About Us
While Sand & Sage Living is newly established, the experience behind it spans years of hands-on care, formal study, and dedicated work in the disability and support sector. This business was built on lived experience, professional training, and a genuine commitment to quality care.

Meet Nicky, Founder of Sand & Sage Living
At the heart of Sand & Sage Living is Nicky, a warm, compassionate, and genuinely people-first support worker who brings both professionalism and personality into everything she does.
With a natural ability to connect, Nicky has spent years supporting people across a wide range of needs, life stages, and circumstances. From early support roles through to more complex care environments, her experience has shaped a deep understanding of what good care should actually feel like.
She has worked alongside individuals living with physical disabilities, neurological conditions, autism, and mental health challenges including providing support in more complex behavioural and psychosocial settings. This has given her a well-rounded, adaptable approach, grounded in patience, respect, and empathy.
But what truly sets Nicky apart isn’t just her experience, it’s how she shows up.
She is known for being bubbly, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, creating a space where people feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely supported. Whether it’s assisting with daily living, building confidence, or simply being a consistent and friendly presence, Nicky brings care that feels personal, not clinical.
Outside of her support work, Nicky is also a marriage celebrant. a reflection of her love for people, connection, and being part of meaningful moments in others’ lives.
