Hello All, to those of you who are new to this page, I’ll take the opportunity to reintroduce myself. I’m Nikki, a holistic therapist and Yoga teacher.

I’ve been offering holistic therapies since 2014, originally from a salon in Moreton and latterly from my current base in Hoylake.

I’ve extended the therapies I offer over the years. I started with Reflexology, Reiki and Hopi ear candling. I then undertook further training and included Swedish massage, Ayurvedic foot massage, aromatherapy massage, pregnancy massage, hot stone massage, Indian Head Massage, Maternity Reflexology, Facial Reflexology and Reflexology for menopause to my list of treatments. I specialise in women’s health.

I’m fully qualified and insured so I can provide receipts, so you can claim back the price of holistic treatments if you’re a member of Medicash or similar health plan.

As I mentioned at the top, I’m also a Yoga teacher. I’ve been practicing for over 30 years and been teaching for over 12 years. I was awarded my original teaching diploma from the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY). I then qualified in Gentle Years Yoga (Chair Yoga for older adults) also with the BWY. Additionally I trained in Yin Yoga and Ayurveda about ten years ago. I attend continued personal development training courses for both disciplines to keep my skills up to date.

I teach Hatha, Yin and Chair Yoga at local leisure centres. Further information about my classes and holistic treatments, can be obtained from my website pinned to the top of the page (FB) or in my bio on Insta. Nikki 🙏🏻

I practice and teach balance and stabilising postures regularly, to strengthen lower body muscles and to maintain core stability. It can also protect against falls and help with memory.

Balancing on one foot particularly as the body ages can become more challenging. Over 50 being able to balance on one leg for more than a few seconds can indicate how well you’re ageing and your general health.

Sarcopenia (muscle wastage), can be a sign of ageing but is not a foregone conclusion. A starting point, balancing on the toes of one foot with the other foot firmly on the ground to begin with, also incorporating balance into your daily routine, for instance balancing on one leg as you brush your teeth. Take care of yourselves 🙏🏻

Weight bearing exercise to support bone density and strength. In this reel using body weight to strengthen bones, particularly beneficial for women over 40.

According to the Royal Osteoporosis Society, there are 3.5 million with osteoporosis in the UK, over half of women over the age of 50, it is one of the biggest health conditions affecting women today because of hormonal changes around the peri menopause.

It is estimated there are 40,000 preventable deaths with the condition and 146,000 suffer preventable hip fractures.

Weight bearing exercises, taking calcium if you’re deficient, vitamin D, topping up your hormones can help support bone health. If in doubt speak to your GP. Source: Royal Osteoporosis Society (2026).

Improve your cognitive ability. Treat your brain like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger and more efficient it becomes!

Your brain can adapt to the demands placed on it as new neural pathways are created and strengthened over time.

I have demonstrated three levels from the easy to hard(er), so everyone can participate.

➡️Level 1: Palm tapping
➡️Level 2: index finger & little finger
➡️Level 3: Finger spinning

I teach mixed ability Chair/Yoga sessions and recognise the importance of offering different levels so everyone can participate and know it’s possible to challenge the brain and learn new things! Use it or lose it!

Once you have mastered these exercises check out my original Brain Training reel!

Getting up and down from the floor without using your hands is about more than standing up. It is a good indicator of the health of the muscles and joints in your lower body, particularly as the body ages.

This version, rolling up to standing, also requires controlled momentum and balance. Use it or lose it! I also teach chair based versions - check out my reels. Take care of yourselves 🙏🏻

Shifting weight using the bus stop approach, stop off at whatever level suits you. I teach this exercise regularly at Chair Yoga with a chair at arm’s reach if required.

Shifting weight exercises are important movements for older adults. By moving your center of gravity while keeping your feet planted, you directly improve dynamic balance, enhance body awareness and target key hip stabiliser muscles, which are key to falls prevention. Building on this basic movement as your strength, balance and confidence improves.

Exercise over 50, maintaining flexibility and muscle mass through menopause. However, it’s essential you cater to your own level of fitness.

This Yoga sequence I practice and teach frequently. I teach it at Hatha and Yin Yoga classes. The difference with Yin is I usually hold Swan for 2 minutes to allow the body to soften and relax into the posture (Pigeon/Kapotasana).

In my 40’s and 50’s I’ve loved the slowness and the more intense stretching of Yin. However, the body requires the balance of Yin and Yang, the fast and the slow! Shake up your exercise routine!

Leg strengthening, a sequence I teach regularly at Mindful Stretching and Chair Yoga (with a chair at arm’s reach). The deeper the squat the stronger the stretch (limit range of movement if any issues with your knees). Video for instructional purposes only. Take care of yourselves 🙏🏻
