Helping 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 performers build healthy and sustainable careers, 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 own terms.
When working with performers I draw on:
Evidence-based practice in performance nutrition and dance science to optimise energy, stamina, and recovery, while reducing injury risk
Mental skills training to manage stress, strengthen resilience, and build lasting confidence
Coaching frameworks to clarify goals and support meaningful career growth
Behavioural science to design and sustain healthy, performance-enhancing habits
Over a decade of professional dance experience, bringing lived insight into the demands of the industry

“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.
