Nicola Owen


Nicola Jane Owen was a sufferer from premenstrual syndrome who was prosecuted for arson endangering life and attempting to kill her mother at the Old Bailey but made legal history on 22 December 1978 by successfully using her condition as a defence. Pioneering research doctor Katharina Dalton testified as an expert witness.
As a result of this trauma she developed tools and resources in attempt to help people to better manage stress and anxiety. The Healing Hub App is the result of three decades of tools and techniques pioneered by Owen who claims to have successfully treated thousands of individuals combining breath-work, sound therapy, neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis.
Many of the techniques used by Nicola and The Healing Hub are based on NLP. This modality has been largely debunked by the scientific community and is considered by most to be a pseudoscience. Despite this, The Healing Hub and its founder advertise their services as science-based programmes.
