Bertha “Nikki” Wilson, MA Founder, UWELL Health & Wellness Coaching

Bertha “Nikki” Wilson is a Certified Life Coach, Licensed Cosmetologist, oncology professional, and Stage 4 colon cancer survivor dedicated to improving emotional wellness, survivorship support, and health equity within underserved communities.

 

With over 10 years of experience in oncology research and healthcare operations, Nikki has served in leadership roles including Oncology Research Coordinator, Research Project Manager, and Assistant Director of Administrative Operations. Her professional background includes supporting cancer patients, oncology clinical trials, wellness initiatives, and community health programs.


After navigating her own personal cancer journey, Nikki recognized the emotional, physical, and self-image challenges many individuals face during and after treatment. This experience inspired her to establish UWELL Health & Wellness Coaching, a community-centered wellness initiative focused on culturally responsive wellness education, survivorship coaching, stress management support, and patient empowerment.

 

Through UWELL, Nikki combines professional expertise with lived experience to help individuals build resilience, restore confidence, improve quality of life, and access holistic wellness resources that support healing beyond medical treatment.
