Testimonials
Kind words
Words from people Nicki has worked with, quoted as they wrote them.
To confirm with Nicki: These are short, verbatim excerpts. The full testimonials describe health outcomes (back pain, depression, fertility, injury recovery), which count as claims under the ASA / CAP Code, so they're held below for Nicki to decide which to keep, shorten or retire. Several relate to sports massage and reflexology, which she no longer offers.
“All in all I would recommend CST to anybody and everybody, it will leave you feeling like one whole being with everything connected and working as one system.”
Full testimonial held back: mentions back pain relief, recovery from a broken arm without physiotherapy, injury prevention, depression and anxiety.
Quite simply having CST with Nicki has been the best form of treatment I have ever had both for physical aches, pains and complaints as well as my mental wellbeing. I am an extremely active person running a dance school I am constantly on the move, I also do a fair amount of weight training and intense cardio. I felt that in the 18 months that I was treated by Nicki my body was at its strongest. I have suffered lower back pain from the age of about 20 in turn this can often lead to pain in the legs. With CST I felt all these aches go away. During the time I was treated by Nicki I broke my arm. I had a cast on for 4 weeks post the break I had NO physiotherapy or treatment other than CST, this was 12 months ago and I have had no pain, strain or any complaints since. I also pulled my calf muscle running in February 2016, with CST I was back running within a week and again there has been no pain or problems with the calf since then. I personally feel that CST has made my body more resilient to injury. I feel that the body is more aware of itself allowing small adjustments constantly rather than having to recover from injury. In other words it is very much a preventative treatment. I have been a long term sufferer of depression, which first started when I was around 17. I have had conventional treatment anti depressants as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. What I found cranio gave me was the ability to cope. It took regular sessions over about 4 months for me to really notice the difference, my anxiety levels are lower than they have ever been. I felt centred and in control of any situations which may normal cause high levels of stress, anxiety and panic. The entire time that I was having treatment I feel my moods were incredible level, the extreme ups and downs I have suffered in the past were not there. All in all I would recommend CST to anybody and everybody, it will leave you feeling like one whole being with everything connected and working as one system.
“Professional and friendly at every session, she always asks the right questions…”
Full testimonial held back: mentions treating severe back pain, from housebound to normal activities.
Nicki has been invaluable in helping me treat and manage my severe back pain over the last 6 months. Professional and friendly at every session, she always asks the right questions to make the treatment as relevant to me, my condition and my level of pain as possible. Thanks to her I've gone from being in effect, housebound and barely able to work, to normal day to day activities
“If you are looking for a well balanced and inspiring therapist with a holistic approach – look no further you have found her!”
Full testimonial held back: mentions conception after reflexology and craniosacral therapy (fertility claim), reflexology is no longer offered.
I first tried Nicki because I wanted some TLC. As a working mother with a 4 year old toddler Reflexology was a treat. But then I started feeling and seeing the impact of the treatment and was hooked. We tried for 18 months to fall pregnant and with Nicki's holistic approach to everything in life I tried Craniosacral Therapy with the Reflexology. I am convinced that led us to being able to conceive our second child. If you are looking for a well balanced and inspiring therapist with a holistic approach – look no further you have found her!
“The big change for me came when Nicki introduced me to craniosacral therapy. At first it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was happening… Nicki is incredible at what she does and no matter how short my visit back to Scotland I always make time to get at least one or 2 sessions in with her.”
Full testimonial held back: mentions sports massage (no longer offered), injury-free (prevention claim), energy levels.
I was first lucky enough to work with Nicki for my weekly sports massage. Training around 15 hours a week, a mixture of weightlifting, gymnastics and cardiovascular training, she was an essential part of my regime to keep the muscles fresh and mobile to attack each week & remain injury free. The big change for me came when Nicki introduced me to craniosacral therapy. At first it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was happening but slowly, after consistent sessions, I noticed a difference in my energy levels and a massive decrease in my reliance on coffee. Nicki is incredible at what she does and no matter how short my visit back to Scotland I always make time to get at least one or 2 sessions in with her.
