My work is for bold hearts on the road to transformation, embodiment and self-expression.
Stories are so much a part of who we are as people and how we understand the world and make sense of who we are and the things that we want—and really—what drives us, as human beings.
Transforming old stories and investing in your own personal development takes courage, compassion and commitment. I provide brave sanctuaries to those who want liberation from conditioning and convention for their inner soul awakening using the body, the self, and the arts.
If you’re holding back any aspect of who you are in your personal or professional life, and you want to bring more of yourself into your roles and relationships, I use cutting edge transformational processes, so you can discover and reclaim your creative flow, experience more joy in life, and feel more settled in your whole system.
The work I do is focused on confidence, clarity, inner healing and wholeness, developing trust, personal empowerment, self-discovery and trauma resolution to help you change, grow and transform your life for a deeper sense of purpose.

“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!”
Rebecca Eckland, Author, Athlete & Soul-based Coach in Reno, NV
“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. I would highly recommend working with Kelsay if transformation, inspiration and evolution are the goals you want for your next step in your personal or professional journey.”
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. Thank you Kelsay!”
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. I also came away with a subtle but more indelible feeling of confidence and awareness that these visions can and would be able to come to fruition. My own images and metaphors have stayed with me in ways that still connect me back into that feeling of support and possibility that tips more toward probability than fear. They have been an enduring part of my artistic creative development.”
How does it work?
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 of the aspects of who they are.
I’ve worked with many individual clients on their personal and professional development using cutting edge transformational processes like mindfulness, drawing, self-reflective writing, freeform dance and intuitive movement, performance ritual, and found objects, so they can be more connected to themselves, their loved ones, and within their communities.
Imaginative, compassionate people who have become out of touch with who they are underneath the roles they fulfill for others in their daily life are drawn to this kind of work. And someone who struggles with putting themself first, hides part of themself, or feels overwhelmed and frustrated with how things are in their daily life.
Some clients may not even know themselves at all beyond the disconnected parts, feelings and a longing for inner healing and wholeness.
What are the benefits?
I look at the unique and individual person and guide you into your own inquiry, so you can uncover the essence of what fills you with joy, passion and meaning.
I teach you how to find inner resources and embody them, so you can be all of who you are with more confidence, trust, and clarity.
I support you in exploring and reflecting on how you currently express yourself in your personal and professional relationships, so you can communicate more authentically from your own authority.
I help you discover new ways of defining what is most important to you, so you can live your life and complete your projects with renewed excitement and creativity.
I guide you in embodying your personal power, so you have an expanded understanding of what you’re capable of personally and professionally, and you feel safe enough to express it with others and in the world.
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.”
Elsa Ng, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Crisis Specialist in Marin County, CA
“I am impressed with how Kelsay uses different modalities including writing, movement, visual and performance art and more to help her clients get more in touch with themselves and help transform their lives!”
Minea Lindqvist, Coach, Consultant & Creative at Minea Herwitz Studio in Oakland, CA
“Kelsay embodies what she teaches. I highly recommend her as a coach and general supporter of a full life!”
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.”

I stand for authentic connection, beauty, and the desire to be boldly and unashamedly human. I am here on this life path to embody myself, to truly accept what arises within me and to serve as a guide to bring others into their own full creative expressions. I teach my clients and students how to embody their own resources for more confidence, clarity, trust and intimacy with themselves, in their relationships, and in their ability to share their own humanness with the world.
There are two things my clients will often hear me say in their sessions. The first is: “what are you passionate about?” or “and is __ something you’re passionate about?” The second is that they’re doing “the work” because they are. It is hard work to look at yourself, humanity, and the world and create something real, vulnerable, true and whole from all of the fractured pieces and wreckage. It can seem easy when looking in from the outside, but it is not for the faint of heart. I know from my own experiences that it is also possible to do this courageous work, and it is what I’m most passionate about. I am passionate about trauma integration and restoring connection to our inner knowing using art, writing, dance, movement, performance ritual, and self-inquiry.
I have 12+ years worth of experience teaching, researching, and collaborating in integrative somatic trauma therapy modalities; ways of understanding the self and what makes a meaningful life; and using the arts for transformative healing. My history with trauma at the karmic level, as a Korean adoptee surrendered at birth, and as a woman who has come home to her own wholeness adds compassion and breath to the commitment I make in working for your best interests.
If this appeals to you, or you’d like to know more about how embodied healing arts can help you on your own journey, let’s talk. I offer FREE Express Yourself Wellness sessions to learn more about what’s happening for you.
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!”
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—feeling into a question through movement, engaging through the driving passion through drawing, or drilling down beyond the surface response to a niggling question through free-writing and deep inquiry. I deeply appreciate the great attention to detail and supportive, grounded and heart-centered accepting presence of Kelsay.”
Noreen Myers, Attorney at Law in Greater Grand Rapids, MI
“Kelsay brings transformational healing to life long learners in a gentle, lasting and meaningful way. She is a talented healer—experienced, remarkably supportive, and very effective. She held space for me in an empathetic, confident and encouraging manner. Since I am rather new to examining spirituality and searching for my own intuitive wisdom, I’m thrilled to have her to guide me on this impactful and meaningful journey where I’m learning how to trust my intuition.”
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. [It] has created tangible results. So transformational working with you…and the Cap T Truth of human shared traits that perhaps creates a respectful, soul-based paradigm that doesn’t leave a client like me feeling broken-so-fix-me! I am frankly extremely pleasantly surprised, as I have tried other coaching/classes/therapies. Thank you, Kelsay!”
