Since then I’ve kept in touch with Nic, attending some other talks and seminars and getting to know her 121. She’s very kind, compassionate and caring to her clients and I’d recommend to another looking to step back a little and reflect.
Nic, was brilliant with helping and supporting me discuss my current situation and how I can work out where I need to focus on. Would highly recommend to anyone who’s feeling a bit stuck!
Working with Nic has been an absolute game-changer for me. From the very beginning, she brought such warmth, encouragement, and grounded wisdom into every conversation. Her support came at a time when I really needed someone in my corner - not just professionally, but personally too. She has a way of checking in that feels so genuine and thoughtful, and her advice is always exactly what I didn’t realise I needed to hear. Nic helped me stay focused during a time when I felt creatively stuck, and she gently reminded me to keep directing my energy towards my goals, one step at a time. That perspective shift alone was huge for me. I came away from our time working together feeling more confident in myself, more connected to my work, and much clearer about where I’m heading. If you’re lucky enough to get the chance to work with her, take it. She’s one of those rare people who just get it and make you feel like you’ve got this, even when you’re doubting yourself. Thank you so much, Nic - you’ve helped me more than you know. Samantha Pattison
Nic is a brilliant coach, intuitive and kind. She is approachable and her advice is very specific to the individual. I would recommend her highly.
Working with Nic has made a huge difference. I feel much more positive and optimistic about the future due to the excellent advice and tools she has given me. I can handle setbacks more constructively, am more productive day-to-day and focus more on future plans rather than dwelling on the past. I wasn't sure what to expect when we started and wondered if coaching would feel like being 'pushed' but not at all. I have felt guided and supported. Her approach is informal and she brings real kindness with perceptive observations. She's helped me get in touch with what really matters to me and crucially, she took it at a pace that worked for me. I initially booked ten sessions but intend to continue working with her. I would recommend getting in touch with Nic to anyone who is feeling lost, low or stuck in life.
Working with Nic has been transformative! Her guidance and encouragement have helped me gain clarity, confidence, and a sense of calm in my personal journey. She creates a safe, supportive space to grow and thrive. I’m so grateful for her insights and highly recommend her to anyone looking to make meaningful progress in their life!
Nic came in to host wellbeing sessions for our staff and came in over various shifts including a midnight shift. Nic is very engaging and easy to listen to. Her talks were full of common sense and handy hints and tips to lead a better life. We also hosted an introduction to Yoga session to give staff a taster session. I would highly recommend Nic as a great motivational speaker for your staff sessions. Nic can also host other sessions on various topics.
I contacted Nic as my mood was low, was feeling 'stuck' and not looking forward to the future. As well as offering lots of good ideas, Nic gently helped me to explore my thoughts and feelings and the reasons why I came to be where I am. I had three sessions with Nic and even before the last session I was feeling very positive, energised and looking forward to the future. Definitely life changing!
Nic is wholehearted, professional and utterly committed to what she does. A highly effective and impactful communicator, I’ve worked with her for several years and can’t praise her highly enough, as a profesional, a coach and as all round great human being!
I was really apprehensive before meeting with Nic but she is honestly amazing. She has such a gentle and compassionate approach but can still challenge you in the right way. So glad that I made the decision to do some coaching sessions with Nic, wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Nichola is now a regular in our office, coming in every 2 weeks for a lunch time yoga session. She is brilliant! Customising each class to our needs and the different levels of our team, plus always ensuring we leave the session feeling relaxed and ready to attack the day. Total professional, couldn't recommend her enough!
Highly recommend Nic she is super amazing. She has an amazing talent of quickly connecting with you, understanding how you feel, what you need and she works with you to help you discover and learn new tools so that you can be the best version of yourself. If you want to invest in your mental health, wellbeing or you just want to feel super amazing, then book in for some sessions.
Through 1:1 sessions with Nic i have worked through many issues stopping me enjoying life, still work to do but Nic is amazing at her work and i felt i built a great connection and trust with her. Definitely highly recommend.
