Kelly brings 25 years of experience connecting humans to their life force and vitality through a combination of experiential modalities including mindfulness, somatic experiencing and equine assisted learning and therapy. Her nature-based approach lends a sense of safety and support, actively listening and observing subtle and powerful feedback from clients, in order to successfully move through stuck energy within the body. This is sacred work, weaving mind, body and spirit together once again, to bring the incredible human system online completely, opening up a whole new way of experiencing life, with awakened senses and an empowered sense of clarity and calm. For over two decades, Kelly has been on a deeply personal journey to explore this connection and relationship with self, others, and the universe. Whether providing trauma-informed holistic coaching services, partnering with licensed therapists within the relationship of equine-assisted mental health, or leading transformational wellness and corporate retreats, she gratefully provides fellow travelers with support and guidance through powerful healing journeys.

Clients learn to release fear, overcome loss, and reconnect to their body in order to process the lingering symptoms of past traumas. In turn, a sense of internal wisdom returns as life force is released to flow freely. Kelly calls this living through a sense of heart-centered awareness, in which unhealthy patterns, spinning thoughts and self-doubt are released. It is possible to regain a sense of safety and experience joy again. Kelly specializes in: * Overcoming narcissistic abuse from a partner or parent * Loss of confidence and sense of self/identity * Relationship support, new and existing * Chronic illness, pain and TBI’s * Spiritual curiosity and confusion, including negative religious experiences * Loss of partner, pet, job * Recurring anxiety and depression * Childhood neglect, abuse
