Hello, I’M KELLY

For nearly three decades, I have helped people reconnect with themselves through yoga, meditation, coaching, and embodied practice.

Over the years, my work has evolved, but the questions that inspire me remain the same:

How do we navigate life's challenges with greater awareness and resilience?

How do we move through change without losing ourselves?

What helps us reconnect with what matters most?

My path has included many roles—athlete, yoga teacher, business owner, mother, coach, and now graduate student in Integrative Psychology. Each chapter has deepened my understanding that meaningful growth happens not only through insight, but through relationship: to ourselves, our bodies, our stories, and one another.

Today, my work integrates yoga, embodiment, mindfulness, coaching, and contemporary studies in psychology. Whether we meet in a yoga class, an Integrative Soma Session, or a community gathering, my intention is the same:

To create a space where people feel supported, seen, and invited into a deeper relationship with themselves.

I believe that growth doesn't require becoming someone else.

It begins by coming home to yourself.

What I Believe

Awareness creates possibility.

Our bodies carry wisdom that often speaks before words.

Growth happens through relationship—to ourselves, to others, and to the stories we carry about who we are.

Life's challenges, while often painful, can become invitations to greater resilience, deeper connection, and a more authentic way of living.

Healing is not about fixing ourselves.

It is about learning to meet ourselves with greater compassion, curiosity, and presence.

What Informs My Work

Yoga & Embodiment

For nearly 30 years, yoga has been both my profession and my practice. Through movement, breath, meditation, and embodied awareness, I have witnessed the profound ways people reconnect with themselves when they learn to listen to the wisdom of the body.

Integrative Psychology

My graduate studies in Integrative Psychology continue to deepen my understanding of attachment, developmental psychology, trauma, meaning-making, narrative approaches, and the role of relationship in growth and healing.

Coaching & Personal Growth

For years, I have worked one-on-one with individuals navigating life transitions, burnout, grief, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and questions of purpose and meaning. These experiences have reinforced my belief that sustainable change begins with awareness, not force.

Community & Connection

Some of the most meaningful experiences of my life have happened in community. Through classes, circles, workshops, teacher trainings, retreats, and shared practice, I have witnessed the power of being seen, supported, challenged, and encouraged by others.

Lifelong Learning

I remain a student first. My work continues to be informed by ongoing study, mentorship, personal practice, and more than two decades of teaching and leadership experience.

A Little More About Me

When I'm not teaching, studying, or working with clients, you'll often find me running a trail, walking by the ocean, practicing yoga, singing with my harmonium, or spending time with my family.

I am endlessly fascinated by human growth, meaningful conversation, community, and the ways people make sense of their lives.

These days, I am especially interested in the intersections of embodiment, psychology, attachment, grief, resilience, and what it means to live fully in the midst of an imperfect life.

I believe the work of becoming is lifelong.

And, I am grateful to be walking that path alongside you.
