I transform wellbeing and performance with neuroscience by clearing internal interference.
As a Havening® and NLP Master Practitioner, I use neuroscience-based techniques to change how the brain responds to emotional triggers and distressing memories that affect wellbeing and performance.
When the brain is on high alert, focus, confidence and performance can suffer. As that response changes, calm, confidence and a sense of freedom return, allowing wellbeing and performance to follow naturally.
My focus is on addressing internal interference that presents as performance blocks, anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain or unwanted responses, often allowing noticeable change and extraordinary results within a short timeframe.
My approach is shaped by 13 years leading high-pressure programmes where clarity, decision-making and performance were essential, as well as experience in competitive sport.
My journey into this field was shaped by significant personal challenges, including trauma and grief, and the discovery of the profound change Havening® can bring.
I deliver specialist support through Private Breakthrough Intensives and Organisational Residencies, designed to help individuals and teams feel better, perform with freedom and achieve extraordinary results.

From Fear to Confidence: How Nova Locks Transformed My Social Media Journey
Before working with Nova Locks, I was struggling with doing social media posts. I didn’t know how to present myself on social media, as I have a beauty clinic and felt that I maybe judged by the audience, and that was holding me back. After working with Nova, I’ve been able to address what was holding me back. Now I can’t wait to post on social media. It’s been a game changer for me and my overall confidence has definitely increased. Nova is so professional and considerate and I felt completely safe doing the work with Nova. I would highly recommend Nova Locks.Jaisha

Phobia
I had an extreme fear of spiders or anything with long thin legs. But after attending a teams meeting with Nova, within a week, I had my first encounter with a spider since our teams meeting. I was happy enough to reach out my hand and let it climb onto my hand. Nova's work is a piece of art and I would highly recommend anyone who has a fear to give her a try as no one needs to be stuck with a fear. ?Toby, SE England