Nic provided an amazing session at our shared offices, and the feedback from our members was fantastic! We will definitely be booking Nic again for some events across our portfolio of shared office spaces! Thank you again!
Nic created a safe environment where I was able to challenge my situation and uncover new ways of thinking. Would highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Nic highly enough. As a coach and mentor she has helped me understand myself and my motivations and enabled me to have the confidence and clarity to move forward with my life, after feeling stuck and overwhelmed for so long. Nic is a compassionate, wise and knowledgeable guide and she did so much thinking about how to help me between sessions which meant that each session was focussed and productive. If I could, I would have a podcast of Nic to take with me everywhere I go.
I read an article in the Scotsman magazine that prompted me to start a small journey of self discovery on a weekend away that Nic had organised. The fact that she speaks from experience creates sincerity and authenticity and since meeting her, I've come to completely trust her; her advice is always relevant and tailored to you, and there's never any judgement, just questions designed to make you thing, and encouragement. She is also good at subtly holding you to account which, in my case, is necessary!
Nic was a total dream and I cannnot reccomend her enough. Session one was full of concrete tips that have now become integrated into my day when I get overwhelmed or anxious. Session two was responsive to my needs and helped me figure out some big patterns of my thinking that I could work on. Session three was the biggy though - honed in on something that I didn't even know I needed. Her approach is kind and compassionate but full of actual ways to help and see things differently. Wasn't sure if I should have booked 1 or 3, and I should have booked 5! I will absolutely be working with Nic again - she's like a massage for the soul!
If you have been to therapy before and it’s not really helped or you didn’t get much from it, try speaking to Nic. It’s a completely different experience. Rather than just sitting there nodding, she actually works with you to make you the best version of yourself. When I signed up for 8 sessions I felt so miserable, verging on hopeless. Nic told me that I would feel completely different at the end of the programme. I didn’t really believe her. How wrong was I?! Of course there are still areas to work on but I feel like I’ve got my life back. I would encourage anyone reading this who is thinking about reaching out to just do it and have that initial chat. I’m so, so glad I did.
Nichola, was just absolutely incredible. She guided me through so many hard decisions I was making in my life and has made such an impact on how I go about making life changing decisions. Plus she is just so lovely as a person. Highly recommend
I wish there were more stars - Nic is most definitely more than a 5 star review! It's true people come into your life just when you need them - Nic came into my life because she is what I needed; the universe was looking after me. Nic is professional, thoughtful, compassionate with an amazing ability to guide you through a conversation that gives you insight and strength. The impact of the session and her thought provoking questions hit me a day or two later; the feeling of greater understanding and awareness is just lovely. Thank you for being in my life and supporting me through such a personal journey. Forever grateful.
I asked Nic to help design a fresh approach to wellbeing for our staff. To help us understand how to live our best lives, bring our whole selves to work, and ensure our resilience. She listened to what l thought, designed a survey to get staff feedback, and designed a program for us. Nic and James are friendly and approachable, with lots of interesting experience and expertise that they can bring to live all the subjects and show how to make a difference. I recommend it to anyone. It's great to have self-awareness and understand what you can control and can't and how you can make a difference to yourself.
So pleased to have done the Sessions with Nic. So many valuable moments of advice, pointers, techniques and tools given to me, each and every one excellent, giving more insight, understanding and learning, enabling me to move forward. From the first Session Nic, listened, observed and saw clearly, she just got what was going on and what to do to help. Thank you Nic
Nic ran 3 sessions/workshops with my team and we found it very beneficial. Nic is knowledgeable and great at communicating. The team have managed to implement many of the tools we covered and it has positively impacted our day to day work. Thank you Nic 🙂
One of the best coaches around with the most calming voice and authentic ethic, so happy we have worked together!
