Hi. I’m Keli.

Queer lady. Intersectional Feminist. Dog mom. Life and business coach.

I come from a varied background in the arts, alternative health, and direct sales. (All the best things that people love to hate.)

Throughout my multifaceted career, I’ve learned a lot.  I’ve earned tons of accolades, exhausted myself by always trying to reach the next level (and never understanding why the finish line didn’t magically make me happy).  The self-help and esoteric philosophies infused within direct sales and alternative health didn’t fix it.  Just being positive didn’t fix it.  Therapy didn’t fix it. And then, I hired a coach.

I learned the science behind why the approaches I had sought out in the past didn’t work, and I learned evidence-based tools that do.  I’d love to share them with you!  Because I truly believe that when we can stop beating ourselves up for everything we think is wrong with us, we’ll free up space within us to create the changes we want to see in ourselves, in our lives, and in our world.

And, y’all. The world needs some damn change! I mean… *broadly gestures to everything* But to put out the dumpster fire, we have to stop burning ourselves out, and learn to allow ourselves more space and compassion. That’s what will allow us to show up to create the communities we want to build and, ultimately, the social changes we want to make. We must dismantle our individual socialization in order to diminish systemic oppression and create social change.

My Coaching Methods

I use a variety of cognitive and somatic approaches to coaching - some of which I learned from teachers and others of which I’ve created. And I do everything in my power to equalize power dynamics within the coaching relationship and remain hyper-aware of my own biases. I am 50% of this. You are the other 50%. And though I’m running my business, your coaching ultimately needs to work for you. So in a lot of ways, you’re in charge.

We will explore how socialization has impacted the ways in which you show up in your life, which of those ways you want to keep and strengthen, and which of those ways you’d like to shift. 

Some of my teachers include: Susan Hyatt, Dana Wilde, Sarah Klein, Patty Rantapaa, Erin Brown, Star Rose Bond, Rae McDaniel, C. René Washington, LaShell Wooten, Kara Loewentheil, Tandy Gutierrez, Sarah Magnoni, and all the matriarchs of my lineage. Perhaps most importantly, the strongest woman I know who taught me from birth to be everything I truly am, my mother.

I’ve earned the following coaching certifications:

  • Life Coach Certification: University for Life Coach Training

  • Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching: Kara Loewentheil

  • Master Life Coach Certification: University for Life Coach Training

Additionally, prior to entering the world of coaching, I received certification in a number of therapeutic bodywork modalities as a licensed massage therapist. And trained in coaching and leadership under the most brilliant minds of the direct sales world for over a decade.

Testimonials

  • "In my business, I pushed aside perfectionism and now I’m doing the things I’ve wanted to do. I thought it all had to be this certain way. I didn’t think it would look the way I wanted it to. Then the pandemic hit and I finally decided, “I’m just going to do it.” What I realized was that even though it wasn’t exactly what I had in my head, at least just doing a version of it was better than not doing anything. And then once I did it, I was overwhelmed with the response from it...to the point where I was like, “...I should have done this...two years ago!” That was a hard lesson to learn. Especially for somebody who, like me, is a perfectionist. I thought, “If it’s not going to be the way I want, then I’m just not doing it.” But *not doing it* isn’t putting any money in my pocket. *Not doing it* prevents me from providing a service to people who may want it. And the response was overwhelming. I just threw it out there to see what happened, and I was shocked! Email blowing up. Phone blowing up."

  • "Working with you, never, not one single moment did I ever feel like you were judging me or you were judging other people or there was any judgment ever. For me that’s huge, because it took that pressure off. Because there was never any judgment coming from you, I could move that lens and then I could actually see what was going on. So I’m incredibly grateful to you for the work that you’ve done for yourself to get to that point - your own self-awareness and your awareness of people and how brains work, to have that be a space where that’s never even an option is incredible. It’s a beautiful gift."

    —Megan

  • "I was able to listen to other people and the things they were going through weren’t the things I was going through, but the thought processes that they were having were SO similar to thoughts that I was having on 75 million other things! I felt like I was getting so much additional coaching! I felt like I was getting so much additional coaching!"
