Hi, my name is Kelly, and I am a certified Holistic Life Coach & Mind-Body Practitioner and a member of the Complimentary Medical Association. My journey to helping others really begun at the age of 18 when I started to experience physical symptoms that became chronic, primarily debilitating digestive issues. In the many years that followed, I began desperately searching for the answer, the cure or for whatever was going to ‘fix’ me. Unfortunately I did not find any relief through the conventional medical system (other than gaining a bunch of diagnoses) so I had no other option than to look for alternative guidance. The quest to feel better led me to see a whole variety of helping modalities, including nutritionists, naturopaths and energy healers. I was quite literally trying anything and everything in an attempt to 'fix' myself, not to mention taking countless different supplements every day, doing all sorts of ‘cleanses’ and protocols. Nothing helped, and now I could see that this whole experience was taking its toll on my mental health – I thought I was never going to get better. Intuitively, I always knew that there was a missing piece to the puzzle. I knew my symptoms didn’t just randomly occur for no reason. I didn’t understand why no-one was looking at the whole picture, not just the physical but the mental, emotional and spiritual parts that make up each and every one of us. I knew that there had to be a link between the state of my physical health and my mental health, primarily a lifetime of anxiety, repressed emotions, unprocessed trauma and chronic stress.
