I’m a Performance Coach and transform wellbeing and performance with neuroscience.
As a specialist in Havening® and NLP Master Practitioner, I don’t just ‘manage’ symptoms; I address the root cause of emotional triggers and distressing memories to alter the brain’s response.
This isn’t theory; it is life and game changing as well as being safe and fast. Whether navigating performance blocks, anxiety, stress, trauma, PTSD or chronic pain etc, I provide the intervention needed to transform your wellbeing and performance.
Having used these techniques to overcome my own personal traumas, I know firsthand the profound shift they create.
I provide specialist support through Private Breakthrough Intensives and Institutional Residencies designed to remove internal interference so you can perform at your best.

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
