I had a voucher bought for my birthday. I didn’t really know what to expect. Anyway I choose was hair play and ASMR massage. It was just what I needed….An hour of pure bliss. Nic was so lovely and welcoming. I would definitely recommend one of the treatments 👌🏼

About The Founder - Nicola
Hi I’m Nic the Founder of Halo Aurora.
We now offer treatments at two locations (Female Only Safe Spaces)
"Halo Aurora" Abbeydale, GL4 - Home Treatment Room
Within this private and cosy home based treatment room, all our my signature treatments are available to experience.
"Halo Aurora - The ASMR Sanctuary"
Churchdown, Gloucester, GL3
Escape to the stunning and enchanting 'Halo Aurora - The ASMR Sanctuary'. This exclusive and beautiful countryside location offers stunning views of Chosen Hill, sweeping panoramic landscapes, expansive gardens and a charming, cosy summer house - the perfect setting for relaxation and connection. This exclusive Sensory Sanctuary focuses on shared experiences for you and your female loved ones - including Hair Play, Breath Work, Reiki, Sound Baths, Wellness Activities with optional refreshments to add to your soul soothing experience.
As a Registered Mental Health Nurse with over 20 years experience in the mental health sector, and over 5 years experience in the beauty and wellness industry I am dedicated to curating the most beneficial and evidence based treatments possible.
This uniquely beautiful business was founded in February 2024.
I started this venture as I have always had such a passion for supporting people with their wellbeing, but felt my beliefs no longer aligned with the medical model of nursing. From here, I decided to create the ASMR Head Spa (one of the first in the UK), this treatment incorporates hair play, ASMR massage and elements of the Japanese Head Spa (no scrubbing, scraping or pulling here!). Since the success of this treatment, I have carefully curated many treatments focused on hair play, sensory relief and nervous system regulation with profound benefits and results.
I am dedicated to learning and increasing my knowledge at every opportunity, to support me to support your wellbeing.
I invite you to browse through the vast array of client reviews, and hear first hand how beneficial these treatments could be to your wellbeing and, your life.
Info
As an ASMR therapist (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) I focus on creating and using various sounds, pleasant smells, sensory lighting and therapeutic touch to induce a deeply relaxing, tingling sensation originating in the scalp and neck which can spread to the rest of the body. These techniques along with our luxurious head spa induce a feeling of inner peace, with some of my clients describing the feeling as; “being in touch with my senses”, “my brain was able to completely switch off” and “I feel like my brain has been reset”. This practice is primarily used to help with relaxation, stress relief, improved general wellbeing, anxiety and depression and sleep improvement.
I integrate mindfulness and breathing techniques into my practice to offer a more comprehensive approach to wellness.
ASMR therapy is a relatively new and niche field, with many practitioners self-trained through personal experience and community feedback. As a registered nurse I am always keeping up to date ensuring I am offfering evidence based practice. I keep myself informed about new research and developments in the field to offer the most effective and safe services to my clients.
I also welcome feedback from my clients to enable me to continue to offer the best possible service.
