I had the pleasure of meeting Nichole Vickers of Celebrity Skin Services at a recent hypnotherapy course, and couldn’t wait to get to know the personality behind the professional! Lets find out more about this bubbly professional:-
What does “healthy” mean to you?
Coming from a beauty background, I believe we all get too hung up on outside appearances and although it is nice to look good or have your hair and nails done, it is not the essence of being healthy. If you look into someone’s eyes and see their soul you can see if they are happy, sad, or “healthy”. Having a strong healthy mind is THE most important thing. If you are happy at peace and love yourself the beauty/health shines from your eyes and your smile. That to me means you are healthy.
Why Celebrity Skin Services – what does it achieve for you & your clients?
Celebrity Skin Services was stared in 2009 with only a skin deep approach mainly addressing more advanced skin treatments such as IPL permanent hair removal and skin rejuvenation (acne, scars wrinkles, etc). CSS has expanded to offer services in waxing, tanning, facials, massage, microdermabrasion, nails, cellulite treatments and more. Over the last five years my business and clients have been a constant happiness in my life. I genuinely love people and love my job.
Why add Hypnotherapy as a tool in Celebrity Skin Services?
Over the time of building my business I have battled my own demons of addiction, depression and anxiety. Through hypnosis I was able to change my life. So now my focus on my clients is not just a beauty pampering service, I also offer cleansing for their insides to make sure (as mentioned earlier) their minds are healthy so their beauty can shine from within.
So you said you have personally used Hypnotherapy to change your life – please explain a little more about your experience?
I first experienced hypnosis over 18 months ago when I went to quit my drug addiction (speed). In one session I obtained the clarity and will power to never look back and to never touch drugs again (and I was a daily user!). I spent a lot of time healing, going through withdrawals, emotional issues, depression and anxiety but never turned back to drugs! It wasn’t until this year a client mentioned to me a hypnosis course and once I started studying hypnosis I knew in my gut that this is what I was meant to do with my life. That I was here to help others on their journey to become the best person they can be. I am continuing my study of hypnotherapy and NLP.
So, how are you now helping people in their journey to improve their quality of life & why is this important to you?
From April 2014 I have incorporated hypnotherapy as service in my business and my clients are having amazing results. Form helping with anxiety, weight loss, stop smoking to health issues and more. I have always had clients and friends open up to me and only ever used my conscious mind to offer support or advice. Through the power of hypnosis I now have the key to open their minds so they can find all their own answers, resources and more. It’s so liberating and rewarding to see someone’s light turn on or shine brighter.
What advice do you have for anyone wanting to make changes in their lives?
Don’t waist a minuter being unsure, unhappy or vulnerable. You actually have all the answers already if you look within. Sometimes we need help to do that but ultimately you are the holder of the key, the door, and the infinite possibilities beyond that.
What is one very valuable lesson you have learned on your own personal journey that you can share?
That I control my mind, not that my mind controls me. With practice you can quieten your mind, be focused happy and at peace.
What are some of your greatest personal achievements/
My own personal journey to happiness, peace and fulfillment. I can share that with my clients and know that no obstacle is too big to overcome. My business is constantly growing and my greatest achievement is making a client’s happy. Nothing pleases me more, than an awesome text message or feedback on my business page.
What are your ultimate goals?
My ultimate goals are to be able to just work from my Day Spa at home (I currently operate from my friend’s salon on Thursdays and Saturdays). To continue my learnings and help as many people as I can. Eventually I would like to do motivational speaking at high schools in relation to drug addiction
Who are your inspirations?
My Mum and Dad who have supported me no matter what! My two sons who inspire me every day to be the best person I can be. All my Hypnotherapy teachers, mentors and new friends and family – they inspire me daily too.
Thank you for sharing Nichole, and congratulations on your journey to overcome a drug addiction. I am sure schools could benefit from you sharing your journey in a motivational speech – good luck! You can contact Nichole HERE or by FACEBOOK.
Wishing you all an abundance of health, healing & love.
