The whole of you.

I’m not good enough.I was fourteen when I decided that about myself, and I believed it for twenty-seven years. Now I speak and teach about the sentence you wrote, and how a person takes it back.

Kikki Avila

I’m Kikki.

I’m a keynote speaker, a teacher, and the creator of the Nirmāṇa Arc™. I also founded Indiefog Naturals and formulate every product myself.

I live with MCAS and celiac, and my Hashimoto’s went quiet. Chronic illness is where all of this started. The work is for anyone who has spent a long time unseen and is ready to start seeing herself.

The teaching

The ceiling was a sentence.

When nobody sees you, you have to explain yourself to yourself. So you write a label with whatever information you have, and that label sets a ceiling. It decides what you charge, what you ask for, and how much room you let yourself take up.

A label is a decision made with the information you had at the time. You are allowed to make a new one.

The room I built

Rooted & Well™

A room for people who already get it. Come as the whole person, however many names you have been given, and find somewhere that somebody moves toward you. This is where people get witnessed, and where they learn to become their own witness.

You were always worth the room you take up. So take it.
