Hola, I’m nadine perez.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, surrounded by a vibrant kaleidoscope of art, fashion, music, and food. Growing up as a first generation ‘NuYorican’ in such a culturally diverse environment has instilled in me a deep gratitude for the richness of our world. The New York melting pot is a constant reminder of life's abundance and the endless possibilities available to everyone.

I am the proud momma of three AH-Mazing teens, who continually inspire me with their innocence, wonder, and boundless potential. Through their eyes, I have the unique opportunity to revisit the magic of childhood, and I consider them my greatest teachers.

Before embracing my current path, I enjoyed a rewarding career in the NYC fashion industry, holding an executive management role that taught me the importance of emotional intelligence. I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey with a ladies' denim collection and recognized how passion is key and later pursued my obsession for interior design as a professional which highlighted my natural talents. These experiences have equipped me with a solid foundation and a diverse set of skills that have supported me throughout my life's journey. It's no surprise that my ambitious nature as a Capricorn Sun and North Node has driven me to continuously seek new and inspiring endeavors.

Faith and spirituality have always played significant roles in my life, guiding me through various phases and transitions. These elements have shaped my perspective and approach, allowing me to connect deeply with others, the world around me but most importantly, my soul.

Si Salt and Soul is my creative playground, a realm where I explore my audacious vision and blend my distinct experiences, natural gifts and spiritual insights to help you infuse spiritual hospitality into your lifestyle. Here, the art of treating your soul like an honored guest becomes an everyday ritual, deeply enriching your life and lifestyle with intention, insight, indulgence and interior harmony.


My Approach

It all begins with a knowing. A deep knowing that you are meant to discover, explore and create beauty, love and joy. Imagine the transformative power of such a belief. Standing at the edge of your dreams, taking that first step into the unknown with a mustard seed of faith. Each step forward fueled by the passion and creativity that comes from within your soul. Envisioning how your world, and perhaps the world of others, might change as you bring your unique vision to life.

Dream it

What if you dared to pursue the wildest ideas that dance in your mind? What could materialize if you chased after your vision? Consider the euphoria that could emanate from being in integrity with your soul and the ripple effect it could have on those around you. When you align with your true purpose, there is unlimited possibility for what you are able to manifest.

Build it

How might you develop and flourish through collaborative creation with your inner self? Embracing the unknown and stepping out of your comfort zone can be daunting, but it's also where the rebirth happens. It’s in these moments of uncertainty that you discover your resilience, ingenuity, and boundless potential. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination.


the meaning and inspiration behind the brand name

Sí translates to "Yes" in Spanish. It serves as a reminder to always say yes to yourself; your hopes, your dreams, and your desires. Inspired by my Latin roots and the homophone of my favorite escape, the sea, it embodies the spirit of embracing life's opportunities and the adventures that await.

salt

Salt, once a luxury commodity available only to the wealthy and used as currency, holds profound symbolic meaning in spirituality. It represents purification, cleansing, sanctification, and numerous healing properties. It serves as a reminder that your most valuable currency is you—your energy. Emphasizing the importance of nurturing and investing in yourself, salt reminds us to cherish and provide for our most vital asset: our well-being.

This inspiration comes from my divine guide, my maternal grandmother's Portuguese surnames, Sosa Salgado, which translate to salt water/salty. Lola’s legacy and my ancestors that came before me are a constant source of guidance and inspiration.

soul

The soul is the essence of a human being, the unconscious energy that drives our existence. It is the core of who we are, the seat of our emotions, desires, and aspirations. At Si Salt and Soul, we honor and nurture this essence, helping you connect with your true self and live a life that reflects your innermost being.
