Nikki Draper is a mindset and habit change coach and the founder of Dulce Vida Coaching, where she helps individuals live and lead with clarity, balance, and purpose. After reaching the height of her salon career, double-booked behind the chair, mentoring stylists, running a salon, teaching, and raising a family, she found herself exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like it was never enough. The constant pressure and blurred boundaries left her depleted, disconnected, and questioning the life she had worked so hard to build.
Recognizing the toll of the stress, Nikki began a healing journey that transformed both her personal and professional life. She dove into neuroscience, emotional resilience, positive psychology, and real-world self-care strategies tools that shift mindset, energy, and behavior in a sustainable way. Through compassion and habit change, she rebuilt her joy, health, and sense of self, inspiring her mission to help others do the same.
Nikki specializes in stress management, emotional resilience, healthy boundaries, and sustainable behavior change.While working with busy professionals, leaders, and individuals on their wellness journey, she creates a safe and supportive environment for growth. She empowers clients to protect their energy, rediscover joy, and reconnect with who they truly are. Nikki helps clients realize that they don’t have to push to prove their worth, and they can lead with peace, presence, and purpose.
When she’s not coaching, Nikki enjoys traveling, live music, good food, and time with her husband, two teenagers, their dog, Fozzie, and her mom. In their multigenerational household, they embrace a joyful, balanced life amidst the chaos.
