Niki's Personal Story
"In 1995 I suffered a stroke that could have left me with numerous multiple disabilities. I didn't realise at the time that this life changing incident would turn out to be the best thing to happen to me. Not only did it allow me to take responsibility for my own healing by implementing herbal medicine & a variety of other holistic health & wellbeing modalities, it enabled me to start living in synergy with the natural world around me. This led me to make a complete & speedy recovery which astounded my neurologist & other medical professionals".
Professional Practice
From 1995 over a period of eleven years, I trained and graduated in a large variety of bodywork therapies and complementary health therapy modalities from remedial massage to herbal medicine, later going on to teach in colleges, further educational establishments and also within my own training school; the rest, as they say, is history!
​
Upon graduating as a Medical Herbalist, along with utilising my extensive knowledge and experience of working holistically, I created and developed two unique companies from 2015 - 2018: Norfolk Organics - the UK's only organic herbal wellness and skincare brand with each product ranging from between 91 - 100% organic, and AniScentia - A unique 100% organic herbal wellness brand for dogs & horses. Due to their extensive success I soon found myself working over seventy hours per week with little time for myself, so I made the difficult decision to sell both companies and focus on my personal wellness clinic.

My Books
In 2012 I started writing my first book. Seven years later in 2019 'Animal Healing - Holistic Hands-on Techniques' was published by international publishers Llewellyn Worldwide. My book is endorsed by Vets and many other animal health professionals as well as being one of the best sellers in animal wellness in 2020. It's been translated into three languages and available from all good bookshops and Amazon.
​
I'm excited to announce I've been commissioned to write a second book.
Helping The Community To Help Themselves
My aim is to self-fund a small area of land. This land will be shared with others to become a vital health and wellness educational resource for the local and wider community. My plan is to educate people about growing, harvesting and formulating their own plant medicines, and spreading the roots of self-awareness of herbal healing relevant to everybody today. Through on-site tuition I aim to empower people to support their own wellness with the abundance of both cultivated and wild medicinal herbs gathered upon the land and in the surrounding hedgerows. This resource will encompasses a system that builds healthy communities by connecting people to their local plants, to themselves, to each other, to other forms of holistic wellness, to good health and to our beautiful Mother Earth.

Please do get in touch with me if you have a small piece of land for sale in Cornwall.
