WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I met Nicolene after a motorcycle accident that left me with serious injuries to both my knees. Nicolene wasn't just a biokineticist to me, but also a source of inspiration and encouragement. I loved her no-nonsense approach to my healing and I believe that my post-accident operations were so successful because of the work that we did together.
I liked that we worked towards a common goal and Nicolene was always prepared for each session and she gauged my progress regularly.
Nicolene comes highly recommended and her knowledge and professionalism are highly regarded.
It has been my privilege to have worked with Nicolene over the last three years. She is so caring and compassionate but at the same time does not take my nonsense.
She is always encouraging, and invests completely in my recovery. She is always looking at different ways to assist me. Some days are harder than others and Nicolene is always understanding of this, but does not let me off the hook.
She has created in me a deeper understanding of my body and how to best make it work for me. Anyone who chooses to work with Nicolene whether it be a recovery from an injury or just to increase your fitness will have found a real consummate professional who will invest in you completely.
She truly listens and finds a way forward for you. I would wholly recommend anyone to Nicolene as you will come out on top with her guidance.
