OUR TESTIMONIALS

What People Say About Jess and Nick

“Jess is a joy to have around. The patient’s love her and her clinical knowledge is outstanding. She is just what you want in a modern-day doctor!”

Sarak Current medical colleague

“Dr Nick Knight gave a fantastic insight into stress and how to understand it better, for our models working in the high intensity fashion industry. He had a relaxed and informative delivery. His proactive - rather than reactive - approach to stress was very refreshing and showed us all how to stress better and perform the best we can in everyday life. I would certainly recommend a session with Nick!”

Sarah-Ann Macklin ANutr, Founder of The Be Well Collective

“Sincere thanks Jess for joining us and for inspiring the next generation of young women. Your ‘wall’ story was hilarious!”

Queen Mary’s School Women’s Future Forum 2025

Current medical colleague

“Jess Norton is an amazing tutor to me helping me develop my framework of questioning when speaking to patients and has really improved my communication skills”

Medical student, 2024

"Nick’s Stress Better workshop is a must for anyone struggling to understand and manage stress. The 4 steps to Stress Better helped me to befriend stress by reframing it and recognising the importance it can have in my life! Nick was compassionate and understanding and interweaved the science of stress with practical exercises I can use to help diffuse overwhelm during stressful times."
