Nicola is a Joy Activist - passionately inspiring people to re-connect to joyful purpose. She has been giving Joy Talks since 2004 and is a professional member of the Public Speakers Assoc of SA. She founded the UPliftment Programme in 2003, an NPO dedicated to "sharing the healing power of joy" by training volunteer Care Clowns and Joy Activists to spend time with chronically ill and dying children or stressed adults.  As the Founder, she combines her own personal aims with this Uplifting charity in the mutual commitment of growing and sharing joy. Her talks help folk overcome fear, become more creative & playful and ultimately live a purposeful life.

With over 15 years experience as a performing artist and 6 years in the laughter & play field, Nikki is now focusing on Joy Sessions & Talks and believes that sharing joy is one of the greatest remedies for our planet. "We really do need to take ourselves less seriously" She says...

"With today's fear and stress, Nikki's talks are a breath of fresh air!  Her bubbly and joyful interaction guides everyone out of their heads and into Giggling Gaffaws..."
