Empowerment Programs
“Look closely at the present you are constructing. It should look like the future you are dreaming.”
— Alice Walker
My personal empowerment programs are a way for you to dream, unearth and create the life you are envisioning. Each one is curated and customized to meet you where you’re at in the present.
Whether it’s:
Living into the next chapter of your life, so you can have all that you’ve been desiring. . .
Unleashing your trauma, so you can live your full potential. . .
Being more productive in completing your creative projects. . .
Having accountability for nurturing your soul’s journey and tending to your own wants and needs. . .
Gentle self-discovery of all the layers that make you who you are. . .
Authentic connections and full self-expression for personal growth. . .
Redefining, mining and re-rooting your lineage and personal mythology, so you can begin again. . .
When you have completed an empowerment program with me, you will be able to embody new resources to help you remain grounded, supported and to celebrate living your best life on your own terms!
Leela Davis, Creative Wellness Coach in Bremerton, WA
“Kelsay is a grounded coach who has caught my shine many times to reflect it back to me to my own surprise, revealing to me a picture of myself that I would have difficulty seeing without her lens. She pinpoints the key truths and has helped me further define and strengthen my message through the myriad of tools and processes available through this program—feeling into a question through movement, engaging through the driving passion through drawing, or drilling down beyond the surface response to a niggling question through free-writing and deep inquiry. Having a safe place to be and express one’s dreams and confusions is paramount when starting any monumental project like starting a business. I deeply appreciate the great attention to detail and supportive, grounded and heart-centered accepting presence of Kelsay.”
Rebecca Eckland, Author, Athlete & Soul-based Coach in Reno, NV
“Kelsay helped me reconnect with my body and the story that resides within me. I not only discovered this deeply ingrained need for balance in all aspects of my life, but something unexpected surfaced: this incredible love of dance and movement because of the graceful pivots it allows us. I want so badly to pivot in real life too. But it starts in the soul, mind and body. I can move forward and backward, and I can turn. This helped me to really see that I can own this journey and make it my own.”
Mia Lee, Intuitive Journey Guide
“How many breakthroughs can you have with one coach? Apparently, as many as you can handle. I did the Write, Embody, Heal program with Kelsay and 4 months after our last session, I’m launching my healing arts business. I’d had the intention for some time but didn’t know what I was missing to get started. Working with Kelsay created the foundations I needed to establish around spiritual and energetic sovereignty, self-possession, and other equally powerful realizations. She is a skillful, empathetic coach with an impressive range of knowledge, tools and exercises. I obviously recommend working with her.”
Nancy Guerrera, Artist & Intuitive Guide in Santa Rosa, CA
“Kelsay’s support in our sessions helped me connect more deeply with and clarify my inner vision of what I truly wanted to do with my creative urges and desires. The process was both gentle and bold. I appreciated her deeply kind and skillful presence that guided and affirmed and held space for me as I unraveled and explored. I also came away with a subtle but more indelible feeling of confidence and awareness that these visions can and would be able to come to fruition. My own images and metaphors have stayed with me in ways that still connect me back into that feeling of support and possibility that tips more toward probability than fear. They have been an enduring part of my artistic creative development.”
Embodying Stories
A FREE monthly workshop series
Stories are interwoven into our experience of life: they are how we come to know ourselves and to know others, and they are also how others come to know us in turn. Joan Didion said: “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” We also tell ourselves stories in order to express what needs to be shared. Rather than suppressing, bypassing or turning away from what is real and present, our emotions, thoughts and values are a part of what it means to be human. Only in allowing ourselves to hold all of these and connect them in our bodies can we become free to express all of ourselves with new stories that move us into a future we want to belong to.
Be A New Story
Recapture Your Creative Life!
A 3 or 6 month transformational coaching program for creative souls being stifled in their personal or professional lives to come face to face with their authentic self-expression. If you want more in life: to feel more, be more, know more, do more, grow more. . .and you have tried “everything out there” to heal, yet are still afraid to be in your body and express yourself fully, this may be the program for you. Be A New Story is for those who are ready to encounter and move through inner walls, demons and monsters that have been holding them back, so they can live out the story they are called to.
Fierce You
Express Yourself with Confidence & Power
Do you want to be fully expressed in your fierce love, fierce hope, fierce anger, fierce creativity and fierce leadership?
Is your most ferocious self unleashed?
If you hide your ferocity, fear your inner power, or you simply are not sharing your most vibrant, strange, unique self in this world. . .I can help you be strong in your sense of self.
Now is the time to be boldly, unashamedly, fiercely YOU!
Julie Kerr, Writer, Director & Creative Consultant in Oakland, CA
“I feel really good now having completed our work, and I know what God’s calling me to do. Talking about my life in metaphors is powerful and helped me understand my life better. It’s an easier way to deal with the stuff I have to deal with. What I like is that it’s staying in the present and looking to the future.”
Jackie Moy, Spatial Story Designer and Founder of Fantasy Funerals in Oakland, CA
“I had a real breakthrough after our session today. I had an informational interview that made me realize something I don’t want to do. I feel a renewed commitment and focus to my life’s work and feel like its path is fully revealed to me. The filter that was holding me back is gone!!!! Maybe not forever. But I feel so much more comfortable. Thank you so much for the change you have brought to my life.”
Minea Lindqvist, Coach, Consultant & Creative at Minea Herwitz Studio in Oakland, CA
“Kelsay embodies what she teaches. I highly recommend her as a coach and general supporter of a full life!”
Victoria von Gorski, Psychic Coach at Artemis Spiritual Advisor in San Anselmo, CA
“What a gift Kelsay is! Warm, compassionate and honest in her journey that allows you to be safe in yours. She is constantly learning to improve herself and brings all of this to her clients.”
