Helping Middle Schoolers Grow into Emotionally Confident Young Leaders

Creative, skill-based programs that guide students in developing emotional regulation, resilience, and self-trust in ways that feel empowering and age-appropriate.

Because Emotional Skills Shape Everything

Middle school is a season of rapid growth.

Students are forming identities, building friendships, navigating academic challenges, and discovering who they are becoming.

When they learn how to identify and regulate their emotions, everything shifts. Their communication improves, confidence strengthens, and challenges feel more manageable.

My Approach

Hi, I am Salena Clay - founder of Salyana Essentials and health & wellness coach who specializes in guiding middle schoolers through preventative emotional skill-building.

Through structured, creative programming, I help students:

• Recognize and name their emotions

• Pause and respond thoughtfully

• Reset when overwhelmed

• Strengthen resilience through reflection

• Build confidence through self-awareness

CREATE Your Vibe™

CREATE Your Vibe™ is a guided wellness experience designed to help students strengthen emotional awareness, build resilience, and develop practical regulation tools in a supportive, engaging environment.

Students leave with strategies they can recognize and apply independently.

Parents leave feeling reassured that their child has real tools.

From Burnout to Boundaries

Botanical ritual care for women reclaiming rest, setting boundaries, and choosing themselves first.

While I guide students in building emotional regulation, I also support the women who nurture, lead, and pour into others.

Salyana Essentials is a handcrafted botanical body care line created for women navigating burnout and reclaiming balance.

Each product is made using intentional, plant-based ingredients designed to transform daily care into grounded ritual.

I create skincare products that are tools for pause, presence, and personal boundaries.
