Welcome to Root & Rise
A Holistic Therapy Studio in Warwickshire that nurtures rest and relaxation, eases stress and tension, and helps you reconnect with your mind, body and soul.
Rooted in Care - Rising in You.
My name is Nicole Pickles. I am a Transformational Healing Massage Therapist.
I have been working as a Holistic Therapist for over a decade and have been qualified for many more years. During that time, I have supported women through pregnancy, stress, burnout and long term health conditions. My work aims to combine professional knowledge with kindness and compassion so that the ladies I work with can live a better life.
I have experienced how grief and emotional overwhelm can affect the mind, body and soul. Through my own healing journey, I have come to know how crucial having time to slow down and rest really is. When we are spinning many plates, having a safe space to simply exist whilst dropping the baggage and allowing someone else takes hold of the reins is more important than ever.
Formerly Healing Harmony Studios and Little Pickles Massage, Root & Rise has been created as a safe space for women to finally exhale, to step away from the demands that life can throw at them, where you can take time to care for yourself - without succumbing to any feelings of pressure or guilt.
I am here to help women with health issues, elderly parents and their children, and amazing women who run their own businesses to bring calm and lightness back into their lives.
The Root & Rise Rambles Blog is now LIVE!
My new blog has been successfully launched and I am looking forward to share it with you!

Massages
Indian Head Massage
We will focus on gentle massaging techniques around your head, scalp, neck and shoulders to encourage a lulling sense of relaxation. If you are experiencing tension around the upper body, or you are simply feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or worried, Indian head massages will restore a sense of calm and tranquility to your body and mind.
Rebozo
Inspired by traditional Mexican practices, Rebozo massages consist of gently wrapping your body in a soft, woven shawl to help you feel comforted and enter a state of deep relaxation. Flowing movements and wrapping techniques allow you to feel held in a supportive environment.
Closing the Bones
If you are struggling with emotional release, this restorative and comforting treatment will ground and relax you during times of difficult transitions or if you are experiencing overwhelm. This is a safe space for you to reflect and rest with intentional care and tender wrapping techniques, designed to reconnect you back to your body again.
Pregnancy Massage
When your body goes through changes, you need to take time to slow down and care for yourself. Our soothing pregancy massages support with feeling comfortable with these changes in your body. The techniques in this treatment nurture your wellbeing, and encourage deep, restorative rest for the mother to be.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful. I’ve known her for a long time, and her gentle, professional approach really shines through in the care and attention she gives during every session. She has a calming presence and creates a truly relaxing environment from the moment you walk in.
I came away feeling completely refreshed and relaxed, as though the stress and chaos of everyday life had been lifted from me for that hour. It was the perfect opportunity to switch off, unwind, and properly recharge. Nicole is incredibly skilled at what she does, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients’ wellbeing.
I would highly recommend Healing Harmony Studios to anyone looking for a peaceful, professional, and deeply relaxing experience.

RESTORE & RELEASE…
FEEL THE FLOW…
Reiki
Your emotional wellbeing is important, and reiki allows for a beautifully deep sense of calmness within a delicate, breathable space to truly nurture it.
We utilise light touch and energy-focused techniques to help you experience real relaxation, restore your sense of balance and gift you a deep feeling of inner calm.
For those who are anxious, emotionally exhausted or simply burnt out from what life can bring, Reiki sessions will leave you feeling lighter, grounded and deeply rested.
Reflexology
Reflexology is rooted in the belief that the different areas on your feet are connected to other areas of your body, which is why we believe that relieving tension within them is highly beneficial.
We apply gentle amounts of pressure to your feet to generate a grounding experience that helps clients reset their mind and body.
If you are feeling drained, tense and disconnected from balance and rest, Reflexology will make you feel calmer and lighter.
RECONNECT AND GROUND…
REVITALISE THE SENSES…
Aromatherapy
Combining essential oils and soothing massage techniques, our aromatherapy massages use flowing hand movements and tender aromas to encourage both balance and wellbeing.
Carefully selected oils help to emit a deeply calming atmosphere for both your body and mind.
Fatigue, poor sleep and burnout can leave us feeling like we have no time to pause and breathe. Aromatherapy brings you back to feeling restored emotionally and physically.

I had such a lovely experience with Nicole. I really appreciated the time she took to understand my lifestyle, my needs and what was going on for me both physically and mentally, I felt genuinely listened to.
The massage itself was wonderful! Nicole truly has magic hands and worked through tension in my neck and shoulders so beautifully that I walked out feeling lighter and completely restored. I also loved the personalised essential oil blend she created and used for the massage based on how I was feeling…such a thoughtful touch.
Nicole is incredibly knowledgeable and I would 100% recommend her.
