Healing from the inside out with Splankna Therapy and Nutrigenomics
Kathrine Salah, CNC
Hi! I’m Kathrine! I love life. I love people. I love hearing people’s life stories and the entangling of one’s past with one's current life, and how it molds and shapes one's future. I am fascinated with family history and bloodlines. Speaking of blood, isn’t it the best thing in all the land that a man named Jesus died on the cross to save us all from the sin in our lives… and our ancestors’ sins? Why should we care about our ancestors’ sins? Because their sin is strangely interwoven into our lives through a thing called epigenetics!
Welcome to my site! I am a Certified Nutritionist specializing in Nutrigenomics and a Splankna Therapy Practitioner. I dive into my client’s genetics looking for vulnerabilities to disease, AND I dive into my client’s subconscious looking for emotional vulnerabilities from their trauma or from ancestral trauma that has been passed down through the DNA. This is what we call epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression. Our subconscious is the master database that carries the memory, while our DNA carries the code. Our body is fabulous! We all strive for excellent health, peace, connection, creativity, ambition, success, rest, joy, and hope. All these things complete us. But sometimes we just can’t get past our tendencies toward failure, whether in our health, relationships, or the odd, painful consistencies in life. That’s where I can help you discover the root of your condition, physical or emotional.
I have been married to Ray for 30 years. We spent the first several years of our married life overcoming our past trauma and becoming undone so we can become more of our true selves in Christ. We continue to tear down generational strongholds and teach many others to do the same! We have raised 2 gorgeous daughters whom we delight in! We fiercely love Jesus and strive to change the trajectory of our past into a glorious future with our family! We are grateful for the restoration, simplicity, and peace Jesus has given us.
My favorite things are shopping with my daughters, early morning runs, and watching the sunset at the lake with my extended family.

Splankna Therapy
Splankna is a biblically based Christian mind-body protocol that releases trauma and negative emotions from the body and soul. It is centered around the Holy Spirit’s leading and uses the tools of EMDR, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Thought Field Therapy (Emotional Freedom Technique), Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing), and intentional prayer.
Splankna's work brings together the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of an issue all at once. This “whole person” approach can often facilitate change at a deeper level than more traditional methods. When body, soul, and spirit work together, the potential for change is maximized.
Every moment we experience is stored in the body at the frequency level, much like a hard drive. Emotional symptoms come from traumatic moments in our lives and the memories and emotions the body stores in response. Current situations trigger old, stored emotional trauma frequencies, and we overreact. The body IS ABLE to release these emotional frequencies. In Splankna therapy, we ask God to lead us to these stored emotional frequencies through applied kinesiology(muscle testing). Muscle Testing assesses the frequency of the energy released from the nucleus of the cell.
Splankna helps the client discover destructive vows and lies that were adopted in response to the trauma. Those are broken in prayer, and new, healthy ways of responding emerge and replace old patterns.
One by one, the stored emotions from the root trauma are released so that the fuel behind a current symptom is resolved. Over the last 25 years of Splankna’s development, practitioners have witnessed several different issues resolved, including anger, anxiety, addiction, sexual problems, depression, autoimmune disorders, and spiritual issues.
I am also certified in Listening Splankna, where sessions are virtual and do not use applied kinesiology (muscle testing). These appointments are reserved for those outside the Houston area.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Splankna is the Greek word σπλάγχνα (splanchna, plural of σπλάγχνον / splanchnon), which literally translates to the inward parts, viscera, or bowels (such as the heart, lungs, liver, and intestines). Splagchnizomai (σπλαγχνίζομαι) is a powerful New Testament verb meaning "to be moved in the bowels" or to have a deep, gut-wrenching, visceral response of compassion (frequently used to describe Jesus's reaction to suffering). Splankna Therapy uses the word to express the subconscious, which handles thoughts, memories, fears, and habits that do not enter your immediate focus. It quietly shapes your reactions, emotional responses, and decision-making without your deliberate control.
-
Everyone is different, but most of my clients see a shift after the first session and begin to see dramatic change after 3 to 4 sessions. Those who continue for 12 sessions or more see the most change in every area of their life.
-
Splankna addresses the emotional roots that may contribute to physical symptoms. Many clients report improvements in chronic pain, sleep issues, digestive problems, and other physical concerns after releasing stored emotional trauma. However, Splankna does not diagnose or treat medical conditions.
-
Yes. Splankna is gentle, non-invasive, and honors your pace. You remain in control throughout the session. We never push, force, or retraumatize. The goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your nervous system can release what it's ready to release.
-
Splankna is beneficial for individuals of all ages. Because the subconscious mind begins developing in the womb, this work can support even the youngest lives. I have partnered with pregnant mothers looking to shield their unborn babies from gestational stress, and my practice spans all generations—from newborns and young children to elderly adults.
Splankna is a very safe, unintrusive therapy. I like to call it “A beautiful time with Jesus.”
Nutrigenomics
Nutrigenomics is fundamentally a genetic science — one that uses your unique DNA blueprint to explain why your body responds differently to the world around it than anyone else's does.
At its core, it starts with your genes. Every person carries genetic variations that influence how their body functions at a biochemical level. These variations, sometimes called SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), can affect everything from how efficiently your cells produce energy to how well your immune system manages inflammation. Understanding these variations is the foundation of nutrigenomics.
Gene Expression Is Not Fixed
One of the most important insights from genetics is that having a gene doesn't necessarily mean that gene is active. Genes are constantly being switched on and off — a process called gene expression — and your environment, including what you eat, plays a significant role in controlling that switching. This means your genetic destiny is far more flexible than once believed.
Genetic Variations Drive Individual Differences
Your genetic makeup determines:
How efficiently your body absorbs and metabolizes specific nutrients
Which metabolic pathways function optimally and which are compromised
Your inherited susceptibility to certain chronic diseases
How your immune and inflammatory responses are genetically regulated
From Genetic Risk to Actionable Insight
Where nutrigenomics becomes powerful is in translating raw genetic data into meaningful health intelligence. By identifying which genes are associated with specific diseases or metabolic dysfunctions, it becomes possible to understand not just that a risk exists, but why it exists at the molecular level — and what biological mechanisms are involved.
This positions genetics not merely as a diagnostic tool, but as a roadmap for understanding the deeper why behind your health.

