ABOUT DISCOVER
YOUR BOUNCE
About Discover Your Bounce
Discover Your Bounce was created in May 2013 after Founder Nicky Marshall suffered and recovered from a stroke. Combining her years as an accountant and business woman with her years in the holistic and wellbeing industries she designed a programme that was a foundation course, to bring people back from overwhelm and stress that leads to illness.
Nicky was joined by fellow director Sharon Critchlow in 2016 and we added leadership training and a publishing business to our group.
Through leadership and wellbeing group workshops and team events we can create individual solutions to upskill leaders and move businesses forwards.
Our approach is consultative, working with HR Managers and Business Leaders to create the right experience in every business.
Creating happiness & resilience in your organisation!
Meet the Directors
Nicky Marshall
Executive Director
Nicky is the founder of Discover Your Bounce and what started as a passion 4 years ago has grown into a group of companies thanks to a stubborn streak, perseverance and great support from her Co-Directors! Nicky is an award winning, international author and speaker with 11 books in publication.
Nicky started her working life in finance, trained to be a CIMA Accountant and through her own health learned the importance of wellbeing, going on to train in a range of holistic therapies and stress management.
Nicky identified that to create better health, more energy and a life worth loving individually we need to use daily techniques and make the right choices. Working with a specialist will get you so far, but it’s what we do every day that makes the difference. Changes don’t need to be complicated or elaborate, small shifts can lead to massive results. Nicky discovered this first hand during her three year recovery from a stroke in 2010.

Meet our cheerleaders
Laura Barnett
Laura is all about Freedom To Live! She’s been running her own business(es) since 2007; after 10 years in marketing and design she was looking for something that would offer her the opportunity to have the freedom and independence she craved. Being self-employed was the only way she could lead the life she wanted with the flexibility to support her family at a moment’s notice. She needed to be in control.
Laura met Nicky in 2013 and embarked on the Discover Your Bounce Programme which helped her to change her thinking, increase her motivation and design a life to her own ideals. The profound impact of Discover your Bounce was so great, and aligned with Laura’s philosophy that the logical step was to become a director and help others to find the freedom to live their lives too!
