Creative Soul Healing Podcast

A few years ago I was dealing with some serious, chronic health issues. My doctor’s solution was to prescribe medications by the hundreds. I was driven by this pain to seek a solution other than my doctor’s. One of the solutions turned out to be art.

I started playing and dabbling, taking a few online courses and what I quickly realized is that no matter how much physical pain I woke up with, I didn’t feel any pain once I sat down at my easel. Now, a few years later, pain is no longer a significant part of my life.

It was the release from the pain while I played with the art that gave me hope I could move beyond that pain. I have heard so many stories about how people have used art for healing and changed lives that I am moved to get this message out to anyone who will care to listen.

Jenna, healer, writer and Breathwork Coach, believes in the personal power of oneself and works with each client to help them re-discover their self-love and higher-truth. With an individualistic and holistic approach, she pulls from a toolbox of intuitive thinking, therapeutic conversation, essential oils, crystal healing, and musical sounds to guide students deep into a higher state of consciousness. She has been a student of many master teachers in Buddhist lineages for Meditation, along with a level 4 certified and trained a few times over Breathwork Meditation Instructor and Reiki Facilitator and has been initiated to teach by her mentors for her authentic ability to transmit the teachings of meditation. A natural-born connector, she is also a human development writer regularly published in online publications such as Thought Catalog, Thrive Global & Liminas Magazine, and has been featured in Almost 30 Nation Podcast, Fem Founder, Lanston Sport & South Bay Wellness Magazine.

Jenna teaches private and corporate sessions, workshops, conferences, and retreats working with people to break free from old patterns and habitual ways of being and connect with their authentic selves again. She believes everyone deserves to be their most authentic self, to be the best version they can possibly be, all day every day, and that this is made possible when we dive deep within ourselves. What Jenna appreciates most about her work is the change she feels so privileged to witness in people.

From Jenna: I’ll hear often that people didn’t know where else to turn, that they were in their darkness, in their fear, in their pain was feeling lost, and in coming to my workshops they’ve been able to heal certain wounds, or old stories in their lives that have been holding them back for so long. It’s truly miraculous what can happen when we come together for healing work. People begin to feel heard, feel seen, and when we heal and choose to come back to our hearts, incredible transformation can take place. That’s where we not only make a change in our own individual lives but reaching out onto the world.

Hi, my name is Maha Atef, I’m the co-founder of Selsal online gift store and art school. I’m a self-taught artist with a pharmacy degree. I’ve been designing and making gifts and jewelry with polymer clay since 2013 and for as long as I can remember, I’ve had a great passion for art and drawing. Along with my younger sister Menna, she was a high school student in those days, we started Selsal in 2013.

And for a whole year, I was working in a pharmaceutical company while simultaneously growing my own business. Menna and I were in a position to create a variety of designs for jewelry and keychains. It wasn’t until I realized how much people like our products that I decided to leave my pharmaceutical career behind and own my own business. Despite my family’s worries about such a decision, they have fully respected my will and supported me once I made the leap. With their help, Selsal studio was formed in the ground floor of the family home. And this is how Selsal was born from my desire to finding success at something I am passionate about.

As I love to share my knowledge with people, two years ago, I’ve started Selsal School to do so through a number of online courses in drawing and polymer clay. Through Selsal School online courses, I can share my experience and all that I’ve learned from my mistakes with students from all over the World. And that makes me so excited about what I do. And this also makes me so curious to learn more so I can teach more.

Other info
My online courses in polymer clay and ink markers on Udemy and Skillshare have more than 2000 students from all over the World. And two of my courses have Udemy's badge as "Highest Rated" courses!
