Healthy Human was first established in 2018. At the time both Nicky and Alison were in practice and looking for a partner to help them create a 360 method to supporting clients back to better health and happiness. In 2019 they found each other and 'Healthy Human 360' was born. As lockdown hit Nicky and Alison decided to move their programmes online so that anyone could access them, despite the current restrictions. This move turned out to beneficial in even more ways, for example for those who didn't live in the region where Alison and Nicky practice, for clients with busy lives who needed to fit a programme in around their schedule. An online and on demand course was giving clients total flexibility to go at a pace to suit them and their lives. They enjoyed that they could repeat or dip back into lessons as often as they liked; and for some the icing on the cake was they didn't have to expose themselves to a gym or weight watching club, which can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming or scary.

You're in good hands Nicky and Alison's evidence based health programmes are crafted from years of experience and specialist knowledge. The 360 method ensures a higher success rate; with easy to follow and progressive steps, clients are able to move from being stuck and unhappy to a better place of health, in better shape, and with a whole new mindset.

Both partners also continue practices in their respective areas of specialism. For a bit more of an insight into your therapists, Alison and Nicky, read on...
