About Me

 

Hello, I am Salem,
and this is my story…

Get In Touch

I’ve been writing and sharing my deep wild soul whispers online for over 7 years. Words, my voice and expression have been my life since I was a young girl. Unfortunately, for a large part of my life, I allowed an inner censoring voice to silence me into believing I was a dead-end writer who had nothing of value to offer the world. I became accustomed to making and keeping myself small because it felt safer. It felt too painful to face the real me because inwardly I felt flawed, unlovable. I didn’t believe that the world needed my gift of presence, my medicine, my wisdom. Grasping and holding onto things became a way of life because I harbored a fear of lack and scarcity close to my heart.

Not having enough, not being enough, not doing enough became a way of life. It felt safer to live like a captive within the confines of shame and victim mentality than to step into my own creative power. Life became all about functioning, surviving and getting by.  It defined every aspect of who I became. Perhaps, you the reader, can relate since most of us at one time or another have struggled with similar fears and emotions. For me, this kind of fear stems from a culture and society of colonization and patriarchy which has embedded scarcity into our minds as a means to control and diminish our power.

I reclaim my deep wild nature by taking responsibility for my well-being and making it my first and foremost priority.

The truth is that life only began to change when I learned to acknowledge and accept the natural flow of my life.  I’ve needed to make peace with it over and over. Mother Earth has become my greatest teacher. I’ve learned to let go of the need to rigidly arrange my life. Through the practice of self-forgiveness and patience, I cultivate courage, truthfulness, compassionate mindfulness, and connection in order to rise up each day. It is what I like to call the gift of presence.

My Purpose & Vision

I’m a Xicana poet, writer, educator, speaker, and holistic energy coach. My purpose is to support you to reclaim your deep wild nature as your energy flows into alignment with your intuition and creative power to seed a life that thrives and flourishes alongside the cycles of Mother Earth. I hold a BA degree in Communication Disorders as well as a Masters degree in Education. My academic background also includes a five year study in art therapy. I completed my life coaching at the ICF-accredited Beautiful You Coaching Academy. There I was trained and mentored by founder, Julie Parker, amongst other outstanding coaches and entrepreneurs.

My vision is to help aspiring womxn and femmes, experiencing transformation, who need and want  a sense of balance with what is present in their lives and what they envision for their future. I guide whole-hearted indivduals to engage and face their vulnerabilities so that they find the inner strength to harness their courage and confidence to move forward. This means facilitating a space where they can soften, loosen and shed boundaries that they no longer need or that no longer serve a function in their life. I hold space for human beings willing to commit themselves to create new boundaries that support healthy growth while connecting with their “deep wild” essence.

A Poet, Writer, and Activist

We heal together when we share our stories. Story is medicine.

I often share my poetry and writing in order to raise awareness, honor and protect what is sacred on this earth. My passion for social justice and healing has been ignited and it is my intention to connect and collaborate with others to foster growth and wholeness through creating and nurturing community, while being an active and compassionate presence as we rewrite the unfolding narrative of our lives and our collective stories.

It is a sacred honor and privilege to acknowledge and draw from my own rich, indigenous heritage of Yaqui lineage entwined with Germanic/Spanish European roots to share the medicine of my own story with you as a Xicana woman. I’m truly grateful to have the opportunity as a Holistic Energy Coach to serve, support and hold space for you and your journey. It is my hope that you experience vibrational shifts to a higher magnetic frequency as you step into your own deep wild nature.

It is my mission to connect people with their natural beauty and excellence as a way to forge a deep wild path into their wholeness while honoring what is sacred in their life. It brings a sense of humanity and dignity to our whole existence on this planet. We heal together when we share our stories. Story is medicine. It is what living an intuitive, creative, energetic life is all about through setting clear intentions and healthy boundaries so that we can mindfully and compassionately grow and thrive knowing that we are enough.

I am so grateful, for the gift of your presence and the medicine of your story!
