What are clients wanting to share with you?
Everyone's experience with this work is unique. Each session is unique to where a client is at that moment in time, and their response will vary, too. I have no way of knowing how someone will respond to the work, and results are not guaranteed.
But, these clients have been happy with our work together, and, in the spirit of helping others to find what they need, they have willingly shared their stories for you. Because the work is personal, many have chosen to remain anonymous.
Perhaps something here will resonate with you.....
“When I first started coaching with Kelly, I wanted to become clear about who I am, and what I need for myself in my life, and in my relationship with my husband. I didn’t know where to begin, nor did I have the strength to go forward myself.
I can’t believe how much coaching helped me. I am amazed at the strength in myself that I’ve discovered thru this and the tools that you’ve given me to deal with my issues. It’s been great. The notes, exercises, and meditations are fabulous! I have been relying on them. Everytime we do one I add that into part of my day. I plan on using a lot of what you’ve taught me on my own to continue to create the life and relationship that are best for me.” – C.F., self employed, mid-60’s.
"When I first began working with Kelly over 14 years ago, I was dealing with a sudden elevation of blood pressure, stiffness in hips, various tender trigger points, and anxiety. My doctor suggested that I would probably benefit from massage therapy (along with medications). She was right!
The tangible results include relief from stiffness, loosening of scar tissue after knee replacement surgery, as well as treating other joints prior to arthroscopic surgery.
However, it is the intangibles that are difficult to describe. I know the massages are healing. She senses when I am ready to stop talking and focus inward. My mind travels and I have discovered details for my writing during many sessions. I’ve continued to work with Kelly once a month because my well-being is enhanced by her touch, her calming sensitivity, and quiet sense of humor. She understands the importance of the writing retreats that I attend and provides a safe, quiet, atmosphere that is a kind of meditation.
Kelly also helped my daughter relieve head and neck pain after suffering several concussions. If I recommended her for my daughter, I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for physical relief and for improving their well being even if I can’t be more specific about why I’m there once a month treating myself to what I know is good for me."— A.M.
"I find working with Kelly to be invaluable. Whether talking with her of things that I feel unsettled and unclear about or in doubt of my ability to bounce back from struggles, Kelly's perspective and intuitive perceptions always lead me out of the woods. It's like she shines a flashlight, pointing to exactly what I need to see or couldn't see at that moment and what my next step to take is. She has a way with words, so I "get" it and a way with re-stating the obvious so my path is ultra-clear when I can't see the forest for the trees. Kelly has a gift of drawing forth out of me, gracefully and painlessly, the clarity and confidence that I know is there, but sometimes lose touch with. I always leave feeling encouraged and knowing everything is going to be ok."-Stacy Jenkins, Colorado
“In my coaching session with Kelly, I found her to be a lovely and generous soul who manifests a deep caring and desire to assist. Not just for relief needed in the moment, but for relief and positive change that is true and lasting.
Because she’s intuitive, I felt comfortable with her right away and felt I could connect with her. What is most important to me is that she encouraged me to honor my own process and take the time I needed in our work together. It felt good. It was nice to feel I could relax with her and experience trust with her as quickly as I did. I value her sensitivity and sincerity and hope that she will be able to assist many people and be able to help them on their journeys”. – Marinna Hinkle, Holistic Psychotherapist, Certified Transformational Coach; Bethel, VT
“I enjoy working with Kelly and always gain insight into where I am at and what direction do I need to move towards; she allows me the space to make these important discoveries. Kelly has many techniques and tools to help me hear my own inner guide so I can take that next step. I look forward to working with Kelly again.” – Annie GM
"Kelly is a joy to work with. Her ability to hone in and hold energy where needed for her clients is a true gift. She's a rare find." - Romny French, CHT, Alameda, CA
"I've absolutely loved working with Kelly! She's warm, compassionate, and a great listener. Her skills and insight have been a godsend in helping me figure out my life plan. Her clarity and knowledge about the mind-body connection are invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone exploring this connection, or anyone wanting to move forward in his or her life." - Debra Garcia, MA, CHt
"When I began my journey with Kelly, I came because I was having difficulty with the process of grieving loss, and it was affecting my joints. "Energy," we decided, "was going awry!"
