Your Guide Through Growth & Change
Kelly is more than a coach—she’s a mentor who meets you exactly where you are, without judgment, and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, and with over a decade of experience in business ownership herself, Kelly understands what it takes to build something meaningful from the ground up. As a craniosacral therapist, she brings a deep understanding of how the body, mind, and business intersect. Her background as a birth doula and her degree in Theology & Youth Ministry shape her ability to hold space for transformation—whether personal, professional, or both.
In her craniosacral practice, Kelly is an internationally known specialist in oral function in children, adults, and infants including tongue-tie and breastfeeding support. She works closely with families and practitioners to navigate the complexities of infant feeding challenges, orthodontics, and untreated oral function issues. She offers guidance to craniosacral therapists, bodyworkers, and other professionals looking to expand their knowledge in this area—helping them refine their skills, improve client outcomes, and build confidence in their practice.
Kelly’s coaching is rooted in real-life experience. She’s navigated the challenges of running a business, overcoming financial hurdles, and building a fulfilling career. Now, she helps others do the same—offering grounded, strategic, and intuitive support for craniosacral therapists, wellness practitioners, and individuals looking to grow, pivot, or realign.
