Meet Nikki
Hey Love, I’m Nikki!
With eight years of experience, I have developed the unique ability to blend professionalism and friendship, creating an atmosphere of understanding that helps my clients achieve maximum results.
I took my love for wellness and combined it with my passion for helping others to create a unique health coaching experience designed to help women and teens to get out of their heads and into their well-being. I am a fierce advocate for women’s health – both mental and physical – and am excited to help you take charge of your body!
Having been through my own fair share of testing times, like the unexpected death of my mom, divorce, living across the country from my dad and sister, co-parenting three kids, and creating a career out of a passion, my resilience has remained steadfast. Although, some days it plays a serious game of hide and seek! Life isn’t perfect and taking care of ourselves with true care and purpose is not selfish – it’s crucial.
The cornerstones of Nikki Wellness are empathy, enthusiasm and education. I connect with my clients on an authentically deep and individual level, while also adhering to the tenets of being a certified health coach, personal trainer, and mother of three.
As each of my clients will attest, I find that special way to “break through” and instill trust in everyone who works with me. I deeply understand the mind-body connection and challenge clients’ perceptions of themselves beyond what’s hiding in their junk food drawer.
With my nonjudgmental, empowering, and compassionate approach to kicking self-sabotage to the curb, I intuitively know what each client needs to overcome their individual wellness challenges and set them up with the accountability, flexible routines, and encouragement to move forward with confidence.
My ability to communicate effectively with my clients began some years ago at Tulane University when I graduated with (wait for it) a communications degree. What most don’t understand, but what I know, is that true communication has nothing to do with talking, and more to do with listening, and this may actually be my strongest asset. I have perfected the lost art of lending an ear, truly hearing what someone else has to say, waiting, and then providing guidance based on the information received.
