My nervous system can get quite dysregulated. I’m a very active and busy person, but I also get overstimulated easily. I’ve tried relaxing massages before, and honestly, they didn’t do much for me! I came across Light Touch Collective and thought, why not give it a go? It was partly out of curiosity and partly because I absolutely love having my hair played with. I genuinely hadn’t expected it to be so deeply relaxing. When the session finished, I felt calm, internally aligned and completely reset, although, to be honest, I wished it never had to end! When Nic mentioned that she also runs courses, my immediate thought was, “Wow, I want to learn how to do this so that more people can experience it.” For those of us who struggle with nervous system regulation, finding something that genuinely works can be difficult. Light touch was exactly what I needed. I will absolutely be back. I can’t imagine not coming back!

I've been searching for somewhere to have an in person ASMR sensory touch treatment and I finally found Nicola and the Light Touch Collective! For years I've been watching You Tube videos, but wanted to experience it for myself in real life! The treatment was fabulous. I knew I'd love it but it was even better than I expected. I left feeling on top of the world, slept like a baby and felt rested and revitalised the next morning. Highly recommend! I'll be booking again... 😊

I loved my treatment today. I don’t very often switch off but felt so relaxed with the music, sounds and smells, I didn’t want it to end. I have felt relaxed all the rest of the day, will definitely be booking again, thank you Nicola 😊

I had already spoken and messaged Nicola numerous times leading up to the training course, and even then, she was very prompt, forth coming, informative and friendly and was really looking forward to meeting her. Nicola confirmed with me the day before as to what time to meet up for the course which was really reassuring. I was offered refreshments as soon as I arrived and made very welcome in the therapy room. Nicola explained the format of the course and asked if there were any questions i had. I had never received any treatment such as sensory touch therapy before so I was intrigued to see what it felt like. Nicola spent half an hour on my treatment which was totally relaxing and brought up emotions which were unexpected but quite normal for this to happen as Nicola was attentive and reassured me this was quite common. I felt a connection with Nicola during the treatment which was reassuring and helped me to relax and enjoy the treatment. We then had a break, and afterwards Nicolas Model arrived and it gave me chance to shadow Nicola while she was carrying out a treatment on her model. Her model was very friendly and easy going. Nicola showed me step by step of how to carry out the treatment and at each stage I had the chance to take part so Nicola could assess my work and make any comments or suggestions she may have felt helpful. I so much enjoyed watching, listening, and taking part in the practical treatment on the model. It was lovely as i gradually felt a connection with the lady I was working on, like an emotional connection which helped me to relate to her energies while working on her. I felt more and more confident as I progressed with the treatment and I noticed my movements started to flow smoother and with more intention. After completing the treatment on the model, it was then my turn to practice on Nicola. As before, I connected with Nicola and could feel a flow of energy between us which enhances the treatment. Nicola would make comments and suggestions throughout the treatment so as to help me understand if I needed to apply less or more pressure etc, I found this really helpful. I have got to say, I am totally satisfied with how the course went and the format of the course. Nicola was very thorough and attentive and i can see she takes great care and alot if thought goes into her courses. I cant wait to put my training into action and I feel confident that Nicola will always be to hand if and when i need her input and help during my new journey of practicing Sensory touch therapy (ASMR) Thank you Nicola 😘🤍🙏🏼

Was very lucky to have my first experience of sensory touch massage today with Nicola and it was incredible. The only time I’ve ever been able to truly switch off during a massage. Felt I was really able to be present in the moment which is rare for me and the relaxation has lasted the rest of the day. It really was an amazing sensation that I would highly recommend.

I recently attended a Sensory Touch Practitioner training course at The Light Touch Collective. Nicola was very welcoming and friendly I was a little nervous but she put me at ease immediately. Nicola is very professional, she explains things really well and she is a brilliant trainer. The course is amazing! I enjoyed it so much. It was a fantastic mix of theory and practical exercises. I left feeling so elated to have gained my qualification. I feel so confident to use my new skills. Nicola is very caring, and she really does mentor you really well, even beyond the training course. Her support is ongoing. If you are thinking of attending one of her courses, I would highly recommend it. ⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And breathe...... I absolutley loved my treatment today. I felt welcome and at ease from the moment I arrived. Calm, relaxing, inviting and safe. I was so comfy and relaxed that I could have quite easily had a nap. I find it hard to switch off being a busy mum of 3 but my mind slowed down and my body stilled. I am 100% glad I decided to book. I will be returning. Thank you Nicola for helping me to grab some well needed time to stop and relax today!!
