Beloved, I know you want to bring your culture-making work into the world without abandoning yourself to make it.

And to build a more love-based future without burning yourself out in the process.

And to be fully seen in your power without overriding the parts of you that are scared to be seen.

Here’s the truth:

You can’t create a radically different future by abandoning yourself to create it.

The work asks you to meet edges.

To be seen in ways you haven’t been seen before.

To choose differently than you’ve chosen before.

To hold more pleasure, power, desire, responsibility, visibility, and aliveness than you may have had models for.

And when you meet those edges, sometimes you’re going to contract, dim, or want to run. Our bodies love to protect themselves

Contraction isn’t the problem, looping in it is.

So babe, if you’re gonna contract, contract into resource.

Learn how to come back to the well parts of yourself. To meet the parts that want to hide, fight, flee, freeze, mask, or perform. To let yourself be nourished there.

So when you’re ready to emerge again, more of your power is available to you.

And that is why I invite you to visit Self Devotion.

Because I want you to have a predictable way to meet yourself at the edges of the magnificent life and work you’re creating.

And to keep breaking cycles without breaking connection with yourself.

And to feel resourced, pleasure-filled, and powerful while you do.

Because sometimes you know you’re at an edge, you know you’re contracting, and you still don’t know how to find your way back to yourself.

That’s where I come in.

Bring me the edge you’re meeting right now.

For 60 minutes, we’ll slow down and listen to what your body is saying underneath the fear, the bracing, the urge to hide or push through. We’ll meet the parts of you asking for care, find what feels resourcing and life-giving, and practice a way of being with yourself that you can return to when the next edge comes.

You don’t need to come knowing what you need.

That’s my work.

I’ve spent the last eight years working with bodies and the last five studying and practicing somatic trauma resolution. I know how to listen with you, follow what emerges, and help you find the resource, pleasure, and power that are already yours.

Because I want you to have a predictable way to meet yourself at the edges of the magnificent life and work you’re creating.

And to keep breaking cycles without breaking connection with yourself.

And to feel resourced, pleasure-filled, and powerful while you do.

Self- Devotion Initial Visit
A Micro Dose offering of my Greatest Medicine

“Salyna Cole is the magical sorceress of somatic work. 

I bring her what feels like intractable distress -- once about feeling rejected  in my business and once about feeling abandoned after the loss of my mother and grandmother -- and she  cocks her head, raises her eyebrow and says, "I wonder what that part wants." 

Next thing I know, I'm curled up in a ball on the floor, crying into a rag doll; or speed-drawing cartoon faces of five different kinds of anguish, or some other unexpected adventure. 

And just as suddenly, the distress is gone. Like I literally can't find it. And I find myself wondering what happened so fast.

Work with Salyna if you want to heal in a way that you never could have found by yourself.” -Alice Leibowitz

“Since working with Salyna, I have been able to set boundaries with intention and cultivate/strengthen the relationships in my life. I’ve also been able to cull relationships that have not served my highest good. I have learned a lot about myself and how to articulate my feelings and needs. I’ve grown in my purpose with purpose.” - Rochelle Hughes
