We are all born whole.
Holistic healing is about a reconnection to your natural state of health.
We are all born whole. We are brought into this world with our own unique blueprint and state of innate health. However the subsequent experiences and environments we are exposed to throughout life, whilst striving to meet the demands of the world dynamically influence our natural state of health.
We continue to navigate through life, lacking the awareness of the disconnection it creates until our bodies communicate this to us through a decline in emotional wellbeing, pain or dis-ease. The degree to which we have departed from our state of innate health will determine what we need to regain balance, and this can look different for everyone on many different levels.
At Innate Holistic Healing, Nicola specialises in reconnecting people back to their natural state of health, to bring ease and flow back into people’s lives and bodies so they can continue to flourish throughout life.
Nicola intuitively integrates a unique combination of Clinical, Holistic, Energy Medicine and Scientific techniques into her sessions to provide a broader base of treating the whole body, restoring balance physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Bowen Therapy
Bowenwork® is a highly effective but light touch therapy that initiates a complex self-corrective feedback mechanism through stimulation of the nervous, musculoskeletal, fascial and energetic systems of the human body.
A sequence of Bowen ‘moves’, are performed on specific points in the body, interspersed with rest intervals not unlike acupuncture. The ‘moves’ stimulate mechanoreceptors (nerve endings), overlying muscles, which also correlate with acupoints.
The body’s response to this stimulation can look & feel different for each individual depending on the healing process of their own body’s inherent wisdom. This process includes a balancing of the autonomic nervous system and changes in the musculoskeletal system as the body moves towards increased symmetry and homeostasis. These effects in turn, remove blockages that can become stored in the body over time, and free the flow of energy in the body.
Spinal Flow
Spinal Flow® Technique is a subtle yet powerful technique that transforms client’s wellbeing by connecting them to what already works in their body. The body has an inherent intelligence that helps us adapt to all kinds of stressors in order to maintain homeostasis, however these stressors also create blockages (tension) in the spine. The technique uses access points located on the dura mater of the spine that attaches to our sacrum, coccyx and cranium initiating the body’s self-organization and regulating wisdom. This creates an energy or spinal wave which flows through the spine releasing locked patterns and spinal subluxations creating more ease and well-being in the body.
Applied Myoskeletal Therapy
Applied Myoskeletal Soft-Tissue Therapy (AMT), is a gentle, relaxing, and effective, non-oil, soft-tissue therapy for the assessment, treatment, and management of soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction of the neuro-musculoskeletal system. It contains transverse soft- tissue moves, along with a wide variety of muscle releases involving various sustained holds to treat soft-tissue dysfunction.
AMT represents the development of more than fifteen years research and clinicalexperience and incorporates many safe and gentle methods that are not taught elsewhere.
McLoughlin Scar Tissue Release (MSTR)
MSTR® is a research supported, innovative and successful method of scar tissue treatment. It is quick, painless and long lasting results are obtained in many cases of post-surgical and trauma wound scars.
The effects of post-surgical scars on the human body is often underestimated, and is widely overlooked in bodywork skills. Untreated scar tissue may inhibit other treatment applications from successful and longer lasting outcomes. The treatment of scar tissue is a vital element in the treatment of musculoskeletal and myofascial pain, and psychological and emotional states may also improve as scar tissue is addressed and the patient experiences better integration and normalisation of the tissues.
Holistic Support
Intuitive guidance may naturally come through as movement, words and symbolic expression. Received and channelled rather than consciously created, working with the body’s energy fields, it offers a space for deeper connection, awareness and alignment.

Bowen Therapy Your Session
A Bowen Therapy session will generally last around 15-45 minutes and includes essential pauses between each series of moves to give your body time to integrate the neurological signals. The most common reactions to a Bowen work session during treatments are a deep sense of overall relaxation and lessening of muscular tension and pain.
Spinal Flow Session
Spinal Flow sessions range from 30-45mins. During treatment Clients are encouraged to focus on different areas of their spine to create more connection and awareness in their body. Many clients feel deeply relaxed however going to sleep is discouraged to enable them to be an active participant in the healing. A deeper connection to the innate ‘spinal wave’ of the body is gently facilitated in each session, to bring more breath and movement through the spine. The spinal wave typically presents in three different ways; movement, perception or breath, however this can look and feel different for each individual depending on how their body chooses to respond in that particular session.
How many treatments will I need?
Bowen Therapy – Ideally, treatments should be scheduled between 5-7 days apart and an initial set of 3 treatments is recommended in order to obtain the optimum results. However, there are always exceptions to any rule, and some people will need further or even on-going treatment.
Spinal Flow – This is dependent on each individual and their healing capacity. Acute conditions can usually be resolved quite quickly, whereas chronic conditions tend to take more time as we unravel the layers stored in the body. Weekly sessions are recommended for new clients until desired results are achieved.
Once clients presenting conditions resolve, they often choose to continue seeing Innate Holistic Healing for 4-6 weekly sessions to maintain their health and wellbeing.
The Healing Process
The first 24 hours after treatment should be restful. Do not overdo things with regard to exercise or exertion. Your body will continue to process and respond to the healing signals for up to 10 days after each session. A gentle walk to stimulate the lymphatic system will be beneficial.
Occasionally clients may experience detoxification sensations generally for two or three days after a session, which can include sensations of but not limited to: aching muscles, tiredness, mild nausea, mild headache, changes in sensation of temperature, minor changes in elimination and a dry mouth.
Increasing your water intake is recommended to assist in the toxin elimination process.
Some people may also experience an emotional release if the body is holding any suppressed trauma or experience which maybe blocking the body’s ability to heal.
Nicola emphasises that each session is unique to the individual, as they progress through the layers stored in their body within their own innate healing capacity on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

About Nicola
Originally from the Land of the Long White Cloud, New Zealand, I now enjoy a peaceful life in the Gympie and Sunshine Coast Hinterland region with my family. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll usually find me horse riding, spending time in nature, or enjoying the slower pace of country living.
I support people experiencing a wide range of challenges, from sports injuries, chronic and acute pain, headaches and migraines, through to children’s sleep and behavioural concerns, stress, anxiety and nervous system overwhelm.
I’ve always believed that each of us carries a unique purpose, and for me, that purpose is helping others find greater ease, health and vitality. Before stepping into this work, I spent more than 20 years in the corporate world. What followed was a series of life-changing experiences, meaningful connections and undeniable moments of synchronicity that led me towards a completely different path.
Looking back, I can see that every step guided me here. Today, I feel deeply grateful to walk alongside others on their healing journey, helping them reconnect with the wisdom already within them and creating space for positive change, balance and flow in their lives.
