About little and old me 

Nicola was born in 1965 which in itself says a lot about her upbringing! But she is not going to bore you with her history, but yes like most human beings there was suffering along the way that would inevitably create some emotional and physical dis-ease which would ultimately lead her back Home to Her SeLf. She spent her early years in Kenya,Tokyo returned to the Uk and then spent a year in France before starting work in the City of London .

 

As a child she saw spirit, had out of body experiences and picked up energy from people and places. She found this frightening and overwhelming and as if she didn't belong. Inevitably her homelife and these experiences had an impact on her persona and her sense of self. She became beyond shy. 

​

Despite a sense that there was something she was called to do, a higher purpose so to speak and a natural ability to comfort and help people. Nicola followed the path expected and conditioned into her. She toughened up and created an ego identity that was capable of navigating the financial sector of the Insurance world, got married and started a family. Tick, tick, every box ticked.

​

During her thirties despite her faith, family and friends, she realised there was something deeply missing inside her. She often had an overwhelming feeling of emptiness and sadness. Everything seemed lifeless, even the leaves on the trees appeared less green than when she was a small child. She felt totally disconnected.

 

Then in 2012 Divine intervention started to navigate her back to her Truth. Panic attacks,  stress and a deep knowing that something needed to change or she would become seriously ill made her re-evaluate her life, not to mention being told she was a borderline alcoholic when assessed for a fibroid operation. She moved the family out of London and decided to leave city life and sign up for a psychology degree so she could do something more meaningful with her life and help people. 

 

However, the psychology degree never happened. The Universe, God, Divinity or whatever you choose to call the light of Love that is our Creator and very Essence. Decided it was time for her to reopen the spooky spiritual door. Suddenly she was bombarded with spiritual experiences and became aware of a Guide. This Guide would not communicate directly with her for many years but she could see and sense them and it was this awareness that led her to start meditating. This Guide was clearly dropping a few breadcrumbs her way and so she felt compelled to find answers about not only why she was feeling and seeing and knowing things she apparently shouldn't But Who? What? Why? was the Universe? God ? and pretty much everything. What was life about? Not least of all because her family were beginning to think she had gone crazy and in fact so did she. She set about learning all she could including whether there was a science behind these experiences. There had to be more to this thing called life. Since then her, outlook, relationships and health started to take on a whole new dimension. A sense of revival.​ She was sent many challenges and a little sprinkling of the magical to keep her on track. Each experience brought her closer to the answers she was seeking.

 

She set about trying to understand what she was meant to do with these sensitivities to energy. She asked for guidance and as if by magic a two day Energy healing course showed up in her local village. It was this that showed her the way. The instant her hands hovered over another student she felt a surge of energy. It filled her from top to bottom with warmth and happiness. She had never experienced anything like it. She realised it must be Joy. Her Guides gave her a huge gift that day because it would take many years before she would feel joy like that again. But it was the catalyst to a long journey of learning. She knew she had come home and a year later the seeds of IKIGAI began to take root and through her training, connection with clients and her guides she went through a beautiful 7 year transformation and growth.

 

Then in 2019 she was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. She was utterly confused. How could she, a healer who had found her path, end up a cripple and unable to help people. Surely there must be a reason she was having this experience. She resolved to see this as an opportunity to put into practise what she believed in. The Self healing, Meditation, Manifesting, she also visited various other healers, tried Bach Flower remedies, shamanic journeying, past life regression. Just about everything and then one morning whilst in the state between sleep and becoming conscious she heard a voice yelling at her " The Journey"  and saw a vision of a book flying towards her. She flung herself out of bed and ran to her practice room . She knew she had bought this book by Brandon Bays but not read it yet. It was this that began her understanding of acceptance and inner work which her guides would show her how to cultivate in order to help others. Then straight after that a friend said that her guide had told her she needed to read " Will I Ever Be Good Enough" by Dr Karyl McBride. Ureka! the golden nugget. The key to the reason for this Dis-Ease within her. This was when to her horror she realised all the pain she carried inside her, the disconnect, the desperate desire to feel needed etc etc was not uncommon and she realised that Narcassism wasn't someone who was very vain but something deeply more tragic and sinister. 

 

Months had passed and Nicola was advised she had a doctors appointment to discuss the medication she would need. Something she had already resolved she would not be taking ( Not that people shouldn't take medication she just didn't feel it was for her as she truly believed her body could itself. She went to the appointment with a handful of positive thoughts and a vision of health. She sat there for about forty minutes undergoing various tests and then the doctor looked up puzzled and announced that she didn't have Rheumatoid Arthritis. So did they make a mistake ? Or did she heal herself during that 5 month lead up to the appointment with everything she had learnt from Brandon Bays, Joe Dispenza and the like and from the meditation and self healing work she undertook in earnest to release the anger in her body? Who knows. But she is grateful for not only the fact that she now bounces out of bed in the mornings rather than hobble around and she can sit in the cinema and watch a movie without being in pain but more importantly she continued to learn about what other shadows lurked deep inside her and how to release the anger and pain inside and to observe the triggers in the moment as a reminder of what no longer serves her. Not that she has it all worked out. Far from it. But this healing journey showed her that those that come to her for help first and foremost can benefit from her ability to feel see and know the root cause of their issues . Because you can't fix it if you don't know what it is you need to fix. So which ever way you look it, she is very grateful for the diagnosis of this serious condition, which allowed her to experience the Journey of healing first hand and that you can't change your situation until you know what it is that lurks in the shadows.

​

Nicola continues to be curious and open minded. She is no longer on a quest for answers as the more that is offered and revealed to her the more she interprets this as there are no firm yes or no answers or wrong or right ways when it comes to the multiverse which continually expands and evolves as do we and Divine Source Intelligence which is omnipotent has a wicked sense of humour. 

​

Nicola's journey has indeed revealed that Divine source has no limits. It simply brings you home to what you need or choose for yourself and she has immersed herself over the years into an ever unfolding experience of wonder gifted to her by her often brave and extraordinary clients, guides and her own physical and emotional healing journey​

​

Within this multidimensional energetic communion she has chosen to surrender and accept things that she once would have deemed crazy or impossible

 

In 2001 Nicola would never have admitted to being made aware of Karmic release work, past life energy retrieval and altered states of reality by Higher vibrational Beings who wish to assist Humanity or to Dragon energy, Light Codes or any other manner of strange and wonderful frequencies that engage with her within her work for fear of ridicule even as a healer on a spiritual path. Now she just enjoys the ride and shares the joy of revelation/

​

As well as an Energy alchemist and Conscious trance channel
