Hi, I’m Nikki Martinez

I’m the Founder of WellBuilt, a Certified Health Coach and Holistic Chef currently completing a degree in Public Health.

For years, I’ve worked on the front lines of health transformation, helping people create real, sustainable change within the complexity of everyday life.

My work has included supporting thousands of individuals, leading coaching teams, and training other professionals within a national health coaching organization operating at scale.

That experience gave me a deep understanding of what it actually takes to help people improve their health in the real world…not just in theory.

Alongside this work, I have also been a practitioner within the Documenting Hope community (formerly Epidemic Answers) since 2018, a collaborative network focused on understanding and addressing the root causes of chronic illness in children and families. Through that work, I’ve had the opportunity to learn alongside clinicians, researchers, and practitioners exploring the emerging science of chronic illness and recovery.

Over the years, I have also pursued advanced study in functional immunology, deepening my understanding of how immune signaling, cellular health, and environmental factors influence long-term wellness.

My education has come through a combination of formal study, mentorship, and extensive hands-on work with individuals navigating complex health challenges.

Through WellBuilt, I’m building a new model of wellness — one that helps individuals and organizations create resilient health systems that support energy, clarity, and sustained performance.

We are Creating a Culture of Health!

WellBuilt exists because most wellness solutions fail to reflect how people actually live and work.

Too often, wellness in the workplace is delivered through generic portals, apps, or self-led strategies that assume people have extra energy and capacity to figure things out, placing responsibility for implementation on already stretched teams.

What’s missing is real support from real coaches that have advanced level skills, education & experience.

Supporting health isn’t about information alone. It’s about understanding real people navigating real stress, fatigue, shifting energy, family dynamics, and the demands they carry with them into every environment. My work focuses not only on metabolic health and chronic illness recovery, but on how wellness must integrate into daily routines, relationships, and responsibilities to be sustainable long term.

In addition, my background as the spouse of a safety professional gave me firsthand insight into safety-driven industries and the ripple effect work demands have on families. That perspective continues to shape how WellBuilt supports organizations—by supporting the people within them.

Why WellBuilt Exists:

My Pain to Purpose Story:

Before

In the top right photo, she is indoors, wearing gloves, and holding a large fish. In the bottom left photo, she is outdoors, sitting on the sidewalk, holding a small dog, and smiling. In the bottom right photo, she is outdoors in a narrow street, looking up and smiling with her mouth open.

Alongside my professional work, I’m also a wife & mother who understands resilience through lived experience.

Years ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus…a chronic autoimmune disease that left me severely ill and forced me to rethink everything I thought I knew about health. Through my own deep research as a coach, mentorship from leading cellular healing experts & top functional immunologists + consistent application in my own life, I was able to fully reverse my symptoms and reclaim my health, while still showing up for my family and daily responsibilities.

That journey didn’t just restore my health. It changed my life.

It opened the door to living and working overseas for several years, including time in Spain, and gave me a broader perspective on healing & living. One grounded in adaptability, culture, and real-world constraints!

After

The Foundation of WellBuilt:

Through the journey, I’ve helped countless people around the world reclaim their health, energy, and resilience. That experience — professional and personal, is the foundation and fuel behind WellBuilt.

Whether I’m supporting organizations, individuals, or families, my work is guided by the same principles:

  • Coach-led, not automated

  • Root-focused, not surface-level

  • Practical, not overwhelming

  • Designed for real life, not perfection

If you’re looking for support that goes deeper, respects your reality, and creates meaningful, lasting change, I’d love to connect. I’m on a mission to help workplaces thrive by supporting the people and families at the heart of them!