"I believe that touch is not only important to infants, but also to all humans for health and well-being. When you live alone after the death of a beloved spouse, that part of your life is missing - suddenly gone.
"I wear many hats and tend to compartmentalize my life. Because of that, living alone, and being drained from giving, giving, giving in my caring profession without receiving, I lose "me" in the process.
"I need peace, and I need to connect to my inner self. I go to Kelly to do this in her very capable hands. When things are crashing in, and when I start to feel out of synch, I try to re-connect to that feeling of her touch. Our therapeutic dialoguing helps me to see things clearly, too. This is how I have compensated and worked through difficult issues. She has good hands." - T.O., Widow, Age 70, Dolgeville, NY
"Kelly's wisdom and compassion were very apparent in her work with me. She has a lot of passion for helping people live the life they want and deserve and is gifted to assist in achieving one's goals. It was very easy for me to open up to her and reveal my true desires as I felt she was truly interested and in my corner. I very much recommend working with her." – Ashiko Rupp, Sedona, AZ
“Kelly is a compassionate and highly intuitive coach. She held the space for me to look deep within and discover what is true for me, and to trust my way forward. I felt supported and encouraged by her. I would highly recommend working with Kelly.” – Diane N.
" The coaching sessions I have undertaken with Kelly have been invaluable. Kelly has the amazing ability to be fully present and supportive no matter what issue I bring to the table. Kelly's processes are deep, and I feel that she holds a profoundly respectful place for me whilst coaching, for which I am deeply thankful for. This space Kelly holds as a coach facilitates me to feel safe to really deeply explore my inner self, I feel completely secure and guided. I leave each session feeling a new connection to myself, and to the universe around me. By honouring me as a client, and honouring my processes, she is teaching me to truly honour myself. "- Elisabeth Oswell, UK
"I was struggling with migraines. I have experienced a decrease in frequency and severity of migraines, and eliminated use of prescription medication, beginning after 1-2 sessions. The benefits have increased with each session. I am thrilled! I am now able to treat migraines with over-the-counter pain killers, and they no longer ruin my life!!!" - Amanda, Customer Service Rep., Age 29, Little Falls, NY
"My initial visit was for physical (back) problems, but emotional and spiritual stress cropped up in future sessions. After about 6-7 sessions, I felt comfortable, and trusted Kelly in every visit. The mixed physical, emotional and spiritual approach through masssage and craniosacral therapy has given me much needed relief from my chronically sore/achy back, and emotional and spiritual stress. I look forward to my sessions, which are now part of my maintenance routine, and Life." - Sal Davi, Retired, Age 75, St. Johnsville, NY
"When I first came to see Kelly, I wanted relief from stress, lower back pain, and sinus headaches. My stress level is significantly reduced with each visit, as is my lower back pain. I expereinced results from the beginning. As I do not live in the Mohawk Valley, I can attest to her professionalism and skill. Hers is by far the best practice I have visited. Not many would travel 5 hours if the treatment wasn't perfection." - Matthew Flood, Age 48, Management, NYC, NY
"When I first came to see Kelly, I was looking for relief from stress and neck pain. Beginning with my first visit my stress level dropped, and I felt more energetic. That has continued since. I travel about 5 hours for my massage. I say it's worth the travel!" - J. Armando Romero, Age 44, Brooklyn, NY
"I was struggling with back, neck, and heel pain/discomfort, as well as stress-related jaw and neck tension. It took about 4 sessions for me to experience less pain and more mobility (I could ride my bike again!). I feel very good, relaxed, peaceful, and centered after my sessions. I am healthier because of massage and craniosacral therapy!" - Coleen Compton, Dental Assistant, Age 56, Salisbury Center, NY
