HI, I’M BRYNN RENNÉ
I’m a follower of Jesus, a wife, a mother, and a woman who deeply understands what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel at peace.
Most days, you’ll find me in my Bible, with my family, cooking nourishing meals, leading a women’s group in my church community, moving my body, or creating a home that feels calm and life-giving.
It’s a full, beautiful, often stretched life — one I know many women can relate to.
My Story
For years, my body sent signals I couldn’t ignore:
brain fog, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, food sensitivities, and more.
I was determined to fix it.
What started as a desire to heal quickly turned into an all-consuming pursuit.
I worked with practitioners, ran tests, followed protocols, eliminated foods, and followed strict diets. I would feel hopeful one week — only to crash the next.
There was no consistency. No peace. No end in sight.
“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we do not give up."
GALATIANS 6:9 NLT
What I Didn’t Realize
At the time, I believed my body needed more effort, more discipline, more strategy.
What I didn’t understand was this:
My body wasn’t just reacting to food.
It was responding to stress.
I was living in a constant state of striving. I was always analyzing, researching, anticipating, and trying to stay ahead of symptoms.
Even though I was doing everything “right,” my nervous system was overwhelmed.
My body didn’t feel safe.
And when the body doesn’t feel safe, it doesn’t prioritize repair.
The Turning Point
Then came a moment I’ll never forget.
A gentle, clear prompting from God:
“Enough.”
And I listened.
Not by giving up on my health, but by letting go of the pressure to control it.
A Different Way - living in new rhythms
I began shifting from trying to fix my body
to learning how to steward it.
I started creating rhythms that aligned with God’s perfect design and naturally supported my body instead of pushing it.
I slowed down.
I focused on what truly mattered.
I aligned my health practices with my faith.
I began shifting from trying to fix my body to learning how to steward it.
I started my mornings anchored in Christ before the demands of the day could take over. I slowed down, simplified what I was doing, and released what was no longer serving me. My biggest mountain to conquer was letting go of food fear — learning to listen to my body instead of control it. And slowly, I created space to actually rest.
It was a completely different way of living. One that required me to grow into a slower, more grounded rhythm — and trust that God's design was enough.

What Changed
As my nervous system began to settle, I started to recognize myself again.
My energy became something I could rely on. Flare-ups grew fewer and further between. Food became nourishing rather than something to fear or manage. And emotionally — I felt steadier, more grounded, more like myself than I had in years.
My body began responding not to pressure — but to safety.
For the first time in a long time, it felt like mine again.
Why I Do This Work
I created Selah & Salt for the woman who is exhausted from trying to fix her body — stuck in cycles of restriction, research, and overwhelm — and longing for a sustainable way forward that doesn't require constant vigilance.
My Approach
Drawing from both formal training in health coaching and gut health — and more importantly, my own lived experience — I guide women toward calming their nervous system, supporting their body without obsession, and creating Christ-centered rhythms that bring genuine alignment to daily life — caring for body, mind, and soul together, the way God designed it.
What I Believe
Many women believe that if they stop trying so hard, everything will fall apart.
I understand that fear because I lived it.
But what I’ve learned is this:
Healing doesn’t come from pressure or perfection.
It grows through rhythm, trust, and wise stewardship.
My Invitation to You
You don’t need to live in constant vigilance.
You don’t need to keep striving to feel well.
There is a different way.
One rooted in peace, not fear.
In rhythm, not urgency.
In faith, not pressure.
It would be my honor to walk alongside you — not as someone who has it all figured out, but as someone who has found the way back and knows the path.
“Dear friend, i hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit."
John 1:2 NLT
Story behind selah & salt
I fell in love with Selah, a beautiful word which appears 74 times in the Bible—71 times in Psalms and three times in Habakkuk. While scholars debate its exact meaning, it is often understood to come from the Hebrew root meaning to pause or to reflect.
The symbolism of salt in Scripture varies, but my inspiration comes from Matthew 5:13 ESV, where Jesus says, “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.”
Practical application of selah & salt
INVITATION TO SELAH
Selah calls us to pause—to breathe, reflect, and be still before God. This is the moment in Scripture where striving stops and the soul listens.
At Selah & Salt, I operate under the belief that rest is not laziness or indulgence. It is obedience, trust, and wisdom. Rest is a time to repair — a time to create safety in the body so true healing can unfold.
BE THE SALT
Salt reminds us to remain rooted in his Word, preserving what is good and living out the purpose for which we were created.
Jesus called us to live set apart - steady, faithful and rooted.
Together, Selah & Salt is an invitation to stillness and faithfulness — a life lived in rhythm, reflection, and obedience, bringing glory to God in all things.
“who is this king of glory?
the lord of hosts, he is the king of glory.
selah”
PSALM 24:10 ESV
“YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH ”
MATTHEW 5:13 ESV
