Nicole Kimmel is a visionary leader in natural wellness business development, celebrated for her innovative contributions that empower natural health practitioners, advance health coaching, and redefine board certification for practitioners and coaches through accessible wellness resources. Holding a PhD in Lifestyle Health Coaching, she has dedicated her career to empowering individuals and organizations to thrive through optimal health and strategic excellence.

As the Co-Owner and Founder of several pioneering ventures—including the American Association of Natural Wellness Practitioners (AANWP) & Coaches (AANWC) – Nicole has played a vital role in establishing international board certification and accreditation standards that elevate the credibility and impact of wellness professionals and schools.  Her entrepreneurial acumen further shines through her work with Thriveology, a holistic wellness clinic she co-founded with her husband, Stacy, a seasoned naturopath, where they have delivered comprehensive, natural health solutions to their community for over a decade.

Nicole’s leadership extends into the non-profit arena as the President and developer of the Guardian Ecclesiastical Holistic Association (GEHA), forging strategic partnerships that enable wellness professionals to practice legally and safely.  Further showcasing her dedication to innovation, Nicole created PracTactics—a robust Wellness Business Ecosystem that empowers practitioners to scale their practices.

Nicole has one daughter, Brooke, who is an attorney and operates a real estate business with her husband, Zain.  She is Lolli to her 2 grandbabies, Avery and Alaina.  When Nicole isn’t working (which is seldom), she enjoys time with Stacy; feeling the sun on her body (at the beach), reading and walking.
