Hi, I'm Nikki
Welcome to The Holistic Health Centre. My name is Nikki Hawkes, and I’m dedicated to guiding you toward better health naturally.
My Journey
My path in natural health began in 2002 when I became a qualified Medical Herbalist with an Honours Degree. From the start, I’ve believed in the healing power of nature, a belief that has shaped my approach to health and wellbeing.
I deepened my understanding of the vital role nutrition plays in our health with a Postgraduate Diploma in Nutritional Medicine from the University of Surrey. This education reinforced my conviction that what we eat is central to our recovery and overall health.
Expanding my skills, I embraced Acupuncture, finding it exceptionally effective in managing pain. Over the years, I’ve continued to enrich my knowledge, especially in Functional Medicine, including the AFMCP course with the Institute of Functional Medicine, to stay at the forefront of holistic care.
My Services
At The Holistic Health Centre, I see patients for Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and a synergy of both, tailored to meet individual health needs.
I also provide online consultations for Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Therapy, making my services accessible to a global audience. This flexibility allows me to support people everywhere on their journey to health.
Beyond Consultations
I believe in the power of community and knowledge sharing, which is why I created the Herbal Health and Wellness Circle on Facebook. It’s a space for sharing health tips and supporting each other.
I’m passionate about my work, which has led me to develop online courses and a Recipes Membership available on the Herbal Health Hub website. These resources are designed to empower you with knowledge and practical tips for a healthier lifestyle.
At The Holistic Health Centre, your journey to better health is our priority. We’re here to support you with effective, natural treatments and a compassionate, understanding approach.
Thank you for considering The Holistic Health Centre. Together, we can find natural, tailored solutions for your health and wellbeing.
How Can I Help You?
Are you navigating through the challenges of a long-standing or complex illness? Tired of treatments that merely mask symptoms without tackling the underlying mechanisms? If you’re ready to uncover what’s truly behind your symptoms and explore the potential of nutritional therapy and herbal medicine, you’ve come to the right place.
A Natural Approach to Healing
As a qualified Medical Herbalist and Acupuncturist, I’m here to guide you through the maze of natural medicine options. From nutrition and herbs to acupuncture, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments, I offer a comprehensive approach to support your health.
Your body possesses a remarkable ability to heal itself; it simply needs the correct support. This belief is the cornerstone of my practice, guiding every consultation and treatment plan.
A Partnership in Healing
You can learn more about my work and approach on my blog, where I share insights into the principles that shape my practice. At the heart of herbal treatment is the aim to assist your body’s natural healing processes. Sometimes, a gentle nudge from herbal remedies is all that’s needed. I advocate for using herbs not just as medicines but as nutritious foods and tonics to enhance wellbeing and health.
In our consultations, I see myself as both an educator and a partner in your healing journey. I firmly believe that you know your body best. My role is to provide a holistic perspective, helping us to craft a treatment plan that addresses both your symptoms and their underlying causes. This ensures a comprehensive approach to your health, aiming for lasting healing and wellbeing.
Creating Your Path to Wellness
Together, we will work to design a treatment strategy that considers your entire health picture—balancing symptom relief with addressing fundamental imbalances. This holistic approach ensures that we’re not just treating the illness but nurturing your overall health and vitality.
If you’re ready to explore a path to health that listens to your body’s needs and harnesses the power of natural therapies, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
