Nikki Edwards, based in Cape Town, is a Trauma-Informed Practitioner, Master Recovery Coach, and Specialist Addiction Counselor whose work integrates academic rigor with deep spiritual and cultural intelligence. Her coaching work honors both modern neurobiology and ancient relational wisdom, creating safe, embodied spaces where clients reconnect with their true selves.

 

In contrast to Western models that often overemphasize abstinence and clinical protocols, Nikki brings healing through curiosity, wholeness, and radical self-compassion. With academic training in Addiction Care from the University of Cape Town and an international diploma in social work, she offers trauma-informed coaching across life, executive, and relational domains.

 

Her programs—including the Master Coach Series and Trauma-Informed Coaching Series—are deeply rooted in compassion, neuro-education, and emotional resilience, supporting clients in unlocking self-awareness and living in alignment. Nikki blends clinical insight with cultural and neuro-spiritual wisdom. Her trauma-informed coaching and systemic facilitation challenge reductionist views of addiction and mental illness, offering a science based and holistic embodied path to healing.