“My Splankna session with Kathrine was life-changing (per usual)! It took me about three weeks to process it all, which is longer than normal. My thoughts can't go places as they did before. I am hearing God's voice more and truly holding his hand as he walks me along the path even if it doesn't make sense at times. I experienced it recently by just listening to his voice and trusting with complete faith.. Splankna has changed my life for the better and the people around me!” ~Amanda“Yesterday was the first day I went somewhere and I was anxious that I’d be anxious if that makes sense. But I put on my Christian music and prayed and sang and by the time I got to the store and started shopping it had faded away. I was fine on the way home. And today we left to go to our property and I was totally fine. Not nervous at all. I’ve felt disconnected from God since my mom died over two years ago (I think I’ve been angry) and during our session, I felt like I felt Him again.“ ~Heather“I feel INCREDIBLE after our session. It definitely was meant to happen. I feel like 60% better . I feel so much more free…and I wanted to let you know our interaction inspired me to write my first children’s book. When you told me to put on the full armor of God with my daughter every morning I wanted to make it fun, so I created a rhyming book to help kids and parents put it on everyday. The next morning after our session a random person told me “make sure you put on the full armor of God each day!” God was sooo within our meeting and pushed me into purpose. I feel revived with My creativity! Thank you!!” ~Alexis
“I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your knowledge and help today. I’ve been so frustrated that I have only been seeming to get worse instead of better. It feels like God is and has been answering some prayers. I just had not been able to see it.
I know that God led me to you for many different reasons and I just want you to know that I am so grateful. You have been so helpful in so many different ways. You’ve been encouraging and I have felt so comfortable with you from the start. I can’t even put into words how much appreciation I feel for you.” ~Jodi
“Dear Mrs. Kathrine,
You have helped me get through so much, and there is still more to come. But I don’t think I would have ever been able to do anything to improve with you. You have permanently changed my life for the better. Thank you,” Z.
"I began seeing Kathrine because I knew things were 'off' with me, and I didn't know how to get to the root of my issues. When I got to know her, I learned that she is not only sensitive to and respectful of God's truths, but also kind, honest, and insightful. That combination of kindness and honesty has made me want to come back to her again and again. And the results of my time with her have truly been life-changing. Sessions with Kathrine have helped me to actually heal from the inside out by God's grace and Spirit. I am calmer now than I've ever been before, and my walk with Jesus is even closer. I have a clarity about my life and direction that I've never had before. I know I'm walking the road He would have for me. If you're unsure about what Splankna is or if it works, or even if Kathrine is the right person for you, I encourage you to give it a try. It might seem 'woo woo', but it really does work, and our good and faithful God is in the midst of it. I'm living proof of that.” ~Donna"I began seeing Kathrine because I knew things were 'off' with me, and I didn't know how to get to the root of my issues.

My eyes have been opened after generational curses have been removed through my Splankna session. I am grateful to Kathrine for allowing the Holy Spirit to move through her. She is insightful in hearing God’s voice and she helped me see myself as God sees me”. ~Ray **If you want to hear more of Ray's testimony here:http“ I had been suffering from extreme abdominal pain, anxiety, weight loss, insomnia, and fear for a year or more. I had visited natural healing doctors and traditional doctors but no one could seem to find any physical reason for my symptoms. One of the doctors we were seeing referred us to Kathrine for Splankna. I will not lie; my mom and I were very skeptical at first when we heard about Splankna, but God is so good! I am doing amazing! After my first session, I began to see changes in my body. The more sessions I had, the better I got! I no longer suffer from any of the symptoms I had before. God has healed me completely! I am now fully aware of what is happening around me. Instead of trying to take on others’ pain and hurt, I pray over them and pray for protection over myself.
I am forever thankful to Kathrine and her kind spirit. She made me feel at complete peace, and I truly felt the presence of God as we went through our sessions. She surrenders herself completely to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to guide her. Her compassion and desire to be a vessel for the Lord are amazing. I am so grateful God put her in our lives.” ~ Elizabeth
“Can’t wait to get back and see what happens next. The memories of my last year of teaching- when I would think back to them before, they would always feel heavy. They don’t feel heavy when I think about them now.” -Teri
