HELLO LOVE, WELCOME.
My Name is Kelsey.
I help you and your loved ones feel more safe and capable so you can face what scares you, move through life's challenges with greater ease, and live the life you desire most.
MY STORY
I was born into a family on the verge of separation.
My father fell in love with another woman while my mother was pregnant with me and I do believe her feelings during this time affected me and my arrival to the world, as I was born 2 days after her feelings were confirmed about the betrayal. After I was born, my parents immediately began their divorce.
At 5 and a half months old, I became deathly ill with bacterial spinal meningitis.
Though the doctors warned of learning challenges and loss of hearing, I received physical and mental support in many ways.
Brain Gym, Writing, Nature and Spiritual Connection (my healing tools) continually helped me reconnect and show up as best I could.
These tools helped me:
Navigate my large combined family,
process losing a grandparent to suicide at age 7,
heal from watching a friend get hit by a car and die at age 9,
& recover from PTSD - with the help of EMDR therapy - at 19 when I remembered a repressed sexual abuse trauma from my childhood.
My journey led me across the world, and to many disciplines and teachers. I have been blessed to teach and work with all types and all ages of humans.
All of this leads to my Main 2 goalS:
1) Share tangible tools that help you & the people you love feel more at ease physically.
2) Share techniques that help you & the people you love face & move through outdated mental, physical & emotional patterns.
These two things help my clients step further into their power and stand in a life that feels abundant, aligned and authentic to them.
