About Resilience Coaching Sessions
Resilience Coaching empowers you to respond to life in a more resilient way. It involves focusing on an area of your life that you feel you are not thriving in or coping your best with. Perhaps an event or circumstance is still negatively effecting you, or you have been unable to fully bounce back yet? Resilience Coaching will zone in on what is negatively impacting your sense of resilience, and you'll end the session with resources to help you get back on track. Often one session is all that is needed. You will become more aware of your strengths, how to better utilise them, and how to develop new strengths.
Business owners/entrepreneurs can explore where their business or venture needs to be more resilient. Parents can develop better coping skills, or gain insight into practical tools for helping their child to develop more resilience. Students can hone in on what they need more or less of, to cope well with the stressors of study life. If you are not coping with a certain relationship, you can get to the heart and truth of the issue and finally start to resolve this.

About Trauma Healing Sessions
Following a traumatic experience that we have not been able to reconcile and / or integrate, the body unconsciously creates and then holds on to various disempowering programs, unresolved emotions, and congestion in the nervous system and various energy systems in our body. Trauma effects us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - and can be fully resolved by healing each of these aspects. Toward the end of this process, there does need to be a decision made that you are ready to put the experience behind you. Sometimes it will take some time and effort to get to this point, but not always.
Trauma Healing with Nicki is gentle, precise, effective and moves at a rate that you are most comfortable with. Trauma healing is essentially liberating and allows you to let go of what needs to be let go of on a conscious and unconscious level. Nicki uses a method that draws from Holistic Counselling, Kinesiology, NLP and Energy Psychology called Inner Wisdom Method. Nicki created the Inner Wisdom Method after many years of research, training, working with clients, self-healing and wanting to holistically and completely resolve the multi-layered consequences of experiencing and living with unresolved trauma.
There are seven essential elements required to completely resolve trauma and put in the past where it can no longer have a negative effect on you;
1. Recognise and accept that a trauma has been experienced.
2. Make the decision to take steps and responsibility for facing the trauma head on and working on the goal of resolving it.
3. Resolve any beliefs around it not being possible to heal from the trauma.
4. Learn to or commit to developing trust that you can find the exact resources and people that you need and are right for you to work on the process of resolving the trauma.
5. Learn how to feel completely safe again and trust again, and achieve this by completely resolving all annihilating, disempowering and devaluing programs that were created in relation to safety and the experience of the trauma
6. Resolve and completely let go of all unresolved emotions and beliefs that relate to the trauma and are causing denial, self-destructive habits or patterns, resistance to healthy connection to life, yourself, your family, your community and your sense of purpose and the magic of life
7. Deciding that you are ready to, and then choosing to working on the process of completely putting the trauma in the past, accepted and resolved. This often involves honest acceptance, perhaps forgiveness, and deciding what you will do with your newfound energy and lease on life now that you are free from the heaviness, low self worth, distrust, pain, shame, guilt, blame, grief, anger, frustration, rage, disbelief, insomnia, and disempowering or debilitating symptoms that the trauma created
Traumatic experiences often go unrecognised in modern culture. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self worth, low motivation, weight problems, chronic immune problems, insomnia or low energy, often the root cause of these can be unresolved trauma. It is human to have experiences that are overwhelming, disempowering, distressing, and remain unresolved. There is no true stigma, but rather it is an aspect of being human that we all experience.
About Kinesiology Sessions
Kinesiology sessions can help with anything within you or within your life that you know is out of balance. Using Inner Wisdom Method and the Kinesiology technique of muscle monitoring you can discover what specifically is causing the imbalance and what will help to recreate balance. You can work on issues relating to weight, money, relationships, sleep, career, family, business, infertility, wellbeing, work/life/family balance, anxiety, depression, life purpose and much more.
Nicki's Kinesiology Sessions involve using her Inner Wisdom Method, which is drawn from a combination of Kinesiology techniques, Traditional Chinese Law Of Five Elements, Holistic Counselling, Food As Medicine, the Meridian, Vessel and Acupuncture system, NLP inspired techniques, and much more. Kinesiology Sessions help to resolve imbalances caused by trauma, lifestyle, nutrition, disempowering beliefs/programs, phobias, immune reactivity/hypoactivity, and unique stress and patterns and programs.
