“Had an absolutely superb, game-changing day on the River Dee thanks to Nic's expert coaching methods.  A friend and I had booked a bespoke coaching session, as I was about ready to hang-up my paddle for good, following one or two challenging experiences. Thanks to Nic's holistic approach to understanding the individual and their needs in order to progress, I finished the day feeling absolutely elated, empowered to conquer challenges and ready to continue my paddling journey.  Nic's years of paddling experience and academic practice are a large part of what makes her such a great coach.  More importantly, and what makes Nic an outstanding coach, is that she is a great person to spend the day with - intuitive, kind, full of strength, energy and fun - she is such a positive force to be around.   I couldn't recommend Nic's coaching highly enough for any paddler, of any experience - my (male) partner spent a fantastic weekend under Nic's tutelage learning 'WW' rescue skills.  However, Nic is also an outstanding ambassador and mentor for women in water sport and her understanding of how I was approaching the day and her tailored tuition, was significant in the progress I was able to make.  I cannot wait to organise another session - thank you so much Nic.”