Working with Nic has been amazing. She has taught me tools that I have used and continue to use, gave me other ways of thinking and helped me to heal and grow as a person. Which has helped my relationship. I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend. 💕
Everything happens for a reason... Very grateful for meeting Nic and having 1-2-1 coaching with her after a difficult life event which left me feeling stuck in a rut and overwhelmed with negative thoughts and my confidence at an all time low. Nic listened without judgement and provided me with the tools to move forward, every day since has been progress and I am smiling again and actually realise my worth. If your considering coaching, I highly recommend Nic, she will definitely be able to help you. I am looking forward to being able to attend a retreat experience in the future and meeting her face to face one day to say Thank You and also to experience the retreat which looks amazing and can only benefit me more on my self development journey 🙂
I had a session with Nic and she made a huge difference to my understanding of how I need to move forward and what I need to do to get to where I want to be. Nic is extremely personable and easy to talk to. She put me at ease, really listened to my questions and had sound knowledge and advice for me. I would 100% recommend Nic for any of your Coaching needs.
I first met Nic at a retreat in Loch Lomond at the end of 2022. Since then, I had a one to one call with her where we discussed different strategies to cope with certain anxieties I had. She was very reassuring and helped me frame certain issues more positively, helping to shed light on a new perspective and whenever I begin to feel a bit down or overwhelmed, I think back to what we discussed and put it into action. Nic makes moving forward feel like a very real and achievable possibility when before it felt unattainable. She creates a safe space for you to talk about how you feel which can be very difficult to do but it felt so much easier with Nic. She is warm, a great listener, incredibly passionate and a wonderful person. Thank you Nic! 🤍
Gavin and I have been on two retreats with Nic to date and participated in several online workshops. Nic is an inspiration and instinctively tunes into your needs - calmly giving you the tools to work through whatever challenges you are facing. Her friendly positive outlook is infectious and you’ll never regret time spent with her. We only wished we lived nearer. X
Nic is very inspiring. This workshop made me think about my purpose, and I inspired my daughter and motivated her at a difficult time .
Very good experience with Nic. Had 6 x 30 min sessions which were very helpful and helped me gain clarity on the issues I was looking to solve. Wouldn't hesitate to use Nic again in the future.
Nic is always so inspiring, knowledgeable and passionate about her subjects. I felt so uplifted and energised from this session and am putting the ideas into action already 😅
I recently attended one of Nics online coaching sessions, i knew I was going to learn something after attending a couple of her retreats last year, I really didn’t know what to expect though from this session, but what I can say is that yet again I was surprised at how much I learned about myself and why I am the way I am and do the things I do, she gave us tools to work through to understand the why and to allow my personal “journey” to continue, I can’t tell you how at peace I feel as a person and how calm I feel within myself now, thank you Nic 🙏🏻❤️
I met Nic and the rest of rhe team last year on a day retreat. The vibe I got from.them all was great and I felt safe and listened to. By chance I ended up going to two of the weekend retreats, and I can honestly say my life has changed for the better. Nic has taught me to love myself and not be so hard on myself. I love taking part in online coaching sessions and meeting the team in person. Would highly recommend to everyone
Nic is the best! I always looked forward to my coaching sessions. She took time to listen to my challenges and offered lots of good tips and tools to help me learn and progress. I finished a run of sessions feeling more aware of and confident in who I am.
Kind, compassionate and sensitive to each individual's journey, Nic teaches the skills to move forward positively!
If you are thinking about going to a coach then look no further! Nic is probably everything you would want from a coach. Compassionate, empathetic, great listener and then full of pearls of wisdom. Do it, you won't regret it!
I came across Nic while doing the Midlife Reset and thoroughly enjoyed the group sessions with her. Something she said totally resonanted with me and I craved some one to one time to dig deeper. She is warm, generous, insightful and commited to helping you grow and develop.
When I started my sessions with Nic I was a bit of a lost soul. I had lost my identity and didn't know what I wanted from life. I was constantly putting everyone else first I couldn't remember what made me happy. Nic very soon put me at my ease and helped me feel comfortable talking about uncomfortable topics. It is like to talking to an old friend and nothing is out of bounds. A weight has been lifted and I feel so much better and able to put myself first again (sometimes)!
I found Nic at the right time, I was at a complete cross roads in my life and had really major decisions to make. She helped guide me in understanding how to process these decisions and breaking each subject down into manageable pieces. I have also been to a retreat where I found genuine inner peace and forgiveness, it was such an emotional journey and one that still felt like an enlightenment in my life.
