text: Nicola Bishop - Fresh Holistic Health
  Nicola first became interested in Natural Therapies while living in New Zealand 17 years ago. It started with her love for essential oils so she completed a Diploma of Aromatherapy through the College of Natural Medicine in Christchurch. From these studies Nicola became more in interested in the body's function of the muscular-skeletal system and how essential oils can reduce inflammation and restore balance.
  It was here on the Sunshine Coast Nicola completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage. Which has allowed her to gain experience over the last ten years working with Osteopaths, Acupuncturists and Physiotherapists in various clinics on the coast. Nicola believes Remedial Massage can complement the treatments from other practitioners, by supporting and nurturing the body's ability to heal and adjust to its natural function holistically.
  As a mother of two happy, healthy, sports driven children, Nicola has discovered there is so much more she wants to know about the Human body to allow her to better understand disease, mental health and injury. Nicola is currently studying the Enrolled Endorsed Nursing Diploma, and loving the challenge! Life is busy, so Nicola is always making sure she finds the time for herself, whether it's a yoga class, massage, swimming in the ocean, bush walking, or whatever is available to find that quiet centred time that we all need to make time for.
