7 maybe weird things I love as a Reiki and somatic sound healer:

1. The first moment of silence
�Before the first note, everyone’s still deciding if it’s safe to let go. Then they land. Silence is my first instrument.

2. The shift when the room drops in
�Breath slows. Bodies start falling into rhythm together. That’s entrainment and the power of co-regulation: nervous systems helping each other feel safe.

3. The exhale
�Mid-session, someone releases a breath they’ve been holding for… maybe years. It’s audible and unplanned. It’s one of my very favorite sounds, and I’m the one with the instruments.

4. Leaving and coming back
�I step out at the end, walk back in, and the room feels completely different. It’s like stepping into a cocoon. Tell me energy isn’t real.

5. Bodies softening
�Shoulders drop. Jaws unclench. Hands uncurl. The body says what the mind won’t.

6. The look on everyone’s faces
�As I walk around with instruments infusing Reiki, every face wears the same peace. They have different lives and different stories but one expression. Oneness.

7. The build and release of energy
�Energy rises, crests, and settles like a wave. In somatic work we call this pendulation: the nervous system learning it’s safe to feel and safe to come back.

1000 days alcohol-free 🤍

Recently I realized that this journey has been about more than just sobriety. It’s been about self-trust, freedom, and resiliency. Sovereignty.

The same sensitivity and anxiety that once fueled my drinking turned out to be my intuition. Now I can hear it and I trust myself enough to act on it.

People are often surprised that Reiki is what helped me most. But I don’t see it through just one lens. As a Reiki Master Teacher, sound healer, yoga teacher and somatic coach, my work bridges mind, body and spirit. That’s exactly how lasting change happened for me.

Now when anxiety spikes, I don’t reach for a glass. I put my hands on my heart, breathe, and let Reiki move through me. My body softens, my mind quiets, and I can hear what’s underneath. Often, it’s my intuition trying to tell me something.

No sound bowls, no yoga mat, no one else required. Just me, coming home to myself.

That’s sovereignty. And it’s in you too. ✨

I’m creating a special Reiki training for sensitive women who want to stop numbing their anxiety and start trusting their intuition. DM me “SOVEREIGN” to be the first to know.

My harvest, as promised 🌾

On the Spring Equinox, I led a sound bath for a women’s retreat in Ojai.

When I pulled up to the retreat home, a sudden knowing dropped in:

I’m going to lead my own retreat here one day.

At the Summer Solstice, I launched the Beauty & Balance Retreat with my Libra partner Blair Cobb

And between the Fall Equinox and this Harvest Full Moon, we sold it out. 🎉

Every detail, and this incredible group of 14 women, came together with ease. Cosmically aligned and divinely guided.

Looking back, I can see how creating this retreat has been a beautiful mirror for my own becoming. Beauty and balance revealed themselves as the pillars guiding my life and my business forward in new, expanded ways.

I arrived in Ojai on the Spring Equinox burnt out. On the drive up, which was surprisingly healing, I realized I’d barely had a handful of days off in months.

That exhaustion became the threshold to the chapter opening now. One where balance isn’t defined by self-care activities, but by sustainability, self-worth and freedom. Where being of greater service no longer means abandoning myself.

How fitting that it comes full circle under an Aries Full Moon in Libra season, the axis of self and other. 🌕

And next month, we host our retreat on the Libra New Moon, the sign of beauty and balance itself. 🌑 A new beginning, planted in everything this season taught me.

What are you celebrating from these last six months? Tell me below. I want to celebrate with you. ✨

August as an emoji 🫠 September💡

August and eclipse season felt like it brought a wrecking ball through my life.

It was filled with so many days that left me questioning everything I hold certain— health scares, financial uncertainties, unexpected news, harsh realizations and sudden shifts in my own thinking.

It ended with a lot of difficult decisions. And even more lessons.

Literally me 🫠

Yet it also brought a strange sense of deep trust and anticipation that something much bigger is opening for me. And some of the wildest synchronicities I’ve ever experienced, asking me to trust.

Two things can be true at once— we can be scared sh*tless of what’s happening around us and also feel deeply connected to faith and a knowing that it’s all happening FOR us, not TO us.

What cracks us open becomes fuel for our becoming.

Within every challenge is a hidden blessing and greater lesson.

With September’s arrival, the dust has been slowly clearing. I recommitted to my daily practices (I like to call them miracle makers!) and have been embracing space to think, breathe and be after a full, busy summer.

In that integration, an incredible shift has been taking place. So much clarity and BIG, exciting next steps have been revealed 💡

I’m not the same version of me who walked through the door that’s been slowly opening all year.

I said yes to the future calling me forward. And I’m so ready for who I’m meant to become next.

What (and who) are you saying yes to?

If you’re in the messy middle and ready for clarity and support to move through it instead of staying stuck in it— this is exactly the work I do with clients in my somatic coaching sessions and private healing work.

I’d love to help you integrate and find your next steps. 🤍💡

Just one step, one yes, can be a giant leap forward in the direction of your dreams— and to becoming the version of you calling you forward.

Enrolling in Sound Healing Certification & Business Mentorship was the step that changed everything for me. And, it brought me to the community that years later continues to be a daily source of connection, support and inspiration.

If sound healing is calling you, we would love to help you answer. Fall training begins on September 14th.

DM me SOUND HEALS for your free program guide and a very special Angel discount 🤍✨

Everything starts from a beginning— and by saying yes to what calls you forward.

Could your new beginning as a certified sound healer be waiting for you on September 14th? 💗✨ Sound Healing Certification & Business Mentorship

Hi! We’re Kelly and Blair.

Libras. Lovers of beauty. Seekers of balance. Moms. Former corporate burnouts.

And we’re the two people who will hold you while you finally let that sh*t go and remember who you truly are.

Kelly is a sound healer, Reiki Master, and somatic yoga teacher. Blair is a Breathwork teacher and Reiki Master. Together we create space for healing that moves through your body, not just your mind.

We believe in magic and science — feet on the ground, heads in the sky, led by our hearts.

That’s what we pour into everything we offer:

Breathe & RISE WUUM is our monthly gathering for women. Breathwork, sound healing, and Reiki — a spiritual workout that restores you on every level. A room full of women exhaling together. It’s healing magic amplified by feminine power.

Beauty & Balance is our retreat. Four days in Ojai, CA — October 8–11. Deep rest, healing, connection, and even a dance party under the stars to manifest under the Libra New Moon in the frequency of joy.

For the woman who gives everything to everyone and ends up last on her own list— this is where you come back to yourself.

Link in bio. We’d love to have you. 💗
