Niki Stannard

NLP Life Coach and Personal Trainer

I’m Niki Stannard, a Personal Trainer, NLP Practitioner, wellness coach, author, and retreat host based in North Wales.

My work is deeply rooted in both professional expertise and lived experience. Over the years, I’ve navigated childhood trauma, burnout, body image struggles, grief, heartbreak, neurodivergence, and the challenges that come with rebuilding a life when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Through fitness, therapy, personal development, and a commitment to healing, I discovered that transformation isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about finding your way back to yourself.

Having lost half my body weight and spent years exploring the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing, mindset, and nervous system regulation, I became passionate about helping others create sustainable change from the inside out. Today, I support individuals in building strength, confidence, resilience, and self-trust through coaching, writing, retreats, and education.

My writing focuses on healing, trauma recovery, mental wellbeing, fitness, nutrition, personal growth, relationships, neurodivergence, and HSV awareness. I believe honest conversations have the power to change lives, and I’m committed to breaking stigma around topics that are often misunderstood or spoken about in silence.

Whether I’m coaching a client, leading a wellness retreat, writing an article, or sharing my own journey online, my goal remains the same: to help people realise they are not broken, that healing is possible, and that even our most difficult experiences can become the catalyst for growth.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me hiking mountains, exploring the coastline, wild swimming, or finding peace in nature, the place that has played a huge role in my own healing journey.
