Individual Sessions
I provide brave sanctuaries for you to encounter the parts of your persona you cannot face alone. You learn to listen to your inner symbols, follow creative impulses and unravel the wisdom that logic alone cannot reach, so you can have real and lasting transformation.
Transforming old stories and investing in personal development takes courage, compassion and commitment. I honor that commitment you make.
My approach blends deep inner work with creative expansion to help you break free from the stories that keep you small. I weave together expressive arts, parts work, trauma-informed somatics and embodied storytelling, so you learn to take up space, embody your truth and stand firmly in your values. You’ll cultivate the courage to be seen, the clarity to lead from your soul and the resilience to walk a path that others may not understand at first.
Some benefits of working with Kelsay are:
Experiencing inner peace and safety.
Resolving patterns of overwhelm, stress and trauma responses.
Building trust in your own voice and life choices.
Living with greater joy, confidence, and presence.
Expressing yourself without fear, no matter what is happening around you.
Marissa Subia, Writer & Editor in Richmond, CA
“I’m so grateful to Kelsay. She was so calm and kind as she walked me through observing, understanding, and expressing myself. Through her coaching and the resources she shared with me, I unlocked the inner stability I’ve been looking for practically my whole life. Life is never certain, but I’m a whole lot more confident about living now.”
Aiyana McKenzie, Sound and Soul Awakening in Portland, OR
“Kelsay’s kindness and wise intuitive guidance made me feel safe to really be myself and share openly. She is masterful at holding space and listening deeply. She also has a large toolbox of skills to access for guidance and expansion.”

“Her subtle yet direct approach to guiding clients on their own journey of self-discovery is awakening and has created surprising changes in my life.

“Kelsay’s work is disarmingly powerful. Her presence is deeply supportive, and she shines a healing light on wherever you are. She brings a wealth of tools and knowledge that span the somatic, psychological and creative realms.”
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.”
How does it work?
Unlike other coaches and therapists, I don’t follow a script written by some renowned figure of what’s been done before and force you to follow someone else’s steps to transformation. Those transformations won’t last.
I am specialized in guiding every client’s unique process of becoming. My work is focused on what will help each person to express all the aspects of who they are, so they can have more confidence, trust and power in their life.
I’ve worked with hundreds of clients on their personal and professional development to help them gain the confidence to launch their business, stand up for their beliefs and desires in current relationships, finally feel safe in their body and accept themselves as they are, discover their true passion and direction for the next chapter in life, and much more.
My individual sessions are either 60 minutes for $220 or 90 minutes for $250.
R. Ebora, Multi-disciplinary Artist & Independent Consultant in Batangas City, The Philippines
“I sought out sessions with Kelsay at a time when I was blurry, out-of-sorts, and generally detached from everything. My goals were to reconnect to purpose, be more present, enhance creativity, and accomplish groundedness. These were all realized with the gentle and consistent support I received from Kelsay during our weekly sessions. I felt heard, understood, wisely and firmly guided by her. . .Of my several experiences with coaches, I can affirmatively say that she ranks high when it comes to effectiveness, congruency, and professionalism.”
Dr. Linda Berry, Chiropractic, Nutrition and Trauma Healing in San Rafael, CA
“Kelsay is a creative, confident and skilled coach for transformative arts. She had extensive training and has been honored for her work by her esteemed institution.”
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.”
Hollis Citron, Creativity Doula, Publisher and Owner of I Am Creative Publishing
“Kelsay has such a way about her that allows you to feel safe to express and feel real results in a short time frame. For me, it was literally 10 minutes I felt a loosening up and release of energy. Kelsay really challenged me to get out of my own way and uncomfortable feelings. Her love for life inspires with such a bright beam of light. Thank you, Kelsay.”
Robert Brown, Let’s Get IT! Coaching & Mentoring in Solon, OH

Kelsay Elizabeth Myers
My path has been to embody myself, to truly accept what arises within me and express it, so I can be of service to those who are ready to claim their own power.
I look at myself, others and the world and try to create something beautiful from the composition, and sometimes, from the wreckage. I’ve spent my entire life uncovering more and more layers and facets of who I am. Among my many facets: I am a woman, a lesbian, a millennial, a Korean adoptee, a writer, a mixed media artist, a dreamer and a trauma specialist who works along the edges of the mythic self, trauma resolution and compassionate change.
One of the greatest gifts I received from expressive arts has been the mirroring, active witnessing and integration of my whole self. I want more people who experience trauma, disconnection and fragmentation, or what I call “shards of the self,” to reclaim their power. My work guides you into the places where confidence, clarity and self-trust have been fractured—and supports you in rebuilding from the inside out. I hold a grounded, compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can reconnect to your authenticity, strengthen your voice and remember that you are the author of your life.
In a society that tries to tear down what is most precious about us through trauma, loss, neglect, disconnection or whatever experiences you encounter that take you away from your own sense of self, I help to restore you in mind, body, heart and spirit. You’ll learn to make empowered decisions, set boundaries clearly and expand your capacity to feel, express and take action from a place of sovereignty.
With dual M.F.A. degrees in Creative Writing from Saint Mary’s College of California and certification as an Awakened Life Coach and a Tamalpa Institute Life/Art Process® Practitioner, I have 14 years of experience teaching, researching and collaborating in integrative somatic trauma therapy modalities, identity and ways of understanding the self, what makes a meaningful life and using the arts for personal and social transformation. Through my award-winning business, Dialogical Persona Healing Arts, I offer cutting edge transformational programs that help people to dance, define and dream their future.
If you’re ready to reclaim your personal power, I invite you to take the next step. Let’s talk. I offer FREE Express Yourself Connection Calls to learn more about what’s happening for you.

“Kelsay puts her heart into her work and is committed to co-creating dynamic change for her clients, allowing them to embody their most brilliant selves. She has such subtle exploratory beauty and divine inspiration!”
Susan Crane, Legal Shield and Legal Aid Services in Brantwood, WI
“Kelsay has a unique toolbox to help her clients. She works mostly with women who are looking to make a change in their life and/or their careers. She uses the expressive arts, including conscious dance, as well as her background in trauma informed healing to guide people to gain more confidence and break free of restraints and barriers. She was a joy to speak with and has a generous heart.”
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 a picture of myself 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 tools and processes available. I deeply appreciate the great attention to detail and supportive, heart-centered accepting presence of Kelsay.”
Linds Guinan in the San Francisco Bay Area
“I have truly enjoyed working with Kelsay! She has been a huge help to many techniques and tools I use on a daily basis. We have worked on many topics surrounding my life inclusive of adoption, career changes, and relationship dynamics. Her work has taken me out of my mind and back grounded into my body. Her kindness and openness to investigate and articulate finding strategies to ease fears, anxieties, and trauma informed responses has been a life saver. I have enjoyed dancing, drawing, and visualizing my tools as she creates a safe container to play, probe, and practice these skill sets. This is my second year working with her, and I am so immensely grateful!”
Emily Kuenstler, Fine Artist in Point Reyes, CA
“Kelsay Elizabeth Myers is an inspiring expression of healing trauma and creativity…unblocking creative endeavor and improving self-image. Our work together this past year jettisoned some important healing, as well as entrepreneurial completion creating tangible results. So transformational working with you…I am frankly extremely pleasantly surprised, as I have tried other coaching/classes/therapies. Thank you, Kelsay!”
