Dr. Bernice Sykes, also known as “Doc Bunny,” is a certified life coach, Army veteran, mother, workshop leader, and founder of DocBunny’s Ki Builder. Based in Reno, Nevada, she works with clients across Northern Nevada and through virtual coaching worldwide.
Dr. Sykes helps veterans, first responders, professionals, older, adults, and people facing major life changes. Her work focuses on anger management, emotional wellness, career growth, spiritual fitness, leadership, and personal development.
She holds a PhD in Holistic Life Coaching from the University of Sedona, in conjunction with the University of Metaphysics. She also completed life coaching training through both schools as part of her studies in holistic, spiritual, and metaphysical wellness.
Before becoming a professional coach, Dr. Sykes served in the U.S. Army for more than nine years, from 1995 to 2004. She worked in Aviation Operations, where she built strong skills in leadership, planning, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Dr. Sykes began her professional coaching work in July 2018. She first founded 19SeventySix Coaching and later expanded her work through Doc Bunny’s Travel Service and DocBunny’s Ki Builder.
Her coaching method supports the whole person mind, body, emotions, daily habits, and spiritual life. She believes lasting change begins when people understand their inner energy, learn to manage emotional triggers, and take clear action toward a healthier life.
Her services include:
Dr. Sykes uses structured action plans, clear accountability, meditation, attitudinal healing, and firm but caring guidance. Her goal is to help clients move through major life transitions with more confidence, clarity, and peace.
She also shares practical lessons through Monday Lunch With Doc Bunny, spiritual anger management training, and educational videos on the Doc Bunny YouTube channel.
What makes Dr. Sykes different is her mix of military discipline, spiritual study, real-world service, and whole-person coaching. She does not offer quick promises. She helps each client understand the problem, build a clear plan, and take steady steps toward peace, power, and purpose.
Build your inner strength. Find your direction. Move forward with purpose.
