"Having been a pupil of Earth Balance Tai Chi for some two years, I had often thought about one to one lessons. So earlier this year I decided to treat myself. Truly, the best move I have made in a long time. Working through the movements with the encouragement and undivided attention of Nicola has made a vast difference to my Tai Chi practise. With my posture being corrected, and the moves being explained in great detail, knee alignment (a weak point before) put right not only affected my practise, but my everyday awareness of my physical and mental being. All with Nicola’s enthusiasm, support and sparkling good humour. I have my lessons in a lovely outdoors setting in whatever weather the seasons bring us.

Online Private Tuition Review 2019

"Tai Chi and Qigong are wonderful teachings. They are truly accessible to all. No matter age, physically ability or fitness, you can improve your health. You can approach these exercises casually or embrace them wholeheartedly. It is up to you what you want from them. As a teacher Nicola is exceptional in helping you achieve your goals, no matter how small or large they may be. Her depth of knowledge about Tai Chi, Qigong, the body and its needs is incredible and only matched by her passion for helping people achieve their personal goals. She encourages your progress, mentors your practise and celebrates your achievements alongside you. Nicola’s coaching of Tai Chi and body health is an absolute blessing to me as my life ebbs and flows around the stresses of work, home, health and family. What Nicola brings is an innate wisdom that supports you in the round (mental, emotional and physical) even as you practise connecting with your body through the elegant Tai Chi and Qigong forms. Having the ability to work with Nicola through her online one to one and group sessions is a real gift. It is so easy to connect and start your practise from the comfort of your living room with Nicola supporting you the whole way."

Online Private Tuition Review 2022

"Nicola is hands down the best Tai Chi instructor I have studied with in my 27 years of practice. Her wealth of knowledge is quite vast, her compassion and caring go on even further. Nicola doesn't just show you the gross moves she explains all the principles and makes sure they are all being implemented in your practice. Also positive constructive criticism aimed at helping you advance. She has said to me more than once that my abilities will surpass her someday, something you never hear from other teachers, their ego gets in the way. Her ability to make adjustments and tweak things over Zoom is unparalleled. I hope she never runs out of things to teach me."
