What is Essential Wisdom™?

Essential Wisdom™ is a unique framework for understanding and utilizing intuition in everyday life. It was developed by Essential Wisdom Coaching’s founder, Mar-y-Sol Salinas-McCoy, after several years of research, combined with personal experience and working closely with others on their personal and professional growth.

Intuition has different meanings for everyone & although many of us have had some sort of experience with this common human phenomenon, there is no singular definition for intuition. Essential Wisdom™ offers one way to understand an embodied form of intuition and is the basis for much of the coaching work offered through Essential Wisdom Coaching. 

Essential Wisdom™ can be understood as:

  • a deep source of knowledge that:
  • incorporates the essence of our Self,
  • is spiritual in nature,
  • is experienced or accessed through the body,
  • and is essential to whole-self development.

Whether working to support clients’ understanding of their own intuition or utilizing it in clarifying how to best support clients, Essential Wisdom™ is the foundation of the work offered here. 

Listen to my interview on the Soulcation podcast, where I shared more about Essential Wisdom™, my work with clients, tips on accessing intuition, and my own journey of growth.
