Although she thrived at school, doing particularly well at art and sport, she says she never really felt like she belonged. After school, while studying hairstyling, she began using cocaine and became increasingly wrapped up in the world of drugs and alcohol. \u201cI was in a very vulnerable place at the time and my life spiralled, \u201cshe explains. \u201cI realise now that I hadn\u2019t worked through my childhood issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was at this time that Nikita fell pregnant, and with her dad\u2019s help, she returned to her family home in Kokstad. Becoming a single mom wasn\u2019t easy, but it shifted the course of her life completely. \u201cToday I have a beautiful 11-year-old daughter,\u201d she says. \u201cShe\u2019s my saving grace. If it wasn\u2019t for her, I probably wouldn\u2019t have made it. I believe God sent her to me through that pain to save me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nikita slowly but surely started to rebuild her life. \u201cWhen that little girl was born, I took one look at her and everything changed,\u201d she says. \u201cBringing up a child by myself has been so humbling and rewarding.\u201d She opened a small salon in Kokstad and met her husband Chesney, who provided her with the love and support she needed. When Chesney was offered a job in Australia, Nikita and her daughter joined him, but when they returned home to renew their visas in 2020, they found themselves stuck in South Africa because of Covid-19 restrictions. Lockdown, along with financial and emotional stress took a toll on the couple and both of them turned to substances. Chesney booked himself into a rehab facility near Ballito, and this was a turning point for Nikita. \u201cI was left to cope by myself when I actually needed just as much healing and help,\u201d she admits.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-33208\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/04\/image_123650291-320x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/04\/image_123650291-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/04\/image_123650291-336x420.jpg 336w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/04\/image_123650291.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>Having hit rock bottom emotionally, she drove to Grace Family Church, where she eventually reached out for help. There, she joined Project Exodus, a recovery programme, and has been part of the group ever since. \u201cMy healing journey started there,\u201d she says. \u201cThrough Project Exodus, I realised that the drugs and the drinking were never the problem. The true problems are trauma, emotional abuse and abandonment issues. I had a lot of things to work through. I\u2019m still on a journey of healing, but now I have the coping skills.\u201d Nikita credits her faith, as well as the support of her husband, dad and step-mom for her success in turning her life around.<\/p>\n<p>Nikita and Chesney have been in recovery for over two years. In November last year, with Chesney\u2019s encouragement, Nikita opened her new salon. \u201cIt\u2019s a new chapter of hope and restoration,\u201d she says. \u201cI hope when people visit, they feel the true joy that I\u2019m trying to reflect.\u201d Through her work, she\u2019s found a sense of community and is motivated by the people she meets and connects with every day.<\/p>\n<p>Having been through her own journey of healing, Nikita urges others to reach out to others who might be struggling. \u201cIf we see people suffering, we need to ask if they\u2019re ok,\u201d she says. \u201cWe don\u2019t know what people are going through behind closed doors. If we\u2019ve got the capability to help someone, we should do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to her that she breaks the cycle of trauma and addiction for her daughter. \u201cWe can\u2019t raise strong women if we don\u2019t heal ourselves first,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to face our wounds but we have to open them up to find freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> The Artisan Hair Studio; Salt Rock Centre, Salt Rock; 074 923 9543<br \/>\nIG: @<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/the_artisan_hairstudio\/\">the_artisan_hairstudio<\/a>; Grace Recovery Ballito;<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:gracerecoveryballito@gmail.com\">gracerecoveryballito@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photograph:<\/strong> KELLY PRETORIUS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After struggling with depression and addiction for many years, Nikita Schmeltzer has turned her life around and found her true purpose in motherhood.