Nic is an absolute delight to work with, her approach is so refreshing and she intuitively knew exactly what I needed. I came to Nic when I was struggling to tune in to my life purpose, I felt lost and overwhelmed by indecision. Nic lead me through a beautufil and powerful visualisation practice that helped me to reorganise the clutter of thoughts and ideas I was experiencing. By the end of our session I felt much clearer and much more positive about what I wanted to do and which direction I wanted to head in. I have since attended one of her weekend retreats which was life changing. I highly recommend Nic, she is a wonderful coach and a warm, friendly person with a big heart.
"I’ve had sessions with Nic for various subjects and every session has helped massively. My favourite are the visualisation techniques Nic uses, it has helped me deal with long term challenges and has really helped. Also hypnotherapy is amazing, it’s so interesting to have not only your mind react to thoughts and feelings but I experienced physical reactions too!" Incredible! (Anon)

I spent 56 years cruising through life - loving home life, good friends, successful career behind me and suddenly discovered that I was a lost soul! I had quite literally become an angry, frustrated old woman who hid behind a facade of well-being and happiness!! On the outside, I was a happy-go-lucky joker and on the inside, I was shriveling up. Thankfully I found Nic through one of her day retreats - apart from having a great day, she seemed to me to be a person that I could open up to and after a few emails, in which I identified what was ailing me, signed up to a 12-week coaching programme. If I’m honest, I have no idea what I expected or was even looking for! It was tough to start with! I don’t naturally talk about my feelings - but once I got started I grasped it with both hands and couldn’t believe it when suddenly the sessions had passed in a flash and we hadn’t really talked about what I thought I wanted to ……. because it turns out that wasn’t even what was wrong!! Who knew! Nic believed in me, was patient with me, guided me where I needed to go and caught me when I faltered. I didn’t know I had lost myself until Nic brought me back …. my journey is far from over though - I now have a great toolbox to navigate the future and am looking forward to future retreats. Oh, and my partner says I am a changed person - back to the one she fell in love with!! Namaste Nic x (JM, East Lothian)

Good morning Nichola, I want to thank you for yesterday. I do not find being quiet and meditation easy. I woke up this morning just “getting” the whole thing about what I am thinking is not who I am. Stunning knowledge. Every time I find myself becoming freer. I have a very busy few weeks with my daughter having surgery and the family coming to live here. With all that I hope to try and cut out time for being still and quiet! I am looking forward to the day you make a series of your fantastic teaching which is life changing. Or a book. Thank you so much again. (Anon)

I wanted to say that the mindset workshop with Nic last night was life changingly brilliant. It has made me think so differently about my habits and my approach to my body. I nearly cried! It really hit a chord with me. I feel like hopefully this will end the awful battle with yo yo dieting and the bad relationship with food and my body. I know it’s not over yet! (Natasha)
I can’t recommend Nic enough, I felt instantly at ease and so comfortable being guided through some hard questions. This process has helped me not only understand myself better but has given me practical tools to support me in achieving my goals. Definitely one of the best investments I have made. (Leeanne)

Nic - thank you so much for your lovely inspiring words and your constant attendance to our needs, always with a huge smile. Your own story and the many anecdotes you shared brought it all to life. (Tara)
"Nic has encouraged me to think about questions that I had been putting off asking myself for many years. Through her direction, I was able to reset my goals in life, prioritising the things that matter most to me and have a clear idea about what I would like to achieve. I highly recommend you work with Nic to help you reset your goals too, especially after a year where we have been reminded that life is precious." (Anon)

Nic’s talks on mindset were relaxed but oh so informative - and unlocked emotion in several of us - so powerful. (Pippa)
I first met Nic at a day retreat and then started working with her on a one-to-one basis. I’ve had a really tough time recently and really felt like I had lost my identity. Nic really seemed to get this and we have been working together to “get my light and spark back”. I have now been on 2 day retreats and number 3 is booked. I can’t recommend Nic enough she is a very special person. (Katy Quail)
