Life does not always follow the expected path, and a lot of times leads to a fail, or a setback. If willing, education can become the foundation to propel out of the setback and into success. Nicole Starr Bauman, known as Coach Niki, is a U.S. military veteran with three combat deployments, now a trauma-informed life coach and international speaker. After a career-ending injury, she became a recognized expert in Combat PTSD and Compassion Fatigue, holding certifications from the Figley Institute, EFT Universe, and NICABM. Niki is the founder of The PTSD Retreat and has impacted over 20,000 lives through her global trauma recovery work. She currently studies Conservation Law and Environmental Science in New Hampshire, as an Elite Student holding a 3.54 GPA, where she also supports local arts and youth advocacy, through the Granite guild and Protect Us Kids Foundation. Passionate about resilience and transformation, Niki continues to inspire through service, education, and outdoor activities.
