About me
Nikki Meraki Kyjevska
Ahoj! My name is Nicola Meraki Kyjevska, also known as Nikki. I am a heart-led creator, artist, herbalist. My mission and passion in my life is to remind others of self-love and healing, compassion, sharing love, and finding authentic expression in any form that feels good to you.
I am self-taught artist and as my main medium is woodburning, drawing and digital art.
My artistic expression and approach to herbalism are influenced by herbal and fungi folk knowledge I gratefully received from my mother and grandmother. Since 2020, I have also begun studying herbalism and other healing modalities independently and under other practitioners.
My work offering Intentional tattoos and Womb healing has been a natural progression on my path.
My story
As I am walking the path I am unraveling what it is to be human with all its ebbs and flows. Art, and seeking knowledge in any form was always my way of expressing and healing.
After realizing I needed a change I moved to Canada in 2019 in search of a sense of home and center within myself. I currently live in Nelson, BC where I'm able to deepen my relationship to the earth, fungi and herbal and plant medicines.
​
My art and offerings are reflections of my journey back to my heart. They mirror my connection with the deeper self, natural wisdom, the embodiment of feminine energy, and cultivate a respect and reciprocity with nature.
​
My hope through my work is to allow others to reconnect with their heart and help them find the light within themselves.
