6 Business was a real Tonic for Nurse Julie

Enterprising Julie Nicholls is well on the way to achieving her goal in life.

This 28-year old has already made her mark on the business world by being the North Wiltshire winner of the 1994 Live-Wire Business Start-Up Awards and more recently a finalist in the Wiltshire Business of the Year awards organised by the Evening Advertiser.

Julie set up and runs the Natural Therapy Centre at the Bentley Centre, Stratton Road, Swindon.

She is qualified in remedial massage, which is recognised to help back and sciatic pain, arthritis, sport injuries and stress. Julie is also a qualified nurse but decided that working in the health service was not for her because she wanted her own business.

She began working for herself at the Chiropractic Clinic in Swindon ,before last year moving into the Bentley Centre and finding 12 other alternative therapists to join her. Now, she alone has a 135-strong client list which is growing all the time.

She said: “My long term ambition is to find suitable premises that can be turned into a devoted centre for alternative therapies. We have just completed our first year here and the best thing that has happened is that we are now becoming known. My aim is to win a new client every week and so far I have managed to achieve that.”

The two therapy rooms that Julie rents at The Bentley Centre are shared between all the therapists who have been allocated time slots to use them.

Julie is keen to develop her business with companies in Swindon by taking the Centre’s services to them, instead of the client coming to the centre. She also offers clients a mail order service for orthopaedic aids, herbal products and food supplements as well as gift vouchers for any of the therapies available.

7 Julie is Card Sharp

Natural therapist Julie Nicholls has come up with an alternative gift for Valentines day, guaranteed to relax the most stressed-out person.

Julie has teamed-up with Swindon-based graphic design firm The Drawing Room, to produce gift vouchers which can be used for Remedial Massage to treat arthritis, back pain, sport injuries, repetitive strain injuries or stress. The vouchers, priced £17, are for sale in Holland & Barrett, Pulse and the Swindon Chiropractic Clinic, in Stratton St Margaret.

They can be exchanged for a one-hour treatment and Julie, a former registered general nurse, who has worked in Swindon for two years, believes they are a good introduction to Natural Therapy. “I’ve treated people aged between 19 and 85 and it is really beneficial,” said Julie, who works from the Chiropractic Clinic and from home. “I’m launching these in time for Valentines day because what could be more beneficial than helping someone get rid of their tension.”

She approached Alan Read and Charlotte Devulder who run The Drawing Room and asked them to design some cards. They came up with a number of ideas from which she chose six designs.

8 Julie Keeps Up the Pressure at Work

Julie Nicholls knows all about the stresses and strains of running a business.

Her business is to help others overcome these problems.

Called Natural Therapy, the potential of her firm has already been recognised by Livewire, the business organisation for young people sponsored by Shell. Livewire has presented Julie, 25, with an award for the best new business in North Wiltshire.

Julie, a registered general nurse launched the business last autumn under the wing of Great Western enterprise- the Swindon-based small business help organisation. She saw a gap in the market for remedial massage and realised many people needed help overcoming the pressures of modern business life, from stress to repetitive strain injury. So far she has worked mainly on an individual basis but hopes soon to sign up with local firms to help employees. She is also going to work soon from the chiropractic clinic in Swindon Road, Stratton St. Margaret soon.

Belgian-born Julie had to submit her business plan to the Livewire judges before being entered for the award. Remedial Massage, she says, has long been ignored as a way of relieving stress and helping conditions such as arthritis and back pain- as well as relaxing stressed-out business people.

9 Natural Therapy Centre (Swindon Messenger 5th January 1996)
Founded by Julie Nicholls, a registered general nurse, remedial masseuse and 1994 business start-up award winner.

The Natural Therapy Centre is the first of its kind in Swindon with free easy parking and wheel-chair access. the range of therapies offered by the practitioners are aromatherapy, Bach flower therapy, homoeopathy, healing, hypnotherapy, holistic and remedial massage, Oriental healing, osteopathy, psychotherapy, shiatsu, and reflexology.

The practitioners work as a team in an atmosphere of co-operation, where exchange of treatments and information is paramount to their clients well-being as well as their own. This enables them to refer clients in the full knowledge of the service they will receive from their colleague.

Most people are unaware of the amount of tension stored in their body, the stress they are under and the causes of their problems.

All these and more can be explored with the practitioners.

In a safe environment and with our support, clients are encouraged to allow the healing ability of their body to take place and are given the opportunity to understand where ‘dis-ease’ comes from Gift vouchers and orthopaedic aids such as pillows and back rests are available.

For information of a free leaflet call Julie on 01793 495551

10 Naturally It was A Good Day

Getting well the natural way was the order of the day on Saturday at the new healing Centre in Swindon.

Interested visitors to the open day at the Natural Therapy Centre, in the Bentley Centre, Stratton Road, Swindon, could chose from a dozen ancient treatments ranging from aromatherapy to reflexology.

And for those wishing to wind down after a stressful week there was the chance to take part in a 20 minute relaxation session.

The Centre was opened about two weeks ago and its two suites will be shared by the Practitioners.

"We all heard of it by word of mouth," explains Cindy Gazeley.

"Most of the therapists are here today and will discuss the particular treatment they offer."

Also on offer were free demonstrations of Healing, Holistic Massage, Osteopathy, Remedial Massage, Shiatsu, Bach Flower Therapy, Homeopathy, Hypnotherapy and Reflexology.

And in the morning there was a talk by British Tae Kwon-do champion, Leigh Childs, who owns a fitness and training Centre in Swindon.

Anyone who would like more information about the Natural Therapy Centre should ring 01793 495551.
