Nick Aldridge

‘Our outer world reflects our inner world, and while we can’t always bully the outer world into the shape we want it to be, when we start to change ourselves, the rest of our lives catches on so quick it can seem miraculous!’
 

I work with people going through transitions in life. Starting something new, ending an old cycle, changing career or adapting to a new stage in life. Whether it’s slow changes or total crisis, complete stuckness, the rug pulled out from under you or a desire to get through a glass ceiling in something you’re already doing, you have to become someone new to get new results. And ironically, the person you need to become is ‘more yourself’!

‘I highly recommend Nick if you are honestly searching for a leg up, a team to lean into whilst reaching towards the person you should and could be. In his funny, easy going way, he manages to navigate deep difficult topics and remain focused on your goals making that light at the end of the tunnel truly a reality.’ – Leesa Hartmann

‘It’s great when someone impartial can help you cut through the BS and isolate the areas in your life which need some focus to bring balance & increase your overall ‘life score’. Nick’s a fantastic human and his skill at being able to help you focus and work on the areas that need attention are thoroughly appreciated.’ – Miguel Howell  

Working within the framework of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), but using tools from deep process work, mind-body connection, yoga, martial arts and mindfulness, I work to help you highlight and break down the false beliefs about yourself and the world that stop you from achieving happiness, fulfilment and success.

By using my years of observation of people as a photographer, 25 years of running a small creative business, a lifetime of martial arts, meditation and yoga training, 1000’s of books and the deep lessons of my own struggles with divorce, violent conflict, ADHD, PTSD, addiction recovery, single parenthood and a car accident that almost claimed my life (or at least my legs), I am dedicated to helping people find the tools to see the beauty I see in them and give them the support and the strategies they need to share their light with the world.

I'm available in Cape Town for a few face-to-face sessions a week. Contact me directly for times and details.

I'm available for Online Coaching anywhere in the world.
I currently have clients in South Africa, Ireland, France and the USA.
Contact me directly for availability and details.

I currently teach an Aikido Weapons class designed to promote healthy boundaries, clarity of intention and an ablility to stay calm in conflict and uncertainty. 
I offer short courses of movements to develop new patterns of thought and behaviour using a body-first approach to learning. Embodied learning in this way has had a huge impact on my life and I love sharing this fun, energetic way of navigating difficulty in relationships (with ourselves and others). 

I offer weekly outdoor martial arts classes at The Outdoor Dojo, based on Aikido principles and Traditional Samurai wisdom in beautiful Constantia, Cape Town.
No experience necessary.
