Nicki was bought up in the English
countryside on a small farm. She worked closely with many different
farm animals and rode horses since she was two years old.
She trained as a Physiotherapist in
London, England, receiving a BSc(Hons) Physiotherapy degree. Working
in the National Health Service for three years meant she was exposed
to all aspects of Western Medicine. This was followed by working in an
elite Sports Injury Clinic in West London.
During this time Nicki studied
extensively various Physiotherapy and Osteopathic techniques
including: Cranial Osteopathy; CranioSacral; SomatoEmotional Release;
Visceral; Lymphatics; Muscle Imbalance; Mechanical Link; Myofascial
Release; Muscle Energy; Spinal Manipulation; Neural Release; Maitland;
McKenzie and McConnell amongst others. For five years Nicki worked
with Manual Therapy Seminars of Colorado and The Upledger Institute
assisting their courses throughout Britain and the USA.
In 2000 Nicki started to learn the
BodyTalk system and has taken the first 9 modules numerous times along
with Parama in 2004. Having taken some time off for a young family she
is now studying Parama College. Nicki has also studied CranioSacral
Therapy for Horses, Cats and Dogs along with BodyTalk for Animals and
PlantTalk. She is a Reiki Master.
Before moving to the USA in 2001, Nicki
trained intensively as a Modern Pentathlete competing for Great
Britain at Olympic level. She was selected as the Pentathlon team
Physiotherapist for Europeans, Worlds and Sydney 2000 Olympics and the
Equestrian Paralympic Games. She was also the on-site Physiotherapist
for the elite athletes at the London Marathon and Women’s World ˝
Marathon Championships. Nicki wrote articles for the London Marathon
Magazine, amongst others, for several years on Sports Injuries.
Now in the USA, Nicki’s focus has changed
to BodyTalk but she uses her other skills in Integrated BodyWork
sessions when indicated. She also has a strong and successful remote
BodyTalk client base including many animals.
In 2010 Nicki is coordinating and
co-facilitating her own classes combining BodyTalk, Horse Wisdom
(including individual sessions with horses), group sessions and
self-inquiry to enable people to identify their issues and limiting
beliefs, and move on to a place of freedom. Please call for
