Nicky Marshall
Author. Speaker. Mentor.
Nicky is an award-winning, international speaker and best-selling author. She is also a mum, nan and wife and loves nothing more than family time.
On the 26th of July 2010, Nicky suffered a stroke as a result of a scuba diving accident. She lost the use of most of the left side of her body, her speech and memory were affected and she was unable to drive her manual car to the three month old business she had created. She had four growing up teenagers at home and Nicky wondered how she was going to carry on.
Nicky’s background is holistic therapy and stress management and with A levels in Anatomy & Physiology she had all the tools she needed for recovery, so she set out on an epic bounce back journey with no idea if she would succeed.
Three years later Nicky was fit, 100% recovered, able to dive again and ready to sell the business that she thought she would have to wind up in 2010.
