Welcome to NiWa's Holistic Physiotherapy:

A lifestyle journey 

 

I am Nicole Waasdorp — known as NiWa — a holistic physiotherapist with over 35 years of experience, having graduated in 1988 and practiced in renowned institutions across the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and the Netherlands.

 

My journey began in traditional physiotherapy, but it quickly expanded into something deeper. I kept asking:

Why are we treating movement as correction — and not as connection?  

 

That question led me far beyond the clinic — into raw food cuisine, detox protocols, superfoods, plant-based nutrition, yoga, meditation, Osho, mindfulness, and biophilic design. For over 24 years, I’ve researched what truly supports human well-being — not just in the body, but in life.

I believe the body speaks — if we learn to listen.  

Each person holds an innate wisdom about their own needs.  

My role is not to fix, but to guide, empower, and reawaken that inner knowing.

 

My Holistic Approach

True healing happens when body, mind, and spirit are in rhythm.  

My work is rooted in:

- Movement analysis and functional integration  

- Self-support techniques for daily life  

- Deep relaxation and nervous system regulation  

- Embodied awareness — feeling into the body with kindness  

- Conscious breathing and natural alignment  

 

This is not about pushing or performing.  

 

It’s about returning — to your rhythm, your breath, your truth.

 

The Holistic Oasis Office

I am also the creator of the Holistic Oasis Office — a vision to transform sedentary, draining workplaces into living spaces of movement, nature, and care. Inspired by human-centered principles like those of Semco, it’s a place where people are free to move, tend, host, and thrive.

 

Here, reception hosts welcome guests not from behind a desk, but as moving, tending presences — watering plants, diffusing essential oils, offering fresh dates, and planting the seeds guests leave behind.  

Team members move through daily body circuits — not as exercise, but as rhythm.  

 

Work happens in flow, not force.

 

This is the future of work: alive, human, and healing.

 

A Life in Alignment

I live in Italy, surrounded by nature, where I continue to research, create, and host. My work has been deeply inspired by Thailand — especially the wisdom I first felt on Koh Samui, and the profound healing ecosystem of Kamalaya Resort Spa Sanctuary. 

 

I’ve completed a book on nutrition and lifestyle for babies, toddlers, and parents, and have designed transformational wellness programs for people of all ages.

 

Whether one-on-one or in group programs, my purpose remains the same:  

 

To help people come back into rhythm — with their bodies, their lives, and the natural world.

 

Welcome.  

You’re in the right place.

 

— Nicole Waasdorp, NiWa
