Hi, I’m Nicki Pakkala, founder of English Oak Healing!

I help entrepreneurs, professionals and healers like you transform physical issues and life struggles into greater peace, vitality and alignment. I also help enlightened equestrians and their horses reach the highest levels of harmony, health and free movement.

Through a combination of connecting deeply, listening carefully and using precise, powerful energy systems, I can quickly identify what you need to release from your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies to alleviate pain and live a more aligned, purposeful life. I can work at a distance with clients anywhere in the world.

When you are fully comitted to this journey, I promise you will:

Strengthen your awareness and connection to your higher self and others.
Experience a deeper knowing of your essential nature and value.
Heal physical, emotional, mental and spiritual pain from within.
Turn around self-sabotaging habitual thoughts and beliefs so you can live a liberated, joy filled and purposeful life.

Why should you listen to me?

MY BACKGROUND

A Modern Pentathlete in the British Olympic team, I competed at World class level in the late 1990s. Plagued with overwhelming physical pain and emotional burnout, my own intensive training lead me to a life-changing decision. In the middle of a track session with my teammates, I literally stopped running around in circles and started a journey of deep healing.

Because of sports-related injuries, I was naturally drawn to Physical Therapy. Before moving to the U.S. in 2001, I earned a degree in Physiotherapy and was selected as the Modern Pentathlon team Physiotherapist for Europeans, Worlds and Sydney 2000 Olympics and the Equestrian Paralympic Games. I was also the on-site physiotherapist for the elite athletes at the London Marathon and Women’s World ½ Marathon Championships. I wrote articles for the London Marathon Magazine, amongst others, for several years on Sports Injuries.

My background as a horse rider, Olympic level athlete, Physical Therapist and fun-loving spiritual seeker has brought me a high level of awareness. My journey healing my own emotional pain and physical injuries, including eight “wake up” calls (concussions), allows me to instantly recognize any resistance you may have towards your own alignment. I will see through your excuses and will not be distracted by your story. I will have empathy and compassion. I am doggedly determined, direct and to the point.

MY DEDICATION

If you choose to work with me, I promise I will stand by you, challenge you, reach out my hand to you when you fall, guide and empower you to walk your talk and share all of who you are greatly with others. You will see your physical limitation, pain and conflicts fall away as you become more aware of your thought patterns and as new brain pathways are established. Your relationships will have a new ease, you will reach higher levels of health and you will absolutely know you are loved and needed in this world. You will feel connected to a higher power like never before, your life will bring inspired fulfillment and you will trust in your magnificence.

My work is both in-person and distance. I address the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental levels with many practices including Physical Therapy, CranioSacral, BodyTalk, Chakra, Meridian and other energy systems. By stepping aside and surrendering on a very deep spiritual level, miraculous transformation occurs. I share tools and show you how to read the language of your own body and emotions. The information that comes from this is your guide towards adopting healthier habits and living at a higher vibration.

My lifetime connection with horses also allows the herd consciousness to be a great complement. The horse is a prey animal and, for survival, connection with each other has to be instantaneous. They are our mirror and are willing to step up and show us a better way. They will look deeply into your soul every time you look them in their eyes. You don’t need to have a horse to work with me but, if you do, you will find this experience to be amazing.

I spend as much active time in the outdoors as possible and for many years volunteered for the Boy Scouts with the C.O.P.E. (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience) and climbing program, backpacking, health and fitness. I also served as co-leader of the Quincy, MA pod of Believe Inspire Grow, an organization empowering women to discover their true life’s purpose and live happier, healthier lives.

I currently live in Massachusetts, US, with my greatest teachers — my husband, Seppo, and 2 children, Daniel and Kaija, whom are home schooled. We lovingly share our lives with many friends including 2 horses (Puzzles and Sandia), parakeets (Jake and Summer), ferrets (Chica and Bambi) dog (Wolfie) rabbit (Hazel), crested gecko (Bella), mouse (Chocolate) and multiple beautiful fish. They all make our lives so much richer and share their wisdom daily. If at any time you can’t reach me, I’ll either be: out running or hiking with my dog; camping, riding or swimming with my horses or at some activity with my husband and 2 children.
