Meet The Team
The Clinic
Pauline first became a patient of Nicola in 1995 when she was at the Alton practice and John became a patient shortly after. We followed Nicola to Fleet Chiro clinic and have remained regular patients to date.

Our treatment comprises general half yearly checkups and the occasional specific treatment for example when John had a number of monthly visits to deal with lower back pain.

We both find that the McTimoney technique suits us very well which coupled with Nicola’s skills has helped maintain our skeletal health over the years. Pauline worked as a secretary and the treatment kept neck tension at bay.

We find that Nicola is easy to deal with, has a  warm welcoming manner, a sense of humour and gives confident advice during the sessions, treating accordingly. These are the reasons we always look forward to our regular visits and come out feeling much better.

Taneesha

I am born and bred in the UK and my ancestral roots are in Punjab, India, therefore my mother tongue is English and Punjabi. I am multilingual, speaking also Hindi and Urdu.

I am a January 2021 graduate from the McTimoney College of Chiropractic.

I  have always had an interest in human anatomy but I soon realised that traditional medicine wasn’t what I envisioned myself doing. Whilst my younger brother was being treated for shoulder dystocia as a result of birthing difficulties, I witnessed the success of Chiropractic intervention. From then I developed an interest and felt this was my calling.

During my masters placement, I was fortunate to treat a vast range of individuals, from teenagers displaying poor posture and athletes with sports injuries to the elderly who are a breath of fresh air, wise and full of wit. I have witnessed patients reducing their reliance on their conventional medication whilst realising the importance of self healing through Chiropractic treatment.

I love how each working day is never the same, there is plenty of diversity and challenge on a daily basis and I love that about my job. I take pride in making a difference to patients wellbeing and improving their quality of life, whilst acting in their best interest.

Outside of clinic, I believe in giving back, so I have been a first aid volunteer with the Red Cross and have carried out humanitarian work in Peru. I am also a black belt in Southern Shotokan Karate. In my spare time I love travelling, cooking and spending time with my family.
