🇦🇺 PAI DA & GUA SHA WORKSHOP – WITH NICK

I’ve been seeing Nick for the past six years, and the difference he’s made to my life has been incredible.

Before I found Nick, I had tried just about everything to manage my migraines. I saw acupuncturists, massage therapists, physiotherapists and chiropractors, tried multiple medications, and underwent scans that never found a clear cause. I was spending thousands of dollars on different treatments and despite all of that, I was still suffering from severe migraines every week. The pain was so intense that I would often be bedridden for days with debilitating headaches and vomiting, and it had a huge impact on both my personal life and my ability to work.

Now, thanks to regular treatment, I can go weeks without any migraines at all. When I do get pain, it’s usually just a mild headache that I can push through while continuing with my day and going to work.

One of the biggest things I’ve gained is a better understanding of my body. Nick has helped me identify where I hold tension and blockages, as well as the triggers that cause them to build up. That knowledge has been invaluable in managing my migraines.

With a maintenance appointment once a month, my migraines are now well under control, and my quality of life has improved dramatically. I can’t recommend Nick highly enough.

We have known Nick for 15-plus years and cannot praise him highly enough for the amazing healing we have received. I (Miriam) suffered from serious shoulder bursitis. After multiple physiotherapy sessions failed and cortisol injections only worsened the pain, I saw Nick. Within two sessions, the bursitis was gone. My husband, Scott, had lower back and shoulder pain from years of squash and intense physical activity. Within a few sessions, his symptoms lessened, and he is now relatively pain-free.

By seeing Nick fortnightly, we mitigate the aches and pains that come with age. His meticulous physical tapping technique has treated everything from cramping feet, tight calves, and displaced hips to pulled glutes, full-back aches, sprained shoulders, and stretched finger tendons. Nick always zeroes in on the root cause to eliminate discomfort. While multiple sessions are sometimes required—as healing is a process, not an instant fix—the results are undeniable. Nick has also recently introduced a supplementary technique, gua sha (it’s a very effective technique) which we are finding particularly beneficial. Honestly, there is some short-term pain with the treatment, but there is immense gain.

After each session, Scott and I feel so much better—lighter in body and spirit, with our muscle pain greatly alleviated.

We highly recommend Nick and his amazing skills, especially if you are stressed or suffering from a niggling injury. Remember: the issues are always found in the muscle tissues, and Nick helps you get rid of them!

Having suffered from Fibromyalgia for many years, I find that Nick’s treatment has significantly improved my wellbeing physically, mentally and emotionally.

Magic!!!!

With gratitude,

When I first went to see Nick, I honestly felt like this was it, the final chance for something to help with the pain I was in. I had tried everything I was told to do… physio, acupuncture, massage, strength training.. and it seemed like all it did was either exacerbate the pain or mask it for a few hours. I was taking regular medication for pain relief, and struggling to get through the day. I honestly couldn’t see how I was going to be able to live a normal life as nothing seemed to help. A friend had been to see Nick and told me about it, and she thought it would really help me. I was sceptical but thought what have I got to lose? So I did. I’m so very grateful I listened to that voice, and gave it a go. It has been a long road, and it was not always easy for me to continue with, but I am glad that I did. I am in a much better place now physically, mentally and emotionally than I have been for a long time. I credit that to the work Nick does, which has allowed me to let go of a lot of the negativity and stress that I was holding onto. I value my regular sessions with Nick, as it helps me to continue in my career, one that I would not have been able to physically sustain without his help. It has been life changing for me.

I have been practicing Pai Da with Nick on a weekly basis for 9 years, and it has been the most transformative lifestyle practice I have ever experienced. Clearing away my chronic back, shoulder, and neck pains, along with the mental stress, has helped transform my mental state from constantly angry and agitated to a calm and balanced person. This has significantly contributed to my personal growth and had profound positive flow-on effects for my family and the people I interact with.

I have been receiving treatment from Nick fortnightly going on 8 years now.

Full time training mixed martial arts and working as a labourer destroyed my lower back and shoulders therefore negatively effecting my mental state.

I would frequent deep tissue massage, dry needling and cryotherapy weekly costing me a fortune and finding none of these treatments to suffice.

From consistently seeing Nick my mental clarity has reached new heights and I’ve become more in tune with body and mind. My training has improved immensely because I am no longer held back as my body is more open and no longer in pain and discomfort.

I have found such benefit from Pai Da that I even purchased the instruments myself and study under Nicks guidance to offer to assist others in my gym as well as treat myself in between appointments.

I know with treatments from Nick I have surpassed my limitations and continue to do so – I feel I am the truest, purest form of myself thanks to my consistency seeing Nick for treatments. It has changed my life immensely and made my spirit indomitable.
