Meet Salena - Your Partner in Sustainable Wellness and Success

From Corporate Overwhelm to Wellness Innovation

Greetings! I am Salena - wellness entrepreneur, Self-Care Alchemist, and founder of Salyana Essentials.

In 2020, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: walking away from my 6-figure corporate career because success was literally draining my soul. That breaking point became my breakthrough.

Currently completing my health coaching certification and drawing from years of personal transformation work, I discovered that sustainable wellness is not about adding more to your already full plate - it is truly about creating daily practices that actually sustain your energy instead of depleting it.

My Mission

I support high-achieving professionals like you in managing stress and overwhelm through:

• Personalized wellness coaching and support

• Handcrafted wellness products designed for daily ritual practice

• Sustainable practices that honor both your ambition and your well-being

What Makes Me Different

Unlike traditional wellness approaches that ask you to slow down, I support you in exploring sustainable success practices. My clients do not have to choose between achievement and wellness - they learn to fuel their success through intentional self-care practices.

The Burnout Diaries

Every week, I share my unfiltered transformation journey on YouTube, including the messy middle moments and breakthrough insights. It is real talk about healing from burnout and creating a life that sustains you.

You Know When You Feel Like You're Constantly Juggling

You know when you feel like you are constantly juggling work, family, and personal obligations while your own well-being takes a backseat? You are always saying "yes" to everyone else's requests but neglect your own needs?

High-achieving professionals like you deserve sustainable self-care practices that actually fit into your real life. Not add another item on your endless to-do list.

At Salyana Essentials, I can relate to the unique challenges you face. That is why I have created a thoughtful approach that combines personalized boundary-setting coaching with handcrafted wellness products designed specifically for busy professionals who refuse to choose between success and well-being.

My signature collection includes three carefully crafted products: Happy Heart Oil for morning intention-setting, our innovative boundary Reset Sugar Scrub for energetic clearing, and Evening Restore Body Butter for nighttime restoration. Each product comes with ritual guidance to help you create meaningful self-care moments in your day.

Beyond the products, I offer personalized coaching support and will be hosting transformational retreat experiences to help you build sustainable practices that honor your ambitions and your need for restoration.

From Corporate Success to Authentic Living

Background: I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated with an MBA and B.S. in Accounting from Franklin University in Columbus, Ohio. Over my corporate career, I have worked for several Fortune 500 companies in accounting and finance roles, managing both teams and complex financial systems. I also delivered corporate training to hundreds of employees, which gave me deep insight into workplace stress and the challenges high-achievers face in demanding environments.

Despite my expertise in managing numbers and processes, I discovered that my financial acumen and leadership skills were no match for the chronic stress and overwhelm that eventually led to my burnout. The irony was not lost on me - I could balance multi-million-dollar budgets and lead successful teams, but balancing my own life and well-being was a struggle.

Today, I am a proud mom and grandmother - my daughter and granddaughter keep me on my toes and constantly remind me what really matters. They have also taught me that sustainable wellness is about showing up authentically for the people and things you love.

What fuels me outside of work: I am an adventurous spirit who loves traveling and spending time in nature (road trips to the beach are my absolute favorite way to recharge). I love hosting gatherings that bring people together. There is something magical about creating spaces where professionals can connect authentically. If you ever need help planning your next vacation or celebration, reach out!

You will find me strength training in the early morning hours because I have learned that moving my body is one of the most powerful ways, I can manage stress and honor my well-being.

Why this matters for your wellness journey: I can relate to the unique challenges of balancing ambition with well-being because I have lived it. I know what it is like to be successful on paper while feeling empty inside. I also know what it takes to rebuild your relationship with yourself and create a life that actually sustains you instead of draining you.
