Client Testimonials

We invited Nicola from Manera Coaching to lead an EFT Tapping workshop for our team as part of our series of wellbeing activities to support Mental Health Awareness Week this year - and she was a total hit.

 

From our very first conversation, Nicola took the time to understand who we are and what our specific challenges might be. Her genuine curiosity and attention to detail ensured the session was perfectly tailored to our group.

 

During the workshop, Nicola expertly combined the science behind EFT Tapping with practical exercises. She explained the underlying principles clearly, which immediately resonated - even our most sceptical colleagues got on board. We worked through a series of group tapping sessions on a topic we chose together, and by the end, everyone was engaged, relaxed and felt a real benefit from the session.

 

The feedback afterward was extremely positive. A couple of team members told me they’d gone home and shared their experience with spouses and were keen to explore EFT for themselves. Others said they would definitely continue with the practice as they saw the benefit of it in their own day-to-day lives.

 

Nicola is a joy to work with: professional, approachable, and deeply knowledgeable. She quickly puts everyone at ease and creates a safe, supportive environment.

 

I would highly recommend Nicola from Manera Coaching for any company workshop—especially in these times when employee wellbeing is more important than ever.

Nicola hosted a Tribe Talks session for us on the theme of Women's Wellbeing. She created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, offering an insightful introduction to EFT Tapping. Nicola guided us through its origins and took us through a practical demonstration.

The practical demonstration genuinely brought the room together, and it was impressive to see Nicola in action. Her ability to make everyone feel at ease allowed the group to open up and share personal examples, which made the experience even more meaningful. I received great feedback from attendees and am truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with her.

Alice Hudson (Community Manager, Tribe Porty)

I asked Nicola to run an EFT tapping workshop for our membership, and the feedback was very positive. Her ability to explain the technique, make people feel at ease, and open up to the process is excellent. Members even started feeling the benefits of EFT by the end of the workshop.

Eleonora Vanello (Programme Manager, Peer Works Scotland)

Nicola held a beautiful space for our community group Queer Yoga Edinburgh, as she introduced us to EFT at one of our retreat day events. Her genuine passion is apparent as she guided us through a gentle, calming and open session.

The space was very supportive and Nicola allowed for discussions around EFT which I think really added to the sessions as it aided our understanding. The feedback from participants was very positive about our EFT session. I think Nicola’s EFT would be great for other group events or workshops for organisations, as she supports connection and grounding in a group setting.

Megan Smith (Founder, Queer Yoga Edinburgh)

After the first session I had, I was blown away by the insights that came from the session. I wholeheartedly believe this was due to the safety that Nicola created both in the space she held for me and in the tapping that we did together. She was empathetic, gentle and understanding.

I have worked with several EFT Practitioners before and I can honestly say Nicola is one the one I've had the most profound results with and she is truly great at what she does.

I really liked the empathetic way in which Nicola conducts the sessions, she is caring and very intuitive whilst intelligently highlighting the issues that are most important to explore…the sessions gave me clarity and peace of mind when thinking about the challenges that I face in developing my business.  

I would definitely recommend Nicola’s approach…I felt very encouraged and a genuine support from Nicola to grow my business.

I went to Nicola for 1 session to try to resolve some issues with confidence at work. I had not tried EFT before but within a few minutes it was evident that my issues ran much deeper than I thought!

Using her amazing intuition, gentle question, colours and imagery, she drew out emotions I had buried for years. I went onto have several more sessions and I am now able to understand these emotions when they surface, and put them into perspective also, other aspects such as recuring dreams have stopped.

I would thoroughly recommend Nicola and the EFT method, it has certainly helped me immensely.

EFT Coaching Client: Shirley M. (Scotland)

After suffering from a life-changing loss eight years ago, I was lucky enough to find Nicola and to benefit from a series of EFT tapping sessions with her over several months last year. I felt like I was stuck in a rut with my grief and that after years of traumatic emotional processing, my progress had plateaued. 

However slowly during my time with Nicola, I was able to access and express many of the overwhelming thoughts and emotions which still plagued me.  Guided by her calm questioning I was able to unlock the anger, anxiety and bewilderment that still played a huge part in my daily life.  As our relationship developed I felt I could trust her completely and our sessions became a safe space where I could be completely honest and express my true feelings.  By talking to Nicola openly and with no barriers, I was able to sit with those feelings and allow tapping to release them and lighten their load. The soothing effect of repeating phrases and following a series of specific tapping points causes initially scary or upsetting emotions to lose some of their power. By releasing them they are somehow tamed and you gain control. They become another small milestone, another obstacle overcome in your journey towards further healing.

I would unreservedly recommend Nicola to a wide range of people for a wide range of issues.  Nicola’s insightful comments and natural empathy lent our sessions an authenticity which has made their effect long-lasting. And while the burden of my loss will never completely disappear, it definitely feels more manageable.  Tapping has provided me with a powerful, readily available tool for accessing and facing my own emotional state fully and without fear; a very useful skill we can all benefit from on some level.  Tapping allows us to unlock entrenched mental and emotional states, to dig deeper within ourselves, providing the freedom to change how we perceive life and our place in it. Personally, this shift relieved a lot of the emotional pain I was still carrying and gave me hope for a happier, worthwhile future. And for that I will be forever grateful. 

EFT Coaching Client: Laura M. (Scotland)

The sessions with Nicola were very insightful. She creates such a safe space…I felt supported and contained, and it helped me to go in corners of myself that maybe would have been more difficult had I done this on my own. She is gentle and kind and guided me when I needed guidance.

EFT Coaching Client: Poliana A. (Ireland)

Nicola was my coach and supported me during a time when I was transitioning from a large corporate to working in a startup environment. Throughout the 4 months she worked with me, I increased my confidence and settled well into my new role. 

Nicola held the space for me and created a safe environment in which I felt comfortable to share and open up about my concerns. Through thoughtful and effective questioning, she helped me to reflect on myself and supported me in creating actions that enabled me to transition from one job to another, more successfully. 

The coaching sessions were well structured, and relevant and Nicola offered her full support throughout and gave me the feeling she cared about me. Due to her academic background, Nicola has a fantastic ability to grasp concepts and knows how to apply different coaching models to create an effective coaching session that is outcome-oriented. She also has a high level of integrity, which makes her a fantastic coach. 

I really enjoyed working with Nicola and am very grateful for her support during a time of my life when I was transitioning from one big project to another.
