Main Areas: Counseling, Coaching, Motivation, The quest for happiness and purpose!
Career Focus: Founder of Soul Salon International, Author, Speaker and Radio Host
Affiliation: Founder Soul Salon International teacher at The Mindfulness Center

Soul Salon International’s Founder Rena Reese, understands and communicates the unmistakable link between spiritual vitality and physical health. When
you are spiritually out-of-shape, all that you create in the physical
world is impacted. But when your spirit is thriving, you are better
able to attract the people, events, "luck", health and abundance that
you desire.

It became apparent to Rena, after years of deeply connecting with
people, that we all want the same things in life. These are to live a
life of purpose, happiness, fulfillment and contribution. In addition
we share many of the same roadblocks. Addressing these very truths,
Soul Salon International is a powerful tool of change and awakening for
anyone ready to participate in the huge global shift in consciousness
happening right now.

Rena Reese is radio host, author, speaker, trained counselor, (Johns Hopkins
University 1994) and Life Coach, (Coaches Training Institute 2005) in
addition to being named a 2004 EAS Body-for-Life Grand Champion. Her
connections with people from many walks of life inspired the creation
and growth of Soul Salon International. What began as a personal quest
developed into a passion. That passion was infused into several books
and the books have forged a movement. Why? Soul Salon International
believes it is because we are all seeking greater meaning and joy in
life. We are being Divinely nudged toward our spirit’s quest for
peace, alignment, growth and connectedness.

After teaching children for nearly 20 years, Rena left the classroom to use her spiritual gifts full time. She is dedicated to helping people heal, live blissfully and achieve a life of purpose. Her teaaching, counseling and lifecoaching skills blend perfectly with her spirtual gifts to tune people into the nudgings of their spirits.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rena Reese

When you are ready to make changes aligned with your spirit, the
universe conspires to support you. You will be led on the path to the
right people, perfect places, abundant opportunities, and exactly the
experiences you need to support the vision of what you want.
All you have to do meet those people, go to those places, take those opportunities and sieze those experiences!

---Rena M. Reese

What a great day it will be when the diet section of libraries are lined with books on making skinny souls fat, rather than fat bodies skinny...If you do not address the reasons depression, ill health or a poor physique crept into your cells, those reasons will rear up and offer resistance to you after you experience a taste of joy and victory on ANY diet program.

----Rena M. Reese

The Soul Salon

When we come here we seem to be helpless babies yet to discover what the world is about. It
may appear that we incarnate as a blank slate as philosopher John Locke
theorized, waiting to be etched upon through experience. Surely our experiences reveal, develop and highlight our gifts, but we come here infused with what we have to share with the planet, just as surely as we are given a heartbeat. The
good news is that we are not expected to blindly venture out and
discern who we are and what we are here to do all for ourselves without
support. We are guided with great love from God and a communication
system so advanced it requires no wires or equipment.

Your definition of God may differ from mine but that is not important in understanding your guidance system. Simply put, we arrive here with all we need to live our purpose. We
have our gifts and abilities that are packed in our spiritual suitcase
just as surely as our DNA is infused in every cell of our body. And
just as real as our digestive system and circulatory system we have an energy system to help us check in with our spiritual and physical health. When
we are born, the greatest tool we come fully equipped with, is our
connection to the divine, to God. This connection, in the form of our Divine guidance, is a constantly available source of information and feedback, a sort of inner counsel. If we seek guidance or even allow guidance we will always be connected to our source, the Divine. In addition we will be supported as we seek to live our purpose, make decisions, heal, and thrive.

Blocking the guidance, ignoring the guidance and closing yourself off from Divine guidance has consequences. These consequences can take the form of physical illness, depression and an unfulfilled, dispassionate life. We may unwittingly ignore guidance because we think it is not really guidance, but rather the imaginings of our subconscious. Or perhaps we may feel we are not worthy of a connection to the divine, therefore we doubt from where our intuitions come. I
think it is most often the case that we are open to hearing guidance
but we are not so sure what it looks and sounds like or we know we will
have to act on it if we acknowledge it. That can be a scary notion in some situations.

So, what does Divine guidance look and sound like? Most
often we are guided through even the simplest of things. Recognize that
using the divine guidance fully available to you is to use a tool of
immeasurable value that can change your entire existence and re-route
your entire life!

Your Divine guidance could be:

· The sudden urge you get to turn left, taking an alternate way home.

· The recurring push you feel to write that book

· The draw you feel to move to a city

· The nagging feeling you have that it is time to end a relationship

· That business you want to begin or property you want to buy or sell

· The recurring dream you have been having

· The inspiration for an invention that you are sure you must create!

· The seemingly random thought to call an old friend

· The song you keep singing and cannot get out of your head

Your guidance is not just the wishing of your subconscious mind; it is a divine nudging! So
many coaching relationships start with clients stating they know they
are unhappy but are clueless as to what they must do to bring their joy
back. These people sincerely have no idea what they want to do, who
they want to be with, what their gifts and skills are, or what really
makes them happy. They have shut themselves off from this guidance
system and likely because they heard the guidance all along, but chose
not to hear it for a myriad of reasons. Thankfully guidance is like a faucet, it is always possible to open it up and once again start the flow. When you pray for guidance on a particular issue and you really want it, you will begin to get the messages.

And then, when you get a hint, a nudge or an intuition about where your
greatest happiness can be found, ACT ON THAT guidance. It does not
take a monumental overthrow of your present life to begin the momentum
toward the life you want to create. Pick one thing you can do to begin
to walking toward what you want.

~ Research real estate listings in the city you'd like to relocate to
~ Polish your resume for the job hunt
~ Buy the domain name to match the business you want to start
~ Begin the book you want to write by opening a file on your computer, creating a cover page and table of contents.
~Check out a book and read more about backpacking Europe!

People who have arrived at their happy place did not just wake up there
one day. They made consistent small steps in the right direction over
time. Every step counts and every thought counts.