A main goal in these sessions is to eliminate disempowering programs that you are running, and replace these with empowering ones. A simultaneous aim is to holistically resolve any other relevant hormonal, energetic, toxicity, unresolved emotion, manifestation, structural, stress, creative, work/life/family imbalances that need addressing, while also determining what is required by the body, mind, spirit and soul in order to return to balance.
Client Testimonials
" I was really struggling with a difficult dynamic with my daughters, and felt overwhelmed and felt I'd lost contact with my values amongst all of the stress happening within my family. Nicki was an artful listener, and in one session helped me to realign with my values and get clear on some strategies for facing everything going on in my life ". P.B, Melbourne.
" I have found myself over and over again in bad relationships. It's a pattern I realised I just had to break free from, so I started to see Nicki. I felt quite hopeless at times as I tried to figure out if I could salvage my most recent relationship. It was confusing and lonely, but Nicki helped me to stay true to myself and realise my worth. Thank you Nicki, for helping me to unravel and begin to change this horrible pattern ". A. R. West End, Brisbane.
" I am in the process of transforming my life. My job doesn't satisfy my soul, and I'm doing all I can to be able to leave it and do work that I love. Nicki has helped me to stay optimistic and keep moving forward and hold on to my dream, even when it feels super hard. I also have worked with Nicki on some relationship dramas that are ongoing, and it's helped me to get clearer on what I want and don't want ". K.W, Glenelg, South Australia
" My place of business was ruined in a flood, along with my home. I had a vision to relocate, but a few additional hassles were clouding my thinking and confidence. A few sessions with Nicki helped me to de-frag, vent some of pent up emotion, and get clear again on working toward my vision. I definitely recommend her wonderful services to others ". Sally M, Fig Tree Pocket, Brisbane
" I was referred to Nicki by my GP after the sudden and traumatising death of my partner. I was still very much in shock but knew I wanted to keep my ahead above water while I tried to process my new, unbelievable and distressing reality. Nicki has such empathy and I felt safe sharing all the gritty details of my life. She gave me a few practical ideas to help me get through, and I am grateful I can seek out her support if I need it ". B.D. Toowoomba
" I was struggling with a toxic work environment and I felt I had lost myself and lost connection with my values. After just a few sessions with Nicki I was able to get clarity and a plan for moving forward and for changing my situation. I also was able to come to a level of acceptance with a complex, long term issue I have faced with a family member. Nicki listens deeply, I felt heard and something clicked for me, so that I could move on. I really enjoyed my sessions". S.T. Redcliffe, Brisbane
"I have been working with Nicki for a few months now. I know we still have a lot to work on, but I already feel so much calmer, better. Nicki is honestly such a beautiful human. She radiates serenity and kindness, even over zoom sessions, and she is extremely easy to talk to, to confide in. I know I will be a much improved person after working with Nicki and I am really going to enjoy the journey getting there". - J.T. Murrumba Downs, Brisbane
" Where to start?! I am heading into my third session with Nicki and I honestly can't wait to keep working on myself with her amazing guidance.
Nicki is warm and professional. She balances empathy and healing whilst managing to listen intently and really assist with prioritising what the body is saying.
I am thoroughly enjoying this journey and I trust Nicki to help me discover and overcome any hurdles I face, in order to live the life I deserve and aspire to lead. She helps me feel truly present in moments, both big and small. She is mindful that this can trigger an emotional outpouring - most times involuntarily and is patient throughout the process.
I encourage anyone to contact Nicki and see what it's all about. You won't regret it! ". - A.C. , Brisbane CBD

" I have a goal to start my own business - I'm unhappy in my current work place and have been for some time. I felt a lot of resistance and procrastination toward study, and so felt quite stuck and unable to make any changes to my situation. It turned out that some layers of old trauma were blocking me from being able to think of myself as capable of studying. I was also having some issues with my young son, that again my ability to cope with was being cut off by different unresolved trauma. I had no idea this old stuff was holding me back - I thought I had gotten over it already! I'm now enrolled in a course and can focus on my studies, and I know I will come back to Nicki if more roadblocks show up in my life ". Richard, Townsville Qld.
