My Story
A qualified professional here to guide you
Nicola Davies BSc Hons
I have been a qualified and experienced health care practitioner for over a decade, providing effective care and assistance to individuals from all walks of life - young adults, young offenders, high-need adults and individuals with alcohol and substance misuse. Many of the reasons why people's health decline, such as inactivity and social isolation, can be prevented or supported through recreational therapy interventions. As we are all navigating our post COVID lives, I believe many of us are re examining our priorities and discovering ways to have a great life, without sacrificing things that are important to us- family time, time with friends and our leisure. I thought how wonderful and beneficial it would be, to be able to deliver these programs to people, while they live independently in their own homes. Like many entrepreneurs, is also saw the benefits of having my own business, setting my own schedule and pursing my vision for the business I wanted to build.
