Hi, I’m Kalia kelmenson
I’ve been playing, teaching, and training in the field of health and well-being for all of my adult life. I’ve studied and worked with many layers of the mind and body from a number of different perspectives. From massage therapy to athletic training, coaching to writing and editing, I’ve explored and facilitated the transformation of hundreds of groups and individuals.
My passion for this field came out of a childhood spent studying and focusing on a career in medicine. In the space between college and medical school, I realized that my passion is actually in partnering with clients to build a vibrant life, not just to manage disease.
I’ve come from a tendency toward the blues, and have experienced shocking grief, along with chronic and recurring back pain, I learned the essential truth that we can’t just think our way into our next chapter, we have to BE our way there.
I invite you into your next chapter, the one where you feel confident and solid in yourself, where you are doing what is meaningful to you, and where you stop being so hard on yourself for what you aren’t doing.
Life has a way of handing us curveballs. How we navigate through them makes a massive difference in many areas. As adults, we often realize we are reacting to life based on old stories we carry with us from childhood.
My mission is to help as many women leaders as possible get out of their own way and move toward a life that they love and to have the energy and mindset to enjoy it!
My story is probably not unlike yours. I’ve been tumbled and tossed by the waves of life, and there have been times in my life when I wasn’t sure I could resurface.
I believe in the deeply transformative and healing power of salt water: the ocean, sweat, and tears (of laughter and sorrow.)
Along the way, I’ve had help. I’ve deepened the resources I carry within me, and I’ve participated in community that listens, offers reflection and guidance, and sometimes simply (profoundly) a shoulder to cry on, and space to laugh and dance. I’ve also been held to task and asked questions that have transformed the way I see the world, increased my capacities, and clarified what I’m here to do.
For over twenty-five years, I have guided women of all ages on the journey to the sweet spot of their life, that can only be found in the present.
I will support you, encourage you, guide you to the deeper layers, help you find humor, and be a partner on the path that you choose.

Imagine being in your glide, as if you are on the wave you want to be on, propelled forward by the energy of life, and fully present and alive. You get to spend your precious time and energy on what matters to you, what speaks to your heart.
We all experience life wipeouts, we get tumbled and we have to find a way to pull ourselves up, to get back on our board, and move in the direction we want to go.
It is in the choices we make during these life wipeouts, in this delicate space, that we sometimes beat ourselves up, we lose confidence in our abilities, and it can get dark.
I know and honor this place. I recognize that it is part of life and that there is a way forward. I am not perfect, and neither are you. I believe in and recognize your resilience, I can help you find the tools you need most right now.
