Meet Salma

Salma Schempp's purpose is rooted in sharing the knowledge and practice of holistic meditation while exploring the art of design. Drawing from her diverse studies at international meditation schools and her personal holistic meditation practice, she firmly believes that understanding the theory and experiencing the essence of holistic meditation can profoundly impact the mind's ability to retrain itself (neuroplasticity) and effectively manage unsettled emotions—often linked to anxiety and depression.

Her holistic approach emphasizes the vital connection between mind, body, and soul while nurturing overall well-being and emotional intelligence. She highlights the crucial importance of identifying both our weaknesses and strengths in cultivating a deeper understanding of unnecessary human suffering.    

In 2004, Salma collaborated with her primary doctor as a Preksha meditation therapist, assisting patients struggling with anxiety and depression. During this period, she organized numerous holistic wellness events for the community, including a successful program at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek, California.

From 2006 to 2015, Salma served as CEO and Director of the Alternative & Holistic Health Center in Walnut Creek and Fremont, California. During her tenure, she worked closely with integrative medical doctors, taught meditation, and offered a variety of holistic therapies. In 2008, she also designed and launched her first meditation collection.

Between 2015 and 2022, Salma served as a meditation therapist at the Holistic Health Center of Walnut Creek, where she led the Stress Management Program. Through one-on-one counseling in holistic meditation therapy, she guided individuals suffering from anxiety and depression toward a deeper understanding of meditation and addressed common misconceptions about the practice.   

Salma currently serves as an educator in the Lifelong Education program at Mt. Diablo Unified School District, where she supports adult learners in continuing their personal and professional development. 

Salma's innovative efforts and lifelong commitment to holistic meditation continue to inspire others to harness the incredible power of their minds and the natural healing intelligence of the body.
