Hello, hello,

Thanks for being here, I’m Nikki aka The Scottish Soul Sister!

If you are reading this then you must be doing your due diligence to see if I am the right person to offer you a bit of support…so here we go…

I’m a Homebird from Falkirk in Scotland who somehow ended up living overseas in 2007 and I have been calling different places in the world “home” ever since!

Jakarta, Indonesia

Tivat, Montenegro

Dubai, UAE

Antwerp, Belgium

Four countries, two businesses, one husband, one rescue dog and one son later….here we are!

I travelled a long way to meet my “soulmate” Kevin who I met in the pub in Jakarta in 2011 and waited a long time to have my dream realised of becoming a Mum, I was 41 years old before being given my biggest and best opportunity yet…becoming Archie's Mum!

However, I didn’t quite get the fairytale ending I had imagined and when he was born in 2017 I was blindsided by Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. For the first 18 months of his life I experienced waves of feeling tearful, hopeless, overwhelmed, sad, isolated and disconnected.

Thing is, it wasn’t constant, there were lots of times when everything was brilliant! Then that dark cloud would come back over me. It wasn’t linear, it wasn’t straightforward and it stole precious time from me and my son that I will never get back.

I truly wish that I had received the much needed support way sooner but I can’t go back and change that, what I can do is pay it forward and ensure others like you do not have to go it alone.

This is exactly why The Scottish Soul Sister exists!

So what do I actually do?

I pride myself in delivering non clinical, affordable, practical, honest and sustainable emotional support with humour, a strong Scottish accent and usually with a cup of coffee in my hand!

Combining my lived experiences of travelling, running my first business, a hair and beauty salon in Jakarta, my love of helping people and navigating my own mental health challenges with the subsequent studies in Life Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Postnatal Depression Awareness, I pivoted in my career to become the founder of The Scottish Soul Sister to provide a soft landing for other families whether during Pregnancy, Postpartum or if you are a Parent who Feels Like The Wheels Are Falling Off! I am here for all of it!

Providing a confidential space to let it all out in online sessions, my award winning self paced digital guide Stepping Into Parenthood, my book Homebird and speaking on stages as well as at more intimate events are all the ways I am here to help you as you juggle the crazy world of parenting with No scaremongering, No Sugarcoating!

Becoming a parent is not a one size fits all and the support should not be either…

.. which is why I offer a free, no obligation video call to allow us to have a chat and so that you can ensure I am the right fit for you.

Being a parent is ever evolving as our kids grow and change and this is why I have loved letting go of the need to “bounce back” or “find myself again” I have found way more confidence, clarity and feel good vibes by getting honest and meeting my own needs which has helped me show up as the Mum, Wife, Coach and happiest and most fulfilled (most of the time!) version of myself and this is my wish for you too! 

I am an open book and should you have any questions that have not been answered in the Frequently Asked Questions then do not hesitate to get in touch ok,

Here for you,

Nikki x
