Nikki Milligan

Co-Founder, Human Flourishing Consultant

In my life I have often been told “you’re the happiest person I know” or “you’re so happy all the time” Am I, was I? Like everyone, my happiness lives on a continuum.. As I started to quietly leave my 20+ year career in 2018, I started to reflect on this, it was the pinnacle for transformation for me, and because I love learning, I went down a rabbit hole! Now, with a rich academic and practical background in positive psychology, happiness studies, and mindfulness, my purpose is to guide people to understand and cultivate lasting happiness and wellbeing, through science and research (ok, i’m a bit of a nerd). Everyone has the inner power to cultivate happiness as a way of life and when we do, we take it to the world.

Having navigated corporate life for many years, working with and leading people and teams, I've seen firsthand how people struggle with stress and balance in fast-paced environments. As a servant leader, I supported my team through these challenges. Now, I'm bringing evidence-based tools and techniques to life so anyone can embrace life's constant evolution.

I thrive on new experiences and diverse interactions, offering fresh, sometimes humorous perspectives. We must embrace the journey of life, playing with its structures rather than being confined by them. Traveling, both literally and through varied experiences, is essential to my wellbeing, as is my dog Finnigan. You’ll often find us on a local trail savouring all that nature has to offer. I would say my approach to life balances play and purpose, finding joy in the unexpected and delight in the journey.
