Hi, I'm Kelly.

I'm a dreamer, speaker, strategist, and life and health and wellness coach who believes life is meant to be lived with courage, connection, and purpose. I'm a firm believer in taking life by the horns, squashing fears, and wrestling with the challenges in front of us until we find the courage to move forward. For much of my own life, I lived afraid of missing out, making the wrong choices, or somehow missing the purpose I was meant to live. I know how limiting it can feel when fear takes the lead.

My journey has been one of learning to grow roots instead of constantly searching for the next thing. I've learned to plant my seeds deep, tend to the garden right in front of me, and trust that growth takes time. Through faith, healing, and personal transformation, I've discovered the freedom that comes from letting God father me, finding my voice, and learning to live from a place of courage rather than fear.

Today, I'm passionate about helping others do the same: find their voice, reconnect with the dreams that have always been inside them, and take courageous steps toward a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and true to who they are.

Growth Happens When We Dare to Try

I find deep joy in relationships and connection. I believe some of life's richest moments happen around a table, in a meaningful conversation, on an unexpected adventure, or in the everyday moments we share with the people we love. I believe the best life is lived among friends and community.

One of my favorite values came from my mom, who often reminded me, “You never know 'til you try it.” Growing up, this usually meant trying new foods, but that simple phrase became a guiding principle for how I approach life.

What if the thing you're afraid to try is the very thing that helps you grow? What if a new perspective, a courageous conversation, or one small step outside your comfort zone opens the door to something you never imagined?

I bring this same spirit into coaching. You may not know how liberating life can become until you're willing to try something different. You don't have to have every answer before you begin. Sometimes, you simply need the courage to take the first step.

My Experience, My Approach

I'm a Certified Life Coach through Life Purpose Institute and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). I also hold a Master of Public Health from the University of Oklahoma, with an emphasis in Health Promotion.

For ten years, I worked to empower underserved communities with tools and resources to support mental and emotional health. As a former trainer in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and Mental Health First Aid, I helped train professionals and strategically develop programs that supported mental wellness throughout my local community in Northern California.

In my leadership role, I oversaw the development and implementation of programs designed to reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and spearheaded new initiatives to strengthen community mental wellness.

These experiences deepened my understanding of the challenges people face and strengthened my belief in the power of connection, compassion, prevention, and hope.

Today, I bring together my coaching education, public health background, professional experience, and personal journey to help people navigate life's transitions, move beyond fear, reconnect with their strengths, and discover what's possible for their future.

I believe in walking alongside people with authenticity and compassion, creating space for growth, and helping them recognize the courage and potential that already exist within them.

A Little More About Me

When I'm not coaching or dreaming up new possibilities, you'll probably find me exploring somewhere new, enjoying a craft coffee, making Saturday morning waffles, planning a road trip, snuggling a baby, jumping into a waterfall, or heading out for a good trail run.

I live in Northern California with my husband, Josh, our two boys, and our adventure dog, Summit. I love international travel, trying new things, and the kind of everyday adventures that remind us how beautiful life can be. At the heart of it all, I'm someone who believes in people, the power of relationships, and the possibility of finding hope even in the bleakest seasons. The person with the most hope wins. And sometimes, all it takes to begin a new chapter is the courage to believe that something different is possible.
