About Strong and Stable


I’m Nikol Kuiken, a Master Certified Coach, Trauma-Informed Practitioner, and Presence-Based Coach 

with advanced training in 

Trauma Informed and Solution-Focused Coaching, 


More importantly, I’m someone who understands what it 

means to live through profound change — 

and to find, again and again, 

that strength and stability

 are built one steady step, 

one choice, one decision 

 at a time

WELCOME!

About Strong and Stable


Life has a way of changing in an instant. 

Loss, trauma, or unexpected transitions 

can shake the very ground beneath us — 

leaving us searching for balance, meaning, and a way forward.


At Strong and Stable, I help people rebuild from those moments — not by erasing what’s happened, 

but by learning how to live with it. 


Together, we create a foundation that’s 

strong enough to hold your past and your pain, 

and stable enough to support your 

healing, growth, and hope for the future.



WELCOME!

The Work We Do


I offer a range of 

trauma-informed and experiential services, including:


  • Individual Coaching for grief, trauma, and difficult life transitions
     
  • Equine Assisted Learning for somatic healing, presence, and emotional regulation
     
  • Mentorship for Coaches who want to feel strong and stable in their Trauma-Informed and Solution-Focused practice — grounded, competent, confident, and capable of holding space for others with skill and care
     

Each experience is customized 

— meeting you exactly where you are, 

and supporting where you’re ready to go.


About Us

About Me

I’m Nikol Kuiken, a Master Certified Coach (MCC), Trauma-Informed Practitioner, and Presence-Based Coach with advanced training in Trauma-Informed and Solution-Focused Coaching.

Life can change in an instant. Loss, trauma, or unexpected transitions can shake the ground beneath us—leaving us searching for balance, meaning, and a way forward. I know what it’s like to navigate profound change, and I help people rebuild—not by erasing what’s happened, but by learning how to live with it. Together, we create a foundation that’s strong enough to hold your pain and stable enough to support your healing, growth, and hope.

Services

I offer a range of trauma-informed and experiential services, including:

  • Individual Coaching for grief, trauma, and difficult life transitions
     
  • Equine-Assisted Learning for somatic healing, presence, and emotional regulation
     
  • Mentorship for Coaches to feel grounded, competent, and confident in Trauma-Informed and Solution-Focused practice
     

Each experience is customized—meeting you where you are and supporting where you’re ready to go.

Our Work Together

Our work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for your journey. You’ll feel seen, supported, and safe, while building tools to:

  • Find calm and clarity
     
  • Rebuild trust in yourself
     
  • Regulate stress and ground your body and mind
     
  • Discover meaning and purpose
     
  • Reclaim moments of joy, even while healing
     

Healing isn’t about going back to who you were—it’s about becoming who you’re meant to be now, step by step.

Why “Strong and Stable”?

Because healing takes both:

  • Strength to face what’s hard
     
  • Stability to ground yourself and steady your emotions
     

Over time, these qualities work together to help you rebuild with grace, self-trust, and resilience.

A Gentle Invitation

If you’re ready—or even just curious—I’d be honoured to walk beside you. Reach me at nikol@strongandstable.ca.

Together, we’ll create a future that’s strong, stable, and full of possibility—even amidst the scars.
Even in the deepest ache, there is still light.
