Women's Nervous System Restoration

So many women are reaching a point of exhaustion amongst the constant busy-ness and demands of work and life. You might find that you are doing all the right self-care practices but still don't feel truly nourished on the inside. This unique approach starts to change that.

Women's bodies are craving highly attuned and heart-centred practices to restore the depletion in our nervous systems and bodies. Through years of over-giving and over-functioning, women's capacity to receive - without the over-giving - has diminished. This rebalancing is necessary to restore our female energy and life force.

This approach is particularly helpful for women who move through life in their heads, planning and strategising (and let's be honest, this is most of us!) which can lead to stress, exhaustion or disconnection from our bodies.

What this unique approach involves

This is therapeutic holding and touch designed specifically for women's bodies and the female experience of life.

There is a lot of conceptual nervous system information - this is the practice that helps you embody this into a felt sense in your body - through a sacred, restorative, trauma-informed practice that creates the space for you to move into a parasympathetic nervous system state of receiving.

Through gentle, skilled holding, your nervous system begins to feel safe to feel, and to restore the parts of you that have been forgotten or suppressed.

This unique therapeutic bodywork approach is based on principles from the Tigress® Path.

This is for women who would like to:

Move beyond exhaustion

Receive nervous system restoration beyond the mind.

Reconnect with your being self, not just doing

Move out of your head and into your body and experience your own deep essence.

Experience your full woman embodiment

Experience your wholeness as a woman and your womb-heart connection - the felt sense of finally receiving, not just giving.

Open up to receiving

Many women are more comfortable giving than receiving - in work, in relationships, and in life in general. This approach begins to restore that balance through the body learning to receive.

Connect with Your Feminine Power

Access the full range of your feminine energy that lives within your body - your own life force that lives beyond thinking and doing.

Find Your Somatic Anchor

A felt sense of your own boundaries, centre and truth - a body-level knowing of who you are and what you need, within your own embodied wisdom.

Lived Experience + Qualifications

Alongside my work as a holistic leadership coach and women's embodiment guide, I've journeyed my own personal and professional immersion in deep embodiment practices for women. I am a mother of two teenage daughters who has juggled work and life with over 20 years in corporate and leadership environments. I understand - from the inside - the stress that professional women carry.

Trauma-informed, meets you where you are at

Your body determines the pace and nothing is rushed. Many women describe feeling lighter and more grounded after a single session, and walk away not realising that their bodies were craving therapeutic touch.

A sacred relational space

This is a highly-attuned, nurturing and heart-centred space where you are supported to slow down and connect with your own inner voice and truth.

In person, because your body needs it

Sessions are in person in Melbourne, and take 80-90 minutes including integration time. Co-regulation in this deep way is something that online cannot offer.

Meet Your Guide

Hi - I'm Nicole - Women's Embodiment Guide and Holistic Career & Leadership Coach based in Melbourne.

I feel truly blessed to be able to offer this sacred, unique and restorative approach to restoring women's nervous systems. Many women leave these sessions not realising how much their body was craving therapeutic touch and holding.

This heart and womb centred approach to healing, restoration and expansion is experienced through the women's embodiment practices that are woven into this session. This space is held so deeply because of my own lived experience as well as a deep personal and professional immersion as a women's embodiment guide & therapeutic bodywork practitioner.

I offer this sacred guidance and nervous system restoration to other women through a limited number of sessions each week, and welcome women at all stages of their life journey.

"What a great introduction to nervous system restoration! From the moment I walked in, Nicki made me feel completely at ease. By the end of the session I felt really connected to my body, my breath, and myself in a way I hadn't expected. The whole experience left me feeling calm yet surprisingly energised, after arriving with low energy. I highly recommend to any woman looking to deepen their connection with themselves and their body."

Alison Saunders

"I entered the sacred space provided by Nicole after arguably some of the most tumultuous and emotionally draining days of my entire life. Immediately, due to not only the space, but also Nicole's energy, I was able to completely relax and feel connected with my body, and allow myself to not only decompress but to ask for what I needed. Her presence, touch and energy is medicine, and I am so grateful for the experience that I had in receiving this precious session."

Sarah Davies

"This was a deeply relaxing and beautiful experience. Taking time out felt like an indulgence, yet I left knowing that I need to prioritise self care. My nervous system calmed, my mind quietened and I felt more connected to myself."

Michelle Letho

“Nicki holds such a clean, sacred energy that from the moment I walked into her space, I felt fully present and open. What followed was one of the most relaxing, beautiful, and deeply profound experiences I’ve ever had.

This isn’t work you can do from the outside in. Nicki creates such a safe and supportive environment that I was able to drop into a meditative state almost instantly. She helps you access deeper layers of yourself, and through her physical support, my body found a voice I didn’t know it had.

In this one session, my body recognised something I’d never been able to access before — how much I was holding onto, not just in my mind but in my body, and how deeply I believed I wasn’t allowed to let anyone else carry any of it. There were profound shifts I hadn’t been able to reach on my own, and through her presence and touch I was able to access those feelings, process them, and reflect on them with real clarity.

I walked away with a new goal for myself and a sense of having lived something profound, not just learned it. If you’re a busy woman who spends your life providing for others, this session is for you. This is an experience worth having.”

Swati

"I arrived not realising how exhausted I was, having pushed through all week. This deeply restorative session allowed my body to speak to me in ways I hadn't been able to hear before, and I realised I had signs of adrenal fatigue. I felt my own strong heart connection, as well as connected more deeply to power and vulnerability in my womb.

I left knowing exactly what I needed - so I went home, cancelled my plans, and rested. Something I wouldn't have let myself do before. This session helped me reconnect with my needs and boundaries and days later I continued to feel more integrated and confident in myself to make good choices for me.

I highly recommend this deeply restorative session for your body, mind and soul. Nicki creates such a safe, nurturing and nourishing space 💛"

Mardi Hill

"I walked out of the bodywork session feeling the kind of tired where my body was finally able to settle enough for a proper night's sleep. What surprised me most was my lower back. It had been tight for months - long before I resigned from my job - and I didn't know why because there was no physical injury. My partner kept telling me I was holding my stress there but I convinced myself it would just go away on its own.

After 90 minutes with Nicki, the difference is incredible. I keep thinking about how much tension I must have been carrying without even realising it. And how much this work would have helped me before I hit breaking point - and even further back than that. I held on so tightly during my last birth because I had no idea how to relax and let go. This would have certainly helped me back then.

I've found Nicki now. I can't stop thinking about the positive changes ahead and I'll definitely be booking back in."
