Hi beautiful, I’m Nid!
I am playfully curious about the path of life. I delight in all sensory experiences and relish the challenges of disciplining the mind to surrender to the magical dance of existence.
And before you ask, “Where is ‘Nid’ from?” I chose this name before I was 2 years old, and refused to answer to any other name. It is simply who I am.
In 2013 I began the year with an accident that healed my life.
This gift of a brain injury ended my work-hard play-hard career as a media lawyer. I had to face the grief of my abruptly changed life and self. The question I faced was: Could I still like myself if I had to spend the rest of my life chairbound?
The answer? Yes!
And, lighten up while you’re about it.
As I healed my brain injury the journey also resolved my life-long depression and anxiety. I rebuilt a new me and a new life through my exploration of the many healing modalities helping my recovery.
What kept me going?
First, I fully accepted my current state of being. Secondly, I committed to provide a purpose for each healing I experienced and share the gift of this with others. Third, my enthusiasm to feel sensations, a grit to make being alive worthwhile, and trust in my premonitions of a happy and loving future. It was tough. It took a lot of vulnerability. But it was worth it.
Perhaps you have that underlying empty lonely feeling, or a sudden shift upended all you knew about yourself and life, or maybe ‘it’ is all too overwhelming and hard? Then you have come to the right place for kind and uplifting support to step into the heart of your fullest life. With my ability to see the core of the misalignment, I will empower you with tools to meet your needs to love you and your life more. Plus, you will have fun and feel positive along the journey.
What is here for you
Be heard.
You need to be heard non-judgmentally, to work through a process freely and to be witnessed with compassion.
Be responsible.
You are the Master of You. I support your decisions and gently hold you to account.
Be guided.
You create the possibilities. I draw on the balance between energetic and logical perspectives in all my interactions.
Be curious.
You smile. Open your mind and be light of heart, I encourage you to let go of outcomes and relish in the path of your journey.

Business
utilises my entrepreneurial background running multiple businesses and my large-scale commercial experience with emerging technologies in creative industries. I spent seven years as an in-house lawyer for leading media and music companies – BMI Inc. in New York, MySpace, News International, The Press Association and The Ministry of Sound in the UK. My specialities were in technology-music licensing for emerging technologies and corporate sponsorship for musicians. Principally, my experience is the valuation of creativity in unknown paradigms.
My Background Story
I began as a dance teacher in 2000 specialising with children and disabilities after a childhood at theatre school. I loved this work but lacked the spiritual wisdom of my gift to work with the body for healing. My spiritual disconnection created a childhood of depression and so I decided a new focus would help me, so I studied Law.
By 30 I had gained a First Class Honours Law degree, a Legal Masters (LLM) in Washington DC, I was called as a Barrister in England and had cross-qualified as a solicitor. I loved my career and work-hard, party-hard life despite my secret panic attacks and divorce.
A head injury in 2013 left me unable to work for 15 months. As part of my recovery, I established my first wellbeing business and began to teach Pilates, yoga and fascia movement in London. This grew to offer nationwide corporate and private mind-body training, worldwide retreats and East-London community classes.
My ultimate dream was to live in the tropics and run healing retreats. So my next step was to leave the UK to lead retreats in amazing locations around the world - I got to live my dream life! During my travels I met the love of my life on a Greek mountainside, and I moved to be with him in Manly, Australia where I now live realising a life beyond all my wildest dreams - this is my soul service time of my life.
I am very grateful for this beautiful land in Gayemagal Country that has become my home and place for my dharma to flourish.
