I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.

— Walt Whitman

I am a vortex of potential and contradictions.

I am guided by my intuition and acute sensitivities.

Success to me is when I am a part of the flow of passing forward the experiences I have come to understand as necessary for living the fullest life possible.

My given name is Salome (Peace) Amoore (Love) Steinmann (Stoneman). It’s a curious thing to have lived my entire life with this name, and to have come into my work in the world that revolves around these concepts of peace, love, and solidity. There have been so many twists and turns on my life path that have led me here, writing this letter to you. But how shall we begin? How does any one human being tell their story of who they are? Some would say it is impossible to do so. However, in the interest of starting a conversation with you, here are some highlights.

I was birthed the eighth child into a conservative Mennonite community, where submission, happiness and transparency are demanded, and uniformity of clothing and belief is required. When kids my age and even my younger sister were baptized and vowed to uphold the standards, I chose not to join. I asked questions that challenged the broken system, and in return I received, “Well, it has always been done this way.” This never sat right with me, even as a young child, having been surrounded by these teachings my whole life. Where did this contradictory knowing within me come from? As time passed, my choice not to join made me seen as a potentially bad influence, that could contaminate innocent minds. When my sister Amanda was accused of looking at a male classmate, she was given unheard of punishment, more violent than the common spankings, and she was kicked out of school. For the first time in my young life, I was seething with rage. The injustice of the church leaders and school board was on full display. No one was listening to my sister or my parents. Instead the authority was given only to the teacher who had a crush on my sister. I vowed to myself to never to join a community that only values people in power. Justice resides where every voice is heard.

So at age eighteen, against the pleading of the entire world I knew, I packed up my limited belongings including a cell phone, sewing supplies, a crocheted blanket from my Mother, the Mennonite dress on my body, and my life savings of $400. I was armed with equal amounts of fear and determination. Getting into my older sister Dinah’s car, I looked up to see my father crying, distraught with my choice, something I had only seen once before in my life. My heart was breaking while simultaneously feeling a deep sense of freedom and peace.

My work now is to bring ease, fun, playfulness, and dare I say indulgence, to transformation and change. I am a portal of felt awareness, in tune with energetics. I’m armed with tools to access the deep subconscious, then play to integrate them flawlessly into the present, almost effortlessly unlocking an acceleration. This is razor-sharp, focused, surgical work that creates movement. It is change work that works, based on a collection of tools from EMDR, EFT, NLP, and conversational meta patterning.

Looking back now, I see how so many of my skills were present in random aspects of my life. Growing up on a farm, I had a lifetime of looking for ways to help and the need to be efficient. With my instinctually attuned, strategic brain, I unconsciously noticed people and details. I remembered hundreds of people’s orders at Starbucks. I would simply make eye contact with them in line, they would nod, and I would make their order before they reached the counter. Nationwide directors came to observe how I set up the store because I had created the most efficient protocol in the country. I have scrubbed toilets, cleaned homes, and built businesses all while traveling the world modeling luxury. Simultaneously I was also a post birth doula, teaching first time parents how to breastfeed, and most importantly observe & trust their instincts. Since I was a child I have been a master of non-verbal communication. I am a baby whisperer, I can understand and work well with horses both domesticated and wild. Being immersed in nature has all shown me how to observe rhythms, patterns, and how energy moves and connects us intrinsically. During a stint being a communication liaison at a heavy tech startup for tier one banks, I was offered an opportunity to live with someone leaving a mental hospital after years in different treatment centers, and the impact of this work on my client and myself was incredibly successful, fulfilling, and full of not-yet-accessed possibility.

I unknowingly had found my current niche, working closely with people to unfold themselves into their lives in new and important ways. Working to create pathways from what had previously felt like brick walls.

Since then, medical teams have flown me around the world, production companies have brought me on board to support lead actors’ processes, high net worth families have invited me to stay with them for weeks while sorting out complex dynamics. I am able to assist family systems to work through major transitions, implement new ways of looking at patterns, and enjoy the simple important priceless pleasures like a sunsets. It is hard for me to describe what exactly happens, but whatever it is, it is a sensation that feels deeply familiar to me because I have been doing it in big and small ways since I was a little girl. Creating harmony by being a portal of presence. Helping people around me lean into accelerations of transformation. Uncovering enduring magic within the self and within life as a whole.

By offering loving, non-judgmental spaces of curiosity using playful, subconscious-accessing tools, it allows people to find their own truths and to trust those truths. It is a gift to be present in the simple details, and witness the unlimited resilience in each soul. I consistently learn from each opportunity, holding space for the indulgent re-birth which is also a simultaneous death of something else.

A few questions you’ll find me asking:

What is possible when you indulge in being intensely present?

What if you knew how to sense the world?

What if you could be directly connected with moments you feel alive, with people you enjoy, with experiences that resonate?

What if we built communities that nourished anyone and everyone?

What if we invested in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe?

What if instead of polluting and destroying what supports us, we nourished and sustained?

What if you knew that if you are committed to your personal alignment, that you create more alignment within the greater system?

What meaning do we take from the beauty of a sunset?

To me it all revolves around feeling. It is simplicity. It is connection. It is practice. It is a moment to moment choice to feel, and to choose love and care. These are the technologies we need for our future. This is why I am so passionate about what I do.

I will leave you with the words of an actress I supported. These words embody my goal to be kind because we are all humans doing the best we can.
“Salome: the most genuine person I have ever known, completely and utterly uncorrupted by selfishness or greed or malice. Salome is in the game of life only to get out of it the joy of connection to the people she loves, the natural world, healing herself and others. She isn’t phased by any of the modern world’s devilish accoutrements. She tackles new adventures and learns new skills without fear or ego.”

My desire is to continue to do this work in the world, because it is truly the most indulgent form of luxury I can imagine. Connecting with human beings and walking together through this portal of lessons and learnings we call life.

Join me.
