Health and wellbeing support to help Auckland business owners get their zest back
If you’re a business owner in Tāmaki Makaurau, then chances are you’ve had a tough run.
From lockdown, to vaccine passes, staff shortages, or simply juggling work with homeschooling the kids, the impacts of Covid-19 have left many business owners feeling stressed, overwhelmed, isolated and under pressure.
How good would it feel to reset your wellbeing and restore your energy, your motivation and your vitality, so you can get back to focusing on your business?
Well thanks to First Steps Auckland, you may be eligible for funding to do just that.
Hi, I’m Wick Nixon, the founder of Wicked Wellbeing – I’m a super passionate foodie, the author of two award-winning healthy kids’ lunchbox cookbooks, a mentor, the facilitator of weekend health retreats and a mother of three teenagers. I work with business owners to help build their confidence, health and vitality.
Through the First Steps funding for Auckland business owners, you have the opportunity to RESET, RESTORE & RETAIN your health for long term change through the Wicked Wellbeing Programme – at minimal cost to you.
First Steps provides access to health and wellbeing support tailored to the many business owners and managers across Tāmaki Makaurau that are feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and under pressure from the impacts of COVID-19.
The Wicked Wellbeing Programme is your opportunity to :
- RESET your health and wellbeing, with 1-1 mentoring support; AND
- RESTORE your energy and vitality on a 2-day weekend wellness retreat in Whananaki; AND

Sounds good right? Let’s find out more!
The Wicked Wellbeing 3-Part Programme includes:
Reset: 3 x 1:1 Mentoring Sessions
– Specifically tailored to your needs –
Often it can be hard to navigate where to start on our own, which stops us dead in our tracks. In these mentoring sessions, we’ll discuss where you’re at with your health and wellbeing, what challenges you’re coming up against, we’ll talk about your roadblocks and then we’ll put some focusses in place for you to work on.
These 1-1 sessions are tailored specifically to your needs where we work together to expand your capacity for a lifestyle change that is sustainable for the long term, where we modify and adjust your intentions as your confidence grows.
The coaching sessions are delivered online.
The programme incorporates tools, resources, accountability, and support, alongside my expertise.
“Having a health coach has been incredible for my own wellbeing! I am more conscious and intentional about looking after myself first, instead of last. In my job it’s important that I lead by example when it comes to my own wellbeing. Having a health coach has meant that I have a beautiful balance between accountability and support to ensure I am not leaving myself behind.”

“I am LOVING being part of the tribe and it’s just really working for me on a motivational level with both exercise and on the food side – I have used all the recipes loads.
