Riding Life Like You Stole It - Rise Up Story with Nicky Herringshaw

Sometimes life doesn’t fall apart because you’ve failed. Sometimes it falls apart because you’ve abandoned yourself. In this deeply honest Rise Up Story, Vicky Ross is joined by physiotherapist and mind-body practitioner Nicky Herringshaw, whose life looked successful from the outside but quietly felt empty on the inside.

From the monotony of early motherhood to discovering betrayal, Nikki shares the moment she realised she had been living everyone else’s version of her life—and what it took to come home to herself.

Together they explore:

• Why your body often speaks before your mind is ready to listen.

• Healing after infidelity and divorce without becoming bitter.

• The surprising power of understanding someone’s story without excusing their behaviour.

• Why meditation isn’t about escaping life – it’s about returning to yourself.

• The relationship between physical symptoms, emotions and unconscious beliefs.

• Letting go of people-pleasing and learning to trust your own intuition.

• The freedom that comes from upgrading not only your future – but the story you tell yourself about your past.

Drawing on more than 24 years as a physiotherapist, Nikki explains how she combines Women’s Health Physiotherapy with Havening, PSYCH-K®, NLP and Cranio-Sacral Therapy to help people reconnect mind, body and soul through a truly holistic approach.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Is this really my life?” this conversation will remind you that your greatest breakthrough often begins with your greatest awakening.

Rise Up – Healing Beyond the Surface: A Powerful Conversation with Ben Barnett

Vicky Ross — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 20:34:58 +0000

In this episode of Rise Up and Live, Vicky is joined by holistic therapist Ben Barnett for a thoughtful and deeply human conversation about healing, personal transformation, and the wisdom of the body. Ben has spent more than 30 years working in holistic therapy, combining physical bodywork with energy work, coaching, and a deep understanding of how our emotional experiences shape the way we live in our bodies. As a Reiki Master Practitioner, auricular acupuncturist, and specialist in therapeutic bodywork, his approach goes far beyond simply treating symptoms. Together, Vicky and Ben explore what it really means to heal beyond the surface. They discuss how early childhood experiences can quietly shape our beliefs, relationships, and sense of self, and how many of the patterns we carry into adulthood began as strategies to help us survive emotionally difficult environments. In this conversation you’ll hear about: • how the body often reveals what the mind tries to hide • the emotional patterns that can shape relationships and identity • why healing is not about fixing something that is broken • how awareness allows us to release old patterns and create new possibilities • the difference between trying to heal the past and transforming the present Ben also shares his own Rise Up story — the personal insights that changed the way he understood himself, his relationships, and the way he works with clients today. This is a conversation about awareness, compassion, and the powerful realisation that many of the struggles we carry may have begun with ideas about ourselves that were never truly ours.

This episode reflects my interpretation and awareness-based philosophical perspective, shaped by years of personal experience, training, reading, and research. It is not medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice and does not replace professional support. The language used is descriptive and reflective, not diagnostic.

Not everyone will resonate with these ideas – and that is completely okay.

You are responsible for your own interpretations, decisions, and the changes you choose to make in your life.

Here is to your success
