Self care: saying no

by Nicky | Oct 9, 2017 | Health and Lifestyle

Today I should be at a seminar all to do with stress, instead I’m at home, still in my PJs with my family. I haven’t had a weekend free in over a month and this week, with my daughter being ill as well, I’ve started to feel it. So I made the decision not to go. I...

My teacher

by Nicky | Sep 26, 2017 | Health and Lifestyle, Strong Women

In 2006 I went to Thailand and for some reason I came home wanting to learn to meditate. I say for some reason as I’m not sure where it came from, it wasn’t a spiritual holiday at all, I just came home with a desire to learn to meditate. And that’s when someone...

No one told me!

by Nicky | Sep 4, 2017 | Family Life

So today Sam started school, my eldest, so my first experience of the school transition. If you caught my newsletter on Saturday you’ll know that I’ve been firmly in denial about the whole thing! Last night it hit me and I’ve been feeling all sorts of emotions. No one...

How’s technology impacting your health?

by Nicky | Jun 16, 2017 | Health and Lifestyle

Recently I’ve become increasingly distracted by my phone. This may sound a bit dramatic but I was feeling like I’d become a bit of a slave to it. Constantly checking my emails every time it pinged, catching up on Instagram, the incessant noise of text messages,...

What is nutritional therapy?

by Nicky | May 30, 2017 | Food and Nutrition, Nicky For Life

It seems crazy to me that nutrition is seen as an alternative therapy. Without food and water we’d die, surely then it’s fundamental to our health? Our brain needs glucose to function, among many other things! Our cells need fats and a whole host of vitamins and...

Children and food!

I met Livvy over a year ago now when she was just setting up her business and I was immediately intrigued by what she did.  Livvy’s a children’s behavioural specialist, doesn’t every Mum need one of these!  So when we met up again earlier this year I...
