Testimonials:
“ Grief and death are something we’re not used to voluntarily sitting with, but Kelly’s guidance on the subject makes it possible to learn how to hold yourself through these intense parts of life. Even though I had not recently lost anyone, the grief workshop helped my identify other grief that was still not dealt with inside myself. She’s so gentle and comforting, while also being informative and authentic. These workshops truly are for everyone.”

“My experience with Kelly has been nothing short of life changing. I was first introduced to Kelly through a local community workshop she hosted titled “Grace in Grief.” I signed up somewhat on a whim, not knowing exactly what it would be, but I had been going through a recent life transition and struggling with depression and was seeking out any type of support. The workshop was exceptional, I was anxious to be vulnerable in front of strangers, but Kelly immediately set a warm and welcoming tone that made everyone feel at ease. The workshop was incredibly well thought out and offered a variety of resources. We all shared our personal stories, during which Kelly lovingly held space for everyone and offered up her own experience with grief. Kelly’s magic is in her ability to hold the emotions of others in an authentic way, without it being overwhelming. She helps you process just by listening and being there. She also offered a lecture on the different types of grief which was instrumental in understanding the grief I had been experiencing personally, and then helped us work through our emotions in a creative finger-painting exercise. It was clear by the end of the workshop how much Kelly had helped each of us in our grief journey, people were lined up to take a photo with her after just two hours together!
After the workshop Kelly invited me to join her for a one-on-one session. Again, I didn’tknow what to expect but fully put my trust in Kelly. She invited me into her home which has a beautiful calming atmosphere. The experience was very intimate, and we were able to dive deeper into my personal experience with grief. She was well-prepared and had pages of detailed notes to share with me, as well as additional resources to continue my journey. Kelly takes her responsibility seriously and approaches each session with the utmost care and empathy. She’s the kind of person that you instantly feel as if you’ve known her forever. Her willingness to be vulnerable herself allows you to fully open up and embrace the messiness of grief. You don’t have to have experienced a recent loss to seek Kelly’s wisdom, her teachings are valuable for all phases of life. Since then, she’s continued to be a support system and I’ve been lucky enough to join her community dinners where I’ve met other like-minded people. I am beyond grateful to have met Kelly and can’t recommend her services enough!”

“Let me start off by saying Kelly is such a god sent. She is extremely kind, compassionate, patient, loving, supportive and so much more. Kelly radiates so much love and light you can feel it instantly. Her presence alone is very welcoming and comforting.
Going through the grieving stages after losing my mother this past May she helped me navigate through it all. Losing my mother was the first death I’ve ever had to experience and at the moment I couldn’t wrap my mind around the fact that I had to move on someway somehow. But, something important I’ve learned is that grief isn’t something you can just move on from, it’s about learning how to cope in moments you are grieving. Allowing yourself to go through the emotions, giving yourself kindness, finding patience with yourself, and turning that grief into something beautiful. Everyday I miss my mother and everyday those emotions come rolling in but I have learned that the love I have for my mother will never be taken from me. I will forever have that love in my heart and I will cherish it everyday for the rest of my life. I have learned so much from Kelly that I will always be thankful for. She is truly an incredible human being.
Thank you Kelly and I love you.”

“Kelly came to out family during my stepfather’s hospice care. She met each of us where we were without judgement. She was one hundred percent equipped to support us on every level and did so with a smile and her whole heart and soul. I am beyond grateful for her for the love, dignity, and connectedness she afforded our family. She transformed an overwhelming time, helping us find presence, understanding, and so much love.”
- Devon
“My experience with Kelly was much needed in a time of major loss this year. I lost my best friend to a tragic accident and even though I have done many modalities over the years I didn’t know the special gift Kelly would be for me in my life. I have done a deep session with her one-on-one and it pivoted my relationship with death and deepened my innerstanding of the life and death cycle that we all experience daily. She equipped me with her magical tool kit exercises to be able to make time for my grief daily. I am so grateful for Kelly and her experiences not only to help me, but also to so many people on a global scale. What she has taught through her session and workshop, I have been able to support others who are grieving and the tool kit needed for myself to live with my grief in a beautiful way to make space for it. Thanks to Kelly and her love of people, the collective and the life/death cycle to be able to share her gifts. If you are considering seeing Kelly I highly recommend a session(s) with her. Keep up the incredible work Kelly and I can’t thank you enough for all that you do.”
