What story are we holding onto….
In all my 30 years plus of teaching I have encountered many stories. This is the thing we all have a story, whether it’s physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. The danger is when we hold onto that story and let it rule our lives by the decisions that we make. We are all individual and everyone I meet is unique, the various stories that we tell ourselves limit, prevent and restrict our growth. In fact, many of the stories I hear have some VERY SIMILAR themes.
Things like:
- “This happened TO me or was done TO me”
- “These are the events that caused me to struggle with depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, rage or a feeling of helplessness”
- “These events or people impacted my life negatively”
- “That event in my past shouldn’t have happened”
- “If only this had of happened, my life would have been better”
In many cases, people have run this story so often in their own heads that it has become woven into the very fabric of who they are. This quite often shows physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The physical and emotional body cannot be separated. Holding onto stories can show in everything from posture to dis-ease…..
I love showing people how to unravel that thread so that they begin to see a new perspective on their life and experiences.
The process is actually quite simple. I begin asking them a series of questions (extracted from the Demartini Method and Paul Chek) that helps them to bring their perceptions into BALANCE.
In other words, to help get them to a place where they can find just as many upsides to any perceived downsides, or just as many downsides to any perceived upsides.
HERE’S WHY:
- The world around you can control you if you allow it. Many people run from the external world and blame things in their external world.
- There are 3 things you have control over: your PERCEPTIONS, your DECISIONS and your ACTIONS.
- An event is what you make it. If you choose to go by your first interpretation that it is ‘negative’ and you don’t take the time to find the upsides to it, it’s not because of the event, but because you’re choosing not to see the upsides to it. That’s your doing. It’s your PERCEPTION and has nothing to do with the world around you.
In other words, If you’re perceiving yourself to be frustrated and dissatisfied with your life, it has nothing to do with what happened out there or who did something to you. It has everything to do with how you INTERPRETED it.
For some people, this can be incredibly challenging to hear but I have yet to meet a person who has not had his or her own “breakthrough” when they’ve held themselves accountable to balance the mathematical equation of their perceptions and see the upside of what they at first perceived as a terrible or challenging event.
GREAT LIVES DON’T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT. THEY’RE BUILT ON PURPOSE.

Nisha is a certified level 3 Chek practitioner and holistic lifestyle coach specialising in Pilates and Yoga. Her journey started when a visiting Laban teacher introduced her to Pilates at Dance College in a contemporary class during her first year.
Its effects were forgotten but she then re-discovered Pilates through Michael King eleven years later whilst running her dance school.
Her background spans over 32 years with formal training in classical ballet, modern dance, tap, national choreography, stage production and theatre.
Her formation includes Pilates, Thai bodywork, Yoga, GYROTONIC, GYROKINESIS, Garuda and anatomical studies. Her particular interest is fascia, and the connective lines and movement patterns that allow a full moving structure rather than the isolation of bones and muscles.
Her fascination with questioning the traditions of modern medicine and fascination with searching for meaningful answers has taken her in many different directions and has offered her an abundance of opportunities gaining a wealth of knowledge. “I tried many movement modalities and extended my search after experiencing fascia, because of its connection of movement. Quickly, I noticed my own body changing, as well as the bodies of my own clients. In the last 32 years of teaching I’ve developed my own movement and lifestyle philosophy".
Throughout her studies Nisha has done numerous dissections with Julian Baker, Mel Cash and Cery Davies and has the opportunity to take lectures and courses from James de Silva, Robert Schleip, Joanne Avison, Tom Myers, Matt Wallden, Leigh Brandon, Emma Lane, Gary Carter, Paul Chek, Dan Hellman, Peter Blackaby plus many more.
Nisha's teaching method promotes reflective self-discovery and provides the requirements to integrate a shift in consciousness for attaining individual goals.
Nisha teaches in her own studios in St. Helens and Manchester, plus she also has an online following. Throughout her career she has also taught Sting, Sir Ian McKellen, Cirque de Soleil, Will Young and Belinda Carlisle. She has also worked in professional football and both Rugby League and Union for over 20 years. Players she has provided a specific program for were former Manchester Citys Vincent Kompany, Everton's Steven Pinnear and goal keeper Jonas Lossi.
She maintains that an attitude of compassion, consistency and joyous humour are excellent components to growth and expanded potential.
She welcomes all level of movers from the beginner to the seasoned athlete who have a desire to increase their skill potential, also teachers and students. Her specialties include assisting post rehabilitative back pain individuals, injury prevention for athletes and spine health for everyday people.
