Meet Your Inspiration Giver and Wellbeing Educator

Hello, Rays of Light!
​
I am Nikei S. Salas, and I’m here to help you enjoy more of your life. I am here to inspire through my life and words.
​
I walk this life as a Storyteller, Inspiration Giver, and Wellbeing Educator. I am someone shaped
by crossroads, carved by lessons, and lifted by knowing that living life more fully is always possible. My journey
has been both professional and deeply personal. As a former nurse, I witnessed firsthand the intricate connection between the body and the unseen layers of healing. In that time I noticed that people needed more than physical treatments; they were in need of care for their souls.
I have learned from my past. I combined my own life teachings with the curriculum taught at Purdue University, where I studied Health & Wellness with a minor in Sociology. It deepened my understanding of how our environments, communities, and inner worlds shape our wellbeing thus creating our lives. Together, these experiences have taught me that the state of wellbeing arises when the body, mind, and spirit are in harmony—and when we honor the wisdom rooted in our lineage, which is embodied within our cells, we live better.
​
I pour these teachings into my writing and wellbeing education. As the author of Black Girl Gone Guru, He Poisoned Me and Left Me for Dead, and The Trees Married Them, my work invites readers into transformation—not just through insight, but through lived experience. I write so you don’t feel alone in your human story. I speak so you can reconnect with your inner voice to guide you throughout your life. The inner voice, your spirit, always knows what is best for you. And I coach so you can step fully into your life with clarity, courage, and peace.
​
For me, wellbeing isn’t just a concept; it’s a practice. It is an ongoing process of restoration, creating new pathways both internally and outwardly. I believe that when you understand your inner landscape, you don’t just transform your life, you transform the world around you. You become a magnet for abundance, joy, and deeper meaning.
​
To add, I also love exploring the world and connecting with souls from across cultures. It is my lifelong education. Each journey expands my understanding of life and deepens the work I share with others. Traveling, witnessing the diversity of human experience, and embracing different perspectives fuels my growth, strengthens my empathy, and enriches my connection to humanity.
​
Let’s live better.
Be well. Enjoy life!
