Motherhood Fitness & Massage - Nicola Highnam

The post c-section scar massage with Nicole, has been genuinely effective for me. It offered a surprising level of healing and relief. Nicola’s massage skills are impressive, and her knowledge and caring approach added a reassuring touch. Discovering that the massage actively breaks down collagen build-up was an interesting detail. Overall, a genuinely beneficial experience. I'm so pleased with the results that I'll be booking another treatment soon.

Nicola is the most amazing person. She takes time to understand your needs and appreciates that every Mum is different. She links physical and mental well-being and takes care of you as a whole person, making sure you know how to carve out time for yourself. Her massages are wonderful. Not just relaxing but she also somehow manages to work her magic to work on knots and tightness that you didn’t realise you had. Highly recommend

I can’t rate Nicola enough, she’s helped me in my pregnancy so much. I’ve struggled with hip and pelvic pain and even unable to walk some days in my previous pregnancies but since finding Nicola she’s helped me keep it all at bay this time round, and I’m so much more mobile. She’s also just an all round lovely person who genuinely wants to help.

I’ve been to both Nicola’s classes as well as had one of her wonderful massages.I’m pretty fussy and have high expectations. I feel a personal trainer should be knowledgeable, attentive and practice what they preach. Nicola ticks all of these boxes. You’re in safe hands with her.Her massages again are excellent. Attention to details, noticing things that sometimes other practitioners miss, and going that extra mile to ensure it’s an all around great experience.

I had the most incredible massage from Nicola. She found and fixed problems I didnt even know I had as well as sorting what I had asked her to. I didn't have childcare available and she was fantastic about it, even put the baby carrier on and held my son while massaging, hero! Super friendly and made me feel very relaxed. Thank you for a much needed massage. Would highly recommend her. Fitness classes are brilliant too, so knowledgeable and I always feel like I've done a great workout that I can cater to my own ability and she never asks us to do anything that could put a postpartum body at risk and instead builds the strength where it is needed for being a new mum recovering from child birth. Thank you for everything!

I had a wonderful massage from Nicola. It was very much needed and alleviated a lot aches and pains. Nicola took time to find out about the areas of my body I was experiencing discomfort and then tailored the massage to address this. I felt amazing afterwards and would highly recommend her! Nicola was highly professional, friendly and I felt very at ease in her presence. Thank you Nicola, I will definitely be booking another massage in for the New Year! :-)

I have always had regular massages and addressed any aches and pains as soon as they appeared but when I got pregnant that went out of the window as I couldn't find a recommended antenatal massage therapist that I trusted enough. Fast forward to postpartum and 13 weeks after having a c section, I was thrilled to be able to have a massage in my own home where I could fit it around my newborn. The massage was fantastic, the right balance of relaxing but therapeutic. Nicola was very knowledgeable about the anatomy of a postpartum mum and what was needed to help my body heal. I felt immediately at ease and completely trusted her to work my scar tissue. I have had many massages and this was up there with the best. It was so great to finally relieve some of the tension that's inevitable with carrying and nursing a newborn. I can't wait for my next session!

I have been taking classes with Nicola now for 6 months, starting 6 weeks post partum with buggyfit, then moving on to mumfit and most recently her Hiit class and PT. She has gently pushed me to reach my goals (I have lost 2 stone thanks to her fitness and nutrition advice) However, my goal aside, her classes are such high points of the week, a lovely social time with other mums and my daughter enjoys playing at her classes too. Nicola Highnam is so dedicated, passionate and driven to help mums and it shows in each and every class. I feel so lucky to have met her so early in motherhood and can't imagine what my maternity leave would have been like without her support. I 100% recommend trying out a class!

I had the best massage in my life. I have had physio massages for 10 months and they didn't help to get rid of my back pain as much as Nicola's 90 minutes massage. Incredibly good!
