Nicholas began his massage journey in 2021 with an elderly friend, Manan, in Nepal who needed urgent care and used massage to temporarily postpone strokes. Manan was also a massage therapist himself for many years as well as many other healing modalities and gave Nicholas an introduction in massage. Manan since passed away and the time spent with him left Nicholas inspired and grateful. Nicholas continued to study the Cert IV Relaxation Massage in 2023 at Q Academy which enabled him to get work at City Cave where he gained valuable working experience as a therapist. He has now completed his Diploma Remedial Massage (Advanced Rehab) at Q Academy, which has equipped him for being a remedial therapist. Nicholas is looking forward to working at Sports and Spinal where he’ll gain further experience working alongside other health professionals and providing remedial treatments. He is also running his own business for the last year, which he is very proud of.

Nicholas is an avid meditator and enjoys spending time with his fiancé. He has been on many meditation retreats, with a particular interest in Osho meditations. In his high school years, he was an avid musician, playing lead guitar in his Latin rock band ‘Un Dia Antes’, playing at many events.

A quote from Manan:

“Be positive and cheerful. Don’t be the one to bring people down with negativity. Uplift them with positivity. Be the ray of sunshine! Smile. A smile says, “I see you. I care about you.” Sometimes, it’s all they need to see. As you can see, encouraging people is no more effort than criticising or belittling them. And, you both feel much better! Practice a loving-kindness meditation: As you meditate, bring someone’s face into your mind and silently wish them happiness, health, success and love.”.

Nick is available for Remedial Massage appointments at our Woolloongabba and Wynnum clinics.
