Who am I?
Hello, I’m Nicky—a heart-driven creator and spiritual guide who has always been fueled by a love of exploring life’s deepest questions and possibilities. My journey has been anything but linear, marked by countless lessons, challenges, and moments of clarity, all of which have guided me to an authentic path of creativity, healing, and helping others awaken to their true selves.
Today, I’m blessed to live in rural France with my husband, a lively family of 14 cats, 5 ducks, and 3 colonies of bees. Our home is nestled on the edge of an Enchanted Woodland, a place that fuels my creativity, anchors me to nature, and provides an endless source of magic and inspiration.
My early career as a biochemist in UK labs taught me the science of life, but it didn’t resonate with my core. This time taught me what I needed to walk away from, and it ultimately pushed me towards a more aligned life—one where my true gifts could unfold. In 2001, my dream of moving to France came true, and I spent over a decade as an English language coach. Yet, I felt a deeper calling, one that eventually led me to the world of creativity, spirituality, and healing.
In 2020, a significant life transition called me back to France, where I found both my divine partner and an even deeper connection with my spiritual path. This period was filled with both challenge and transformation, where I learned to embrace the wisdom of patience, the power of release, and the beauty of letting life’s natural flow guide me. As I leaned into these rhythms, I discovered the incredible healing power of creativity. I trained as an Emotion Code Practitioner and reconnected with my art, which became a channel for clarity and growth.
In 2021, I founded *Intuartiv Expression*, a unique practice that blends art and personal growth. Over the past two years, I’ve trained over 60 individuals worldwide in this transformative approach. My work draws heavily from the natural world, particularly the woodlands, and each piece carries an element of magic. I’m now living my dream, with my art available in local shops across Charente and beyond.
If you’re here to explore personal growth, creativity, or both, I welcome you to join me in this space where true self-expression and aligned living can blossom.
To cut a long story short, I moved to Nantes, France in 2001 with 2 little children in tow. And my now ex French husband and father of our daughters. Speaking French was a whole new ball game when speaking to Mums at the school gates.
I started working as a language training and coaching with adults in an incredible Avant Garde language school which changed my life and made me who I am today. I stayed there for over 13 years and loved every moment. It was there that I knew that language coaching was “my thing”.
Divorced in 2010 I started my own unique journey within in France, only to be guided by the Divine just prior to lockdown to move back to the UK and give up my French dream! I gave up everything – home, job, cats, family, life and moved back with just 30 small boxes! Bye, bye France. In had to make peace with being English, something I had rejected all my life since that age of 9 (must have been the crêpes!). Well 4 months later I moved back to France, in Charente to be with my now husband! Life takes us on mysterious turns!
​
During this time, I also became a certified Emotion Code practitioner and developed my own innate creativity, later creating IntuARTiv Expression and Emotiv Boards.
I’ve thrown all my tools and life experience, (well except the biochemistry, but we never know!) into one bag to help you take a much easier journey to your Dream French Life.
