Helping MT performers reclaim their health + joy
“No one said doing 8 shows a week would be this hard!”
Are you a performer who is…
🛑 Exhausted, depleted, and overwhelmed–just trying to make it through each performance week?
🛑 Doing all the “right things” but finding your performances are still not improving–in fact, they're getting worse?
🛑 Constantly struggling with illness and injury that keeps holding you back?
🛑 Doubting yourself and your abilities, and wondering where your confidence has gone?
🛑 Longing to feel joy and passion for the stage again?
🛑 Ready to create a healthy and sustainable career that feels true to you?
My mission is to help MT performers reclaim their health and joy, so they can get back to loving what they do–on and off stage.
I get it. I’ve been there. And I would LOVE to support you in creating a healthy and sustainable performing career on YOUR terms.
When working with performers I use:
Evidence-based principles from performance nutrition and dance science to increase energy, stamina, and recovery, and reduce injuries
Mental skills to manage stress, build resilience and boost self-confidence
Coaching to set and achieve performance goals
The science of behaviour change to create and implement healthy habits
Over 10 years experience as a professional dancer

“I now know how to prepare my body for the best outcome through food and exercise and I've learned how to reprogram my brain to approach everything with a positive and grounded energy regardless of the outcome and I can tell you things have changed! I have never auditioned so much and received such good feedback in the entirety of my career in the UK. So if you're looking for a coach that will help you put your best foot forward look no further because SHE IS IT.”

“I feel healthier and more equipped with knowledge of what my body needs. It was great to connect with someone who completely understood the physical aspects of my job and was flexible with my ever changing schedule. I felt extremely supported and looked after. I'm really grateful for all her help!”

Applause for thought CIC in partnership with Crystal Nicholls Coaching are thrilled to announce the launch of The Performing Arts Well-being Curriculum (TWC).
Change is a process; not an event.
Change isn’t made from one earth-shattering transformation. We are all capable of building and maintaining micro habits that allow us to improve our wellbeing little by little everyday so we can achieve our goals without burning out.
