THE PERFORMERS CIRCLE
Monique Jonas
"It was really fantastic working with Nicole through The Performer’s Circle. From the tailored work out plans to our in depth check ins, I felt really clear on what I was working towards whilst also being challenged in a safe way to continue to better myself both physically and mentally. Working with Nicole has given me greater confidence in the gym and also the boldness to “be a beginner” again. It’s such a flexible approach that allows you to work things into your schedule. Thank you Nicole and The Performer’s Circle team for my journey so far!"
Nikki Skinner
"Training with Nicole really helped me to understand how I wanted to approach my career as a professional and enabled me to structure goals that are useful to me. She easily helped me to target simple changes in my lifestyle (which never compromised anything already in my daily structure) as well as changing how I mentally thought about myself as a performer and reframing thoughts which continue to help me to see things how they really are across training/auditioning and performing schedules. We were able to talk and clarify goals that both pushed me physically and helped me in the direction to actually apply them to reality. And for that I am super grateful!"
Eleanor Duval
"Nicole's programme was exactly what I needed to prepare for a demanding 3 months contract, as an older dancer I knew I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone to keep up with younger dancers in the studio. Thanks to Nicole's guidance, I felt stronger and more prepared than ever. Even on the first day, my legs were ready for the challenge and I felt confident in my abilities. Investing in yourself with her programme is worth every penny."
Fiona Kennedy
"The support and guidance she gives is second to none. Not only did she tailor my workout programme every step of the way, always changing to suit my needs, Nicole always scheduled regular check-ins and gave me an added support whilst away on tour.
We broke through so many hang ups that had been holding me back from progressing in my career as a performer. She helped me make a strategy plan in order to move forward in my career and offered support every step of the way."
Ellie Peacock
"Working with Nicole has been a really great and positive experience! Looking at different aspects of training and a dancers life. It’s been a great chance to actually reflect, dig deep, and set new goals looking forwards. It's been really amazing working with Nicole as she’s very much in the industry and understands so very much of it from first hand experience! A fab, caring and honest person, with lots of incredible knowledge and experience to share. Very very grateful, thank you so very much for these past few weeks!!!"
Felicity Chadwick
"After the first few weeks of starting the program I started to realise the importance of strength training and slowly but surely I started to feel the results. Nicole’s approach is empowering and focused with a strong push to get the best out of the sessions. While also being the kindest most supportive coach anyone could ask for. As I dived deeper into the program I started to set goals for myself which Nicole fully supported, and I was able to fulfil those."
Steph Archer
"Nicole created a programme that made me feel challenged but also strong and empowered. Through Nic I've discovered I actually love working out in the gym, and I now love going into the weights section, even when it's full of groups of men! From the girl who used to just do cardio and abs without seeing many changes, I am now the girl who feels good lifting weights and trust and love what my body can do.I trusted the programme and saw real changes physically and mentally."
Katie Deacon
The most valuable thing about my relationship with Nicole is the support and wisdom that she provides. Nicole completely understands the all-encompassing nature of this industry and in particular the mental strain that can come with it. Our check ins always help put things into perspective, combat my perfectionism and critical thinking and leave me feeling like I am succeeding and more importantly in control of my own success! I couldn’t be more grateful to have Nicole helping me on my journey!"
Daisy West
"Nicole is a unique and fantastic coach who, right from the offset, listened, understood and supported my needs and goals. With her amazing coaching skills on top of her own iconic performing career I knew I was in safe hands. She helped me navigate the demands of the contract, stay energised and balanced in 9 show weeks and finish the programme feeling stronger than ever before. For the first time I feel confident in a gym, using equipment I'd once steered well away from, and knowing that what I'm doing works"
Holly Saw
"Working with Nicole I’ve seen huge changes in my physicality and technique, and her focus on self reflection and support with a dancer’s mindset has completely changed my self confidence and acceptance when I walk into a studio or on stage. Her experience makes her brilliant at knowing how to adapt my program to work with the changing life of a freelancer, and she’s taught me so much about the science behind the training and just how many things you hear in the dance world are myths!"
Gavin Eden
"I had a few weeks of one on one sessions twice a week with Nicole, which were challenging and full of giggles. I noticed a difference in my strength and control in class straight away. I entered into the rehearsal process strong, confident and able bodied. I have managed to keep up my training with Nicole while I have been tour and have managed to maintain strength and tone in areas I know I would usually lose it on this production. And, I have managed to get through the tour largely injury free! I’ve also had a few welcome comments on how good my bum looks 😜"
Verity Marlow
"Nicole's wealth of knowledge and sincerity is something so special and important in what can be an isolating and intimidating field. She has an incredible ability to just get it and know exactly how to help you solve it.
