I Am Mine Therapies

I’ve been a client of Nicola for several years. I find that lymphatic massages gives me many benefits. During my pregnancy I’ve decided with Nicola to have a lymphatic massage every 15 days in order to reduce The swelling of my legs, it was the best decision. It did work and I felt fantastic because I managed to wear my shoes until the due date as well as feeling my legs lighter. I strongly recommend Nicola as well as the lymphatic massages.

Went to visit Nicola a few months ago (been meaning to write this review for a while) after she was recommended to me and the massage was amazing! It relieved all my stress/tension and I felt so calm and relaxed afterwards. Nicola is great at what she does and she is so kind. It’s always nice to see her. I’ve had two sessions so far but will be back again soon!

June 2022 I went in for plastic surgery. The operation was smooth with no complications which meant recovery was pretty easy however I do put the speed and the ease of recovery down to Nicola.I spoke to Nicola prior to the surgery to get my appointments booked in (my surgeon suggested every other day for the first 14 days. I absolutely would recommend this, when having plastic surgery - you can’t put a price on making yourself more comfortable) which Nicola was extremely accommodating for. She was flexible on times & booked me in at ease.She also recommended a massage prior to the operation which again, I would recommend as it removed out any anxieties of what to be expected after surgery when you’re already slightly vulnerable.Nicola has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to her industry, along the way I have learnt a lot more about my body and other issues I have regarding my lymphatic system which we are now working onDuring my appointments in the recommended 14 days period where I was seeing Nic every other day I was always surprised with how great it would feel after, every massaged seemed to excel my recovery tenfold.I must also mention Nicola is professional, attentive, friendly & extremely understanding of circumstances.Thanks for everything, an easy 5 stars for I Am Mine Therapies!

Nicola has been great at supporting me post surgery. I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, ab repair and lift in August and I was looking to have Lymphatic Drainage massages. I found Nicola's details and have been attending appointments frequently since. I developed a seroma about 3 weeks post op and I was told by the dr's they wouldn't drain it so Nicola has helped my body re-absorb the seroma and recover from my surgery. She is always welcoming and friendly and would definitely recommend for post op support

Following my surgery I had several recommendations for Nicola. I throughly looked into exactly what I needed following my surgery and Nicola provided the exact lymphatic drainage massage with the specialist knowledge. Online reviews clarified this! Nicola was fantastic at fitting me in last minute and found a suitable time for me for each visit. Would highly recommend!

I underwent Vaser Lipo Suction on my lower back area (bra line) at the beginning of November and was advised by my surgeon to look into MLD post surgery, as it was known to aid with healing by breaking down scar tissue that forms while healing and also helps to reduce bruising and swelling - id personally never heard of a lymphatic draining massage but I do enjoy massages so I looked into it and found Nicola, I am mine Therapies.I spoke with Nicola about my procedure and she was very knowledgeable of the procedure, had a history or working on post surgery clients and also assured me that MLD would benefit me greatly, basically backing up what the surgeon detailed. Post surgery I was quite tender and put off having the lymphatic drainage for the first week - had I known just how much it would have made a difference to my recovery I would have booked in sooner!I had my first session (out of 5 that I pre booked as a package) with Nicola mid November and she worked wonders! I was swollen, tender and bruised but the technique she uses is gentle and relaxing, ensuring that any discomfort is minimal and after my first MLD I noticed a difference straight away. Not only did I feel less tender, allowing me more movement and also the swelling reduced majorly, It was amazing!A couple of days passed and even the bruising reduced quicker than it had previously - I was taking daily updates to monitor my recovery journey. My second session was within a week of the first and again, she worked her magic and broke down more of the fibrosis (pockets of scar tissue from healing) and pushed the swelling into the lymphatic to drain it more.Again the results are noticeable. Nicola noticed that I had some stubborn fibrosis on my right lower back from the surgery and kindly ordered me some medi foamThat is ridged and placed under the compression garment - this helps to break down the - I appreciated this as by my 3rd appointment -!the fibrosis was almost gone!Not only is Nicola professional, knowledgeable and efficient - she is so friendly and makes you feel very comfortable, flexible with appointments when she can be and what she does really works!I am having abdominoplasty in January and have already started the process of booking my next batch of MLD and making sure that this time, I start MLD within the 1st week if not 2/3 days after the surgery as it will make huge improvements to my recovery.Highly recommend Nicola’s services - not only for lymphatic drainage but she offers many other great services

After travelling non stop around the world for 5 years researching for my books, with hours of sitting writing and studying, and detoxing these past couple of weeks, it was time to get a MLDM ... and WOW! Such a wonderful therapy session with Nicola!Great pressure, loved the addition of the electro stimulation, and for the first time in 16 years I can feel the area around my c-section scar.The other added bonus was the intentionally worn tight trousers to see if there was an instant change to my silhouette, which fitted me better than when I walked in an hour earlier.Nicola is so lovely, and normally I am an introvert, but her energy and persona was so lovely, I found myself chatting with her with ease and interest in her ideas and expertise.Highly recommend Nicola and her treatments!

I was extremely lucky to discover Nicola after researching deep oscillation therapy following major surgery and radiation for a head and neck cancer.With my daughter’s wedding fast approaching and the constant impact of the side effects dominating my life, I was daunted by the prospect of being with a hundred people and having numerous photos taken.Nicola was completely understanding of my anxiety and knew exactly what to do. My sessions were wonderful: relaxing, professional, and made an enormous difference to both my physical appearance, mobility in my face and neck and my mental stability.I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and eager to help, not only with what I initially requested but also with scar therapy and lymphatic drainage.An amazing experience and highly recommended!

I recently had my first lymphatic drainage massage with Nicola, the whole treatment from start to finish was amazing. I felt lighter in weight (felt like I was floating in water), relaxed and toned. Nicola is very knowledgeable & passionate about her work so provided me with a lot of information in regards to all the concerns that I had. I cannot wait to go back for another treatment, highly recommend, best in Reading.

Nicola has been such a lifesaver since I had my surgery. She is always at the end of the phone if I have any questions and I always look forward to going to see her for a massage. She makes me feel so comfortable and is always taking into account how my body is feeling. If anyone needs an MLD massage in or around the Reading area, I can’t recommend Nicola enough!
