Helping you reconnect your body and mind — for lasting resilience, strength, and wellbeing.

About Nicola

Hi, I’m Nicola Turner MSc., founder of BodyMindBrain.

After a combined 35 years of study and clinical practice as a psychotherapist, it became obvious to me that working with the mind alone isn’t enough.  Long-term stress and adversity change the functioning of our body and brain as well as our mind.

Many of my clients had done the work of talking therapy — gaining insight, moving onto new ways of thinking and changing old habits  — yet still found themselves stuck in survival mode. Tense muscles, disturbed sleep, a nervous system on alert, shallow breathing and energy, resilience, and performance that didn’t fully return.

I realised something more holistic was needed:
An approach that supports the whole human system — body, brain, and nervous system — together.

That’s why I now work across four key areas:

• Neuroscience – calming the brain and  nervous system, helping them relearn to find balance

• Breath Science – retraining breathing and oxygenation

• Movement – rebuilding strength, posture, and movement unhindered by tension

• Psychology – helping mindset and emotions arise out of a body that is regulated in balance

This whole-system approach creates real, lasting change — from the inside out.

Why I do this work

My life and career have been in pursuit of what mental health, and this has led me to the simple conclusion that body and mind are inseparable. At the heart of this is understanding how cumulative stress changes the functioning of our bodies, and that to change our minds, we need a holistic approach to help body, mind and brain work in balance, together.