I met Nic through The Midlife Reset platform and boy am I glad I did. Her positive energy, self-belief, and guidance has been invaluable to me and my mindset in relation to food and other issues in my life. She gives such a personal approach and makes every effort to get to know ‘how you tick’. On top of all that, she has a calming voice with a beautiful Scottish lilt I absolutely recommend Nic and her coaching ability to anyone needing some form of reset in their lives. (Julie Peet)
I contacted Nic first for nutritional info due to a terminal illness diagnosis. I was totally lost and felt so alone. Within the first ten minutes of speaking to her I not only gained nutritional info but tips on how to handle the many challenges I faced. Thanks to Nic and her team, a year later and after attending both a weekend retreat and day session, phone calls and meet ups, my outlook on the future has changed. I now class Nic as a close friend who I know will help whenever I need her. I have already referred her to friends who were looking to refocus and get back on a good track. I’m so glad I found her. (Joanne Ferguson)
Nic has helped me so much and I can’t thank her enough. I first met Nic at one of the amazing retreats and the things that her and the team have taught me have been life changing. I reached out to Nic after the retreat as I was struggling with some things and she went out of her way to help me and give me advice. The advice Nic gave me helped me make changes to better myself and also made me a better mum and wife to my family. Thank you again Nic, hopefully see you soon. (Brogan O'Neill)
As an aspiring life coach, Nic has helped remove the feeling of being overwhelmed at the thought of where to start whilst starting up by own life coaching practice and has more importantly helped me enjoy the process along the way . I have achieved more in the last two months working with Nic than I had imagined . Thank you Nic 🙂 x (Hayley Black)
Nic contacted me to offer some wellbeing groups to the staff at CHAS. She had understood the need for wellbeing support for the staff that have struggled to continue to work through the pandemic. Nic listened and created a wellbeing group that suited the staffs needs. the feedback from the group was all very positive. I have also attended a couple of the wellbeing groups in my own time and have found them really helpful and fun. I like the approach of the group as it is relaxed and fun. you feel like you are there with friends and helps you feel open to talk. (Eilidh Grant)
"After suffering for years with misophonia I decided to opt for some NLP. Nichola brought not only a warmth, she instantly made me feel so calm and comfortable. Her soothing yet concise approach made me feel very reassured. Nichola kept me at ease by explaining all that was going to happen and what to expect. The session was very relaxing and afterwards I felt quite optimistic and positive after just spending time in Nichola’s “Virtual” presence via zoom. It was the days and weeks post-session that my partner made me aware that I wasn’t as grumpy around him when he was eating and breathing and to my astonishment, I realised that the NLP had helped dramatically reduced my issue after only one session! Thank you Nic and I look forward to our next 1-1."
I was in a situation where I had an appraisal meeting coming up. Before the meeting, I lost sleep, came up with all these negative scenarios, and imagined arguments unfolding. I was driving my car and I had what can only be described as a light bulb moment! From our session, I realised I was making a false sense of reality and using this to protect myself from the unknown. I then began to think more logically and focused on previous positive feedback from colleagues & patients. When the meeting happened I was calm & collected and to my delight had a rave review from both my practice assessor and mentor. It was a real game changer! (Louise)
Nic - thank you so much for your lovely inspiring words and your constant attendance to my needs, always with a huge smile. Your own story and the many anecdotes you shared brought it all to life. (Tara)
Nic’s profound wellness and mindfulness tips were game-changers. (Gavin)
Just listened to the Meditation and I feel so grounded and centred. Going through the colours and the meaning of the chakras gave me some super insights of myself. Thank you so much. X (Sheena)
Nic was the best person I've ever experienced leading a meditation!! And that is a fact, including a buddhist monk in Colarado when I was there with Hayden, Nic was superior (for me anyway) I was virtually floating during her session x (Lynda)
Nic is amazing! So inspirational and really helped me face some personal issues that I am continuing to work on. Passionate and she draws from her own life experience so really resonates & understands. Highly recommend. (Stacy)
