Nicole believes in providing holistic support to her clients through the practise of Yoga Therapy. Prior to each appointment, the therapist engages in a comprehensive discussion with the client to understand their concerns and goals. With compassionate care, the therapist collaborates with the client to develop tailored steps to improve their health and overall well-being. The client is then provided with a detailed practise to be continued at home.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled one to two weeks later, with the third appointment taking place in week six. Committing to these three sessions is crucial to ensure the therapy is personalised and effective.
