Niki’s background in all things calm and blissful…

Hi, my name is Niki and I’m a clinical yoga and massage therapist.

Helping others is what I am really passionate about. I have been mentored and working in a private physiotherapy practice since 2015 where I do massage, teach yoga and rehab exercise, and collaborate with physios on a daily basis.

I am particularly interested in helping people with chronic pain as well as injury rehabilitation. Combined with my experience at the physio practice I have also done training in trauma, chronic pain and pain management.

I have lots of experience working with all ages and abilities – I have worked with 18-month-olds to 89 years old. All sessions are bespoke and are created around what is best for you and your body.

I have recently had my own little bubba so have a great understanding about pregnancy and breastfeeding aches, pains and postural issues.

A bit more about my yoga & massage styles

My massage style is calming and soothing and the massage pressure is always up to you. If there is a specific injury, tension or pain some deeper tissue work may need to be done if you are up for it. We can also incorporate some gentle assisted stretches during or after the massage if it’s indicated.

My yoga style is relaxed, fun and focuses on flexibility, core strength, balance and relaxation through movement. Classes also feature breath-work exercises (pranayama), mindfulness and meditation techniques and relaxation.
