Welcome.

Hello, I’m happy you’re here.

Nourishing Reality is a journal and podcast exploring how to nourish our reality in a busy and overstimulated world. Nourishment comes in all forms but to receive it we have to remain open and aware in every moment. Adopting this type of attitude no matter what we are faced with helps us maintain acceptance, hope, gratitude and manifestation.

In this carefully creative journal, newsletter and podcast l offer bio weekly. l explore aspects of our reality curated from a wide selection of topics. A welcomed retreat from our overstimulated world to a sacred and safe space, where simplicity reins and nature inspires us to reflect on personal narratives. Woven with prompts, poems and rituals to restyle emotions and nourish your reality.

Here are a few of my most popular articles


“Salema masterfully combines intelligent, therapeutic vinyasa with deep, accessible spirituality.”

— Marc Holzman, YogaGlo teacher & founder of Guerrilla Yogi

We are honoured to have Salema as a Daily Greatness Ambassador as she clearly embodies and teaches our message and mantra of "Be Your Own Guru."

Why I love the Dailygreatness Yoga Journal: "As an evolving teacher and practitioner who has been working with Life Coaching and the Law of Attraction for many years, I feel empowered to share how the benefits of applying these concepts can change and shift your perspective in life, love & yoga. The Dailygreatness Journals are a great way to introduce to people, how to apply these principles. Hence, l feel honoured to be asked to become an ambassador for Daily Greatness Yoga Journal.”

Daily Greatness

“Salema’s work at the intersection of Mental Health, Wellness and AI is outstanding. Her knowledge of the subject domains is insightful both near term, and on the longer more visionary time scale. She is passionate about the field as evidenced by her involvement with many other companies and institutions.”

— John Kost Founder @ LVS.ai
