Mind-Body Health

Personal coaching allows you to explore your options, desires and concerns in a safe and confidential space. It can help you overcome challenges and bring about positive life changes.

Stress and grief are stored in the body – yet, the mind-body connection is often neglected in psychology. Practices such as somatic mindfulness and breath control can help you release any pent-up emotions and reset your mood.

Experience and training

I started working in personal coaching in 2016 and in stress management in 2008. My clients include people of all age groups and firms that aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing of their employees.

I have trained extensively in somatic practices in London and in Asia and I qualified as a coach from Animas, an institute accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I continue attending lectures and workshops.

- ICF Accredited Diploma in Coaching
- Certificate in Mindfulness Coaching
- Certificate in Existential Coaching 
- Certificate in NLP
- Diploma in Yoga Teaching
- Diploma + Certs in Bodywork
- Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology

I have also had some training in counselling skills and I have taken part in, and assisted with the facilitation of, various therapeutic workshops.

Besides running a wellbeing practice, I have taught yoga and mindfulness in workshops and on retreats. I have been practising yoga regularly since 2003 and, over the years, I have attended several meditation courses.

Before working in mind-body health, I worked in translation and interpreting and in music and language teaching.

I work with clients on platforms such as Skype and Zoom. The frequency of the meetings varies from weekly to monthly.

I offer an initial free-of-charge video chat in order to understand what your needs are and whether I can help you.

“Nico is genuinely invested in the well-being and success of his clients. I have been working with him for several months and he has helped me rethink how to share ideas and thoughts with my team members more effectively, particularly when giving difficult feedback. In other words, he has helped me become a more self-aware leader.”

“Nico has a gentle sense of balance that he brings to his process. In listening he is able to cut through the static and reflect what is truly important. Moving forward I have found my time with Nico to be invaluable.”
Michael – Brighton (UK)


“My mindfulness sessions with Nico helped me stay focused and positive at a difficult time when I was dealing with a serious health issue. Nico’s approach is caring and he manages to create a feeling of calm and peacefulness which is second to none.”
Rachel – London (UK)


“Characterising for the coaching process with Nico is his approach. In my experience, Nico refrains from drawing any conclusions on your behalf based on what you share with him. Instead, he is a great listener and through asking the right questions, he enables you to come to valuable insights. I was impressed with his skill in zooming in on the real issues. Although not always easy, I felt at ease during the sessions and felt no hesitation to share what was truly on my mind.”
Lawrence – Rotterdam (NL)


“Through my coaching sessions with Nico, I have learnt a great deal about which direction to take my life. Talking about my options, hopes and fears has helped me establish what choices I need to make to create a more fulfilling life for myself and those around me. Nico is warm, disarming and easy to talk to. Importantly, he asks the right questions, encouraging me to dive deeper into my own mind, to seek answers for myself.”
Bhanu – Doha (Qatar)


“During the pandemic of 2020/21 Zoom sessions with Nico were important and powerful for me. Nico is a calm and accepting guide, who has the unassuming confidence of one who understands what he has to offer—and how best to share it.”
Roland – London (UK)
