Nikol Kuiken is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) with more than two decades of experience coaching individuals and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and opportunities for growth. With over 3,000 hours of coaching practice, she brings both skill and heart to her work, creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and deeply supported.
As a mom of three, Nikol understands firsthand the demands of balancing family, personal growth, and well-being. Drawing on training in trauma-informed and solution-focused coaching, she has helped people navigate difficult life transitions, build resilience, and step into meaningful change with clarity and confidence. Her approach is grounded in presence, genuine warmth, and authenticity—qualities that consistently leave clients feeling empowered, valued, and truly seen.
Through her practice, Strong and Stable Inc., Nikol integrates coaching with Equine Assisted Learning, offering unique opportunities for clients to experience growth, connection, and personal insight in partnership with horses. She has also co-developed mindfulness programs, supported adult learners in professional coach training, and built a thriving private practice dedicated to wellness, resilience, and purposeful living.
Her early career in holistic health and wellness modalities shaped her gift for client care and attunement—skills she carries forward into every coaching and service role. Clients working with Nikol often experience greater self-awareness, improved confidence, reduced stress, and a renewed sense of possibility. They leave sessions feeling calmer, more focused, and better equipped with practical strategies to move forward with strength and clarity.
Passionate about creating positive impact, she has also contributed her time to organizations such as Heart House Hospice, Ian Anderson Hospice, and international service projects in Haiti and Guatemala.
When she’s not coaching, Nikol can often be found horseback riding, practicing yoga, reading, meditating, or spending quality time connecting with family and community.
