My Story
For over two decades, I built a successful career in corporate America — in healthcare, media, technology, and finance. I showed up every day, delivered results, and kept it together for everyone around me. From the outside, I looked fine. On the inside, I was depleted, overextended, and quietly losing myself in the process.
Then life got heavier. Over six years, I lost eight people I loved. Grief became my constant companion. So did chronic stress and a body that was keeping score whether I was paying attention or not. Something had to change.
Why I Do This Work
I stopped coping and started healing — intentionally. I returned to the wisdom my grandmother Mattie had modeled my entire life: that caring for yourself is not a luxury. It is a responsibility. I made real changes. I set boundaries. I stopped shrinking. And I built The Wellness House for every woman who is ready to do the same.
In 2020, I founded Salyana Essentials LLC. I completed my Health and Wellness Coach training through the Institute of Holistic Integrative Studies and earned my NBC-HWC certification — the gold standard credential in professional wellness coaching.
How I Work
My coaching style is collaborative, reflective, and entirely client led. I bring 25 years of corporate experience into every session — which means I understand your world from the inside. I know what it costs to constantly prove yourself. I know what checking emails at 10pm actually feels like. And I know what it means to finally decide you are worth the same investment you give to everything else.
You are the expert of your own life. I am your guide through the house.
"FAQs
Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
Is this only for health and wellness coaches?
Practice with Purpose™ was designed with health and wellness coaches in mind — particularly those preparing for board certification. However, coaches from other disciplines who are setting up their practice for the first time are welcome to inquire.
What if I have already taken the exam?
The session is still valuable. If you have passed your exam and need help setting up your practice, pricing your services, or finding your first client, we can focus entirely on that.
What study preparation guidance do you share?
Salena shares her personal experience preparing for and passing her board certification exam — including the resources she used, the study schedule she built, and the adjustments she made along the way. This is peer guidance based on lived experience, not official exam preparation instruction.
Is this a recurring coaching program?
The program is available as a single 90-minute intensive or as a 3-session package over 60 days for coaches who want deeper support and ongoing accountability.
What is the Coaching Practice Checklist?
It is a comprehensive resource covering every foundational step of setting up your coaching practice — from business registration and legal structure to platforms, payment processing, branding, and growth. Originally created by Salena Clay for new entrepreneurs, it has been updated specifically for coaches.
How do I prepare for the session?
Complete the pre-session intake form sent after booking. Please come ready to be honest, ask your questions, and take notes. You will also receive a shared Google Doc worksheet before the session. We will work through it together in real time during our 90 minutes. You keep access to it after the session as your personal reference and action guide.
Is Practice with Purpose™ affiliated with or endorsed by the NBHWC?
No, Practice with Purpose™ is not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) or any other credentialing body. Study preparation guidance shared during this session is based solely on the personal experience of Salena Clay, NBC-HWC and does not constitute official exam preparation instruction or guarantee any specific exam outcome.
