Hi, I’m Nicole…..

and I’m honestly thrilled to have you here. I am passionate about working with families to help them restore a little balance into their insanely stressful lives. As a mother of two, one of whom is neurodiverse, I understand how overwhelming parenting can be.

My personal journey began after the birth of my first child, 15 years ago. By the time he was around 1 year old, I sensed something was different. While friends and family reassured me that “all kids develop at different rates,” I felt deep down that there was more to it.

After moving to Sydney in 2015, we spent three years consulting various specialists—paediatricians, speech therapists, occupational therapists, naturopaths, and more. Each one had different recommendations, from medications to dietary changes and therapies. It was so overwhelming trying to figure out where to start and what was working. Having spent 2 decades in the corporate world, I was used to solving big issues all the time but this new “neurodiverse challenge” left me feeling frustrated and helpless.

Then, I discovered kinesiology. Initially sceptical, I quickly realized its potential. After only a single session, my son, who hadn’t slept in his own bed for over a year, due to anxiety, returned to his bedroom and has stayed there ever since. Kinesiology not only helped him, but it also made a huge difference in my own health too. I was stuggling with severe fatigue and we discovered not only a biochemical reason but an emotional issue contributing to this too. Having discovered Kinesiology, I decided to leave the corporate world and pursue this path full-time. The most rewarding part about this work is hearing from clients about the positive shifts in their lives.

I’ve also sinced trained as a Nervous System practitioner, focusing on assessing and the rehabilitation of the human nervous system. This work is really transformational.

If you’re not sure where to start with your own journey or are looking for help for a child in your life, I’d love to chat and help find the right path for you.

Cheers,

Nic

As a parent of a neurodivergent child,

I made the decision to leave a successful corporate role to pursue a career in Kinesiology. It was only through Kinesiology that I was finally able to find answers that made sense to support my family. Being a parent is hard enough but neurodiversity adds many more layers of challenges. Kinesiology has helped tremendously with our journey.

A Bit More About Me Outside of Kinesiology

I was born in Africa and have lived in Australia for over 25 years. I also spent 10 years living and working in Asia, where my children were born. I absolutely love animals. Especially hippos, dogs and bees. While I don’t have any pet hippos, I do have dogs, cows, and bees. I’m a big fan of exercise, having spent years in obstacle course racing, and I love being in nature, whether in the ocean or on a forest walk. Most of all, I love hearing children laugh—it’s the best sound in the world, and I’d love to help bring more laughter into your home.

Testimonials

“I’m the first to admit that I was a little skeptical about whether Kinesiology could help me. A friend recommended I try it having had an incredible experience with it herself, but I didn’t entirely understand what it was, or how it worked. However, I was feeling stressed and frayed enough to be open to giving it a go and I am so happy that I did. After just one session with Nicole, I felt so calm and rested, like I’d had the most restorative sleep – and this happens every time I see her. She’s an amazing therapist: patient, insightful, and highly skilled, she genuinely cares about helping me get to the root of what’s most important to me, then building from there. I’m still not sure I fully understand how Kinesiology does what it does, but it’s been transformative for me, and I now consider my appointments with Nicole to be as fundamental to my wellbeing as any visit to a doctor. Thanks, Nicole!”

“I saw Nic a number of times about a year ago when I was going through a difficult period, and found the sessions incredibly healing. I am not the kind of person who generally seeks out alternative therapies, but I was intrigued by the clarity of mind I had after my sessions with her. I don’t necessarily understand how Kinesiology helped me achieve some of those insights, but I certainly welcomed them! I would absolutely recommend Nic to anyone looking for help/strategies/answers when feeling stuck or generally in a not-so-good-place.”

“I have had the privilege of stepping into Nicole’s serene office for a few kinesiology sessions now. I knew from the first session that this was going to be an experience unlike any other. Nicole’s approach is a beautiful blend of intuition and science. With gentle movements, she has guided me to tap into the wisdom hidden within my own body.

What truly amazed me was Nicole’s ability to connect emotional states to physical well-being. She was able to identify patterns I hadn’t even realized existed.”

“I have attended multiple sessions with Nicole. As a therapist she is thorough, intuitive and most of all, kind. She made me feel comfortable and safe while also helping me work through many things that just were not serving me. In one of the sessions we focused on my left hand/right hand integration. I am so pleased to say that ever since our session it has stuck!! I no longer get flustered with left/right and I am so happy with my results. I look forward to more sessions in the future with Nicole!”
