Nici

Co-Founder - Specialist in Essential oils

Hi, I’m Nici!

I am a teacher and tutor with a passion for health, wellbeing and natural living.

5 years ago, I discovered doTERRA’s pure essential oils, and they changed my life forever!

For the past 4 years, I have been a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, sharing with other women the power

and beauty of essential oils, and the amazing impact that they can have on daily life.

I can’t wait to give you a personal experience with the oils, so you can start to feel the power and

connection that they bring.

Steve

Co-Founder - Massage Therapist

Hi, I’m Steve!

I started a long time ago, in 1986, and qualified in soft tissue manipulation at the Churchill

Centre of Massage in London.

I then started work at Tyringham Naturopathic Clinic in Newport Pagnell in January 1987. This opened my eyes to the world of wellness and helping people heal through different styles and modalities. Whilst there, I went on to study under

Leon Chaitow, learning about his world-renowned research in muscle energy work. I continued massaging since then, including working with football teams, providing sport massages.

My passion for wholeness has been rekindled over the last few years with Nici’s lifestyle and purposeful living.

We are excited to provide quality lifestyle events in beautiful surroundings for you to enjoy, to help you look and feel your best from the inside out!

Gemma

Yoga Instructor

Hi, I'm Gemma!

I've always been passionate about health and fitness, but it wasn’t until my 30s that I truly discovered yoga.

Before that, exercise was all about staying fit and toning my body. Yoga showed me that movement can be so much more, it’s about strength, flexibility, breathwork, and simply learning how to be.

Once I reconnected with yoga, there was no stopping me! Nearly ten years ago, I completed my 200-hour qualification at YMCA Fit in London, and my love of learning continues to shape me as an instructor.

With a background in occupational therapy and mental health in the NHS, I focus on making my vinyasa flow classes accessible, blending movement with mindfulness. For me, yoga should be fun, exploratory, and challenging.

My classes give people the space to connect with their bodies, be present, and discover that how a pose feels is far more important than how it looks!

Amie

Beauty Therapist

Hi, I'm Amie!

With over 9 years of experience in the beauty, wellness, and aesthetics industry, I am deeply passionate about helping others look and feel their absolute best. 

I currently specialise in lymphatic drainage and tension-release facial massage techniques that are designed to reduce fluid retention, boost circulation, and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.

My facial treatments combine deep tissue manipulation and sculpting techniques to tone, lift, and define the face’s natural contours. This not only enhances a healthy, radiant glow but also relieves facial tension and promotes overall skin vitality.

Cheryl

Beauty Therapist

Hi I’m Cheryl-Ann

I’ve been passionate about beauty and wellness for over 40 years, starting in London’s top spas and hotels before working on cruise ships and learning from the best skincare brands worldwide.

Back home, I moved into retail, training therapists across the UK to build client confidence and increase sales.

Later, I transitioned into education, teaching and assessing beauty therapy courses at Further Education Colleges, collaborating with schools to develop strong beauty programs.

My passion has always been client care and industry growth, which led me to create "LongPoppy".

Through my business, I bring together my expertise in training, education, and advanced treatments to help clients feel and look their best while continuing to innovate in beauty and wellness.
