About Us

Our mission is to ‘Inspire Change and Transform Lives’ by drawing on neuroscience, spirituality and the transformational essence within hope and courage.

Hello, I’m Nikki

I am the Director of Nikki Butler Consulting, born in New Zealand and living in Queensland, Australia. My passion is for children, young people and their families to live happy, safe and healthy lives, reaching their full potential, no matter what they have experienced in life. This passion was ignited within me when I was 21 years old, following my own life experiences and making a conscious decision to change my life path.

I have since provided leadership, consulting and training for over three decades (to more than 300 services and 9,000 professionals) across a range of government, not-for-profit and community services, including child and adult health, education, family support, child disability, child protection, out of home care, sports and local government.

On a personal level, I love studying the connection between the body, mind, soul and spirit and I am inspired by being in nature.

I have qualifications in Social Work (hons), Philosophy (distinction), Professional Supervision and Trauma-informed Coaching. 

Why choose us?
