Hi, I'm Nikkie.
What I Do
Initially training as a physiotherapist, I spent the early part of my career in healthcare management and became a specialist psychotherapist in ME/CFS after suffering from the condition myself. Trained in a number of different tools including EFT Tapping (which I am an Advanced Practitioner in), these days I simply refer to myself as an body electrician.
Why? Well because our body’s electrical and electromagnetic systems are one of the foundational mechanisms in the body. It is how we produce and utilise our energy, it’s what connects our physiology and our psychology and if ignored, it creates cascading health implications that tend to get more complex as the years go by.
I use EFT (and other psychotherapeutic tools like NLP and hypnosis) in a person centred way to help clients to quite literally ‘tap’ into their body’s healing intuitions via its electrical systems.
Why Work With Me?
Everything I know about disease, distress and bodily dysfunction has been gathered over my entire career, all of which I have spent in various parts of healthcare. The last 10 years have been spent working with, understanding and piecing together the incredibly complex nature of ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and their associated conditions.
Since I know first hand how multi-factorial complex chronic disease is, I approach health as an interconnected web of balanced bioelectricity, biochemistry and biological function.
I work with individuals and their holistic needs and as a result I often work alongside other clinical experts when clients need more than one healthcare practitioner.
Furthermore my clinical experience has shown me that there are some important nuances that come with timing health interventions so I support clients to find the 'correct intervention at the correct time' along the way.
Finally, I use my intricate understanding of health systems to support my clients in navigating often under or overwhelming realities of engaging with more traditional healthcare providers.
What You Can Do...
Principles of health and vitality are the same whether you are you looking to optimise your ability to thrive or make improvements to ill health. And Yet, our health is never more precious to us than when we are faced with its deterioration.

And remember, its normal to be a bit apprehensive, have questions or wish you could do it all by yourself!
