There is another way in to healing. Quieter, more honest, more real.
The side door - The quiet way in

Quieten the noise. Breathe. Come back to yourself.

Heal from your past

Drawing on ancient wisdom, lived experience, breathwork, meditation and self-coaching, The Side Door offers a pathway back to yourself - not who you think you should be, but who you already are underneath all the noise.

Why I do what I do

Hi, I’m Nic, and I believe good health should feel safe and friendly, not overwhelming or judgemental.

That’s why I blend reliable science with everyday practicality.
I believe from my own life experiences, inner peace can be an absolute struggle… which is why I started studying Meditation, aura healing and the ways of chi many years ago.

Our mental health, and the connection we can gain from learning a more natural way to form a bond within ourselves can play a vital part in our everyday world.
Holding onto anger, stress and resentment can change your life’s perspective in a negative way, what if you could learn how to deal with your vulnerable emotions and feelings in a more manageable and peaceful way?

Don’t let frustrations of a situation cloud your better judgement… You are awesome, its time to put you in the centre and tap into your inner kindness, learn patience and remain calm and focussed in this crazy world!

Trauma and mental health coaching.

Lets start at the beginning, journaling your self wellness and what triggers your happy. I am here, I am listening. Learn what it means to set boundaries, helping you widen your window of tolerance and nurture the more vulnerable you to give your thoughts every attention and awareness they need for you to grow and channel your inner greatness.

Our chi is so much more important than we give it credit for. The central nervous system and finally the adrenalin that we store and carry around gets awfully heavy sometimes, however, learning how to feel calm naturally can sometimes help us feel like we have never had these emotions before. This is why I always design these sessions to be on a one to one basis.

These sessions can go on for around 2 hours. that’s alright with me.

My mission

My mission is to unlock unaddressed emotions and their impact on everyday life - offering a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your vulnerabilities and find your own way back to yourself.

The Side Door is not an app. It is not NHS talking therapies. It is something more human. Rooted in real lived experience, using self-coaching methods, breathwork, and spiritual practice to help you become the best version of yourself.

The Space

Our Lodge is a quiet cocoon like sanctuary. Purposely devoid of the vulnerability of windows, this is a space to explore inward, quieten the noise, heal the soul and find the joy in life again.
