Human Performance from the Original Source.

Your body is the source of your potential.

Access to your body’s potential is through feeling and sensation.

Original Source Performance is a Health and Human Performance coaching service based in Melbourne and Portland, Victoria.

The coaching is centred around building physical connection with the body through feeling and sensing. Clients regain their ability to feel, sense and remain physically connected with their body through physical training and deep discussion.

When clients learn to maintain physical connectedness they achieve improved health outcomes without force (no dieting, obsession or discipline), and greater "life-performance" (not only in physical training, but also work and relationships).

These principles have helped high-performers and everyday people alike as you can read about in the testimonials below. This is because the principles of high-performance are just a continuation of those that allow you to live well.

Peak human performance happens when we are connected to the original source - the body.

  • Nick shared some great advice with me on how to manage discomfort both in athletic performance and in life by treating your mind and body as one and accepting it. I walked away with some great tips and a new perspective on mindset for performance which I can’t wait to start implementing! Would highly recommend!

  • An idea that could change your life can sometimes be unobtainable by not including the people in your network that are able to teach. Making the choice to work with OSP could be the part that helps you take that next step in your fitness and mental journey.

  • Before I was introduced to Nick, I found it difficult to find to the confidence and strength I needed to take my sport to the next level, and didn’t understand why I wasn’t improving. But after working with Original Source Performance I was able to understand myself on a deeper level, which has given me a better understanding as to why I wasn’t improving, and what I can do to give myself the best chance success not only in my sport but in my day to day life also. This coaching has helped me improve both in and out of sport, which has benefited me in so many ways. I am now more in touch with myself and am able to grow as an athlete and an individual. I am extremely grateful to this programme and highly recommend it to anyone looking to assist or further improve themselves, whether that be in sport or just in day to day life.

  • Nick has a very different approach to any other PT that I know. He is looking at the whole body function and thought process… His advice is not to look at the exercise I’m struggling with as something to overcome, and push through. Instead he advised to take this exercise slowly and steadily to feel each block that comes with it… It helped me to understand that if I take it slowly, and feel the pain during this exercise I actually like it. It helped me make pain a natural part of the process, which has allowed me to enjoy more challenging workouts.

  • I went into the session with a really long term work related goal as I work a very physical job. After a discussion with Nick we were able to set a few shorter term goals to start working towards to ultimately help me to achieve my main goal in the future. It was a great experience and I have come out of it with some really good resources to start making a difference and achieving those goals. I’m now super motivated to get started and see the results.

  • Before commencing coaching with OSP, my primary goal was to work through personal issues that were impeding my daily life. I was seeking clarity and strategies to process my emotions more effectively, aiming to enhance my overall wellbeing. The coach provided me with insightful approaches to understand and fully process my emotions. The impact of the coaching has been profound on both my personal and professional life. I’ve learned to approach challenges with a more balanced perspective and have developed tools to manage stress and anxiety more effectively. The concept of fully experiencing my emotions, rather than avoiding or suppressing them, has allowed for a more authentic and fulfilling life experience.

  • Nick is a wealth of knowledge. I want to get to know my physical self better and as a result care for myself more. Nick is the perfect health coach to do this, with an unexpected but welcome life coaching element on top. The lessons he teaches are applicable through all threads of life!

  • Previously my approach to improving fitness was that I needed to train harder. This led to injuries, tiredness without commensurate results. Nick has instilled the need to be more relaxed, less anxious and look after my wellbeing with the focus on sustainability. Nick's knowledgeable and practical experience has ensured a sustainable injury free approach to training embracing pain and achieving accretive results. Very enlightening and really enjoying the journey.
