Movement & Stillness for Hypermobile Bodies
I believe everyone is unique, even with the same diagnosis. We all go through the ebb and flow of symptoms, ageing, routines, families, relationships, work and environmental factors. Person centred support is at the heart of my work as a hypermobile specialist. I have ongoing lived experience, and I continue to work hard every day to maintain self care and self management of the syndrome. I can truly empathise and relate to my clients and students, offering not only personalised support, but also validation, a heart felt understanding of the condition, and above all a sense of hope.
Hypermobility Specialist
Hello, I am Nicola a hypermobility specialist based in Hampshire in the UK. Personally, I live with hypermobility spectrum disorder, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Professionally, I have dedicated the last fifteen years of my life to studying the human body in movement and stillness, to help find natural strategies to support the symptoms of living with hypermobility.
