Meet Kelly

I have always been drawn to the idea of helping people. Even as a child, anything I could do to help, whether it be staying after school to help the teacher, or supporting friends and family, it has always brought me satisfaction to be a helper. Although my former career in accounting was lucrative, there was something missing from my life, and I found that missing piece when I discovered the innate connection between nutrition and mental health.

As someone who had long struggled with excess weight and trauma, this moment allowed me not only to reflect on the healing I had brought within myself but also awakened a need to help others do the same. This opened my eyes to my true calling, and I knew it was my time to use my gifts to help others discover their true potential.

When I was able to find the balance between mental and nutritional health, it brought me a new perspective. I knew I had to help others make this connection too. I had shifted my focus from weight loss to authentic wellness in my mind and body, and my life truly began to transform. Previously, I had been working on these areas separately, not realizing how they are related. With this spark ignited in me, I was on a mission to use my own experience to reach out and help people improve their own lives.

Today, I am a proud graduate of Rhodes Wellness College, Certified Counsellor, Nutritionist, Reiki Master and Life coach. Ascension Wellness is a safe space I have lovingly created to address healing for all on every level. I believe the mind, body and spirit are all inextricably connected, and when they are functioning together in harmony, we can achieve optimal wellness in our lives.

Join me at Ascension Wellness for a trauma-informed, people-focused approach to empowerment. With me, you will find genuine comfort, safety, and connection for authentic results. I am here to support you in your journey. Whatever the journey is, we will work together on a customized plan to transform your life for the better.

It can also be an important reminder that you are not alone.

Nutritional Coaching

Did you know that what fuels your body, fuels your mind? Through a holistic approach, I help people make the essential mind-body connection between their nutrition and mental wellness.

Nutritional coaching can help you break through the patterns and cycles that hold you back from feeling your best. There is no one size fits all - every client has a unique history and everyone has different goals, symptoms, and reasons to seek nutritional coaching. I meet you where you are, guiding you to look at your lifestyle and helping you interpret signs and signals from your body.

Health issues can often cause symptoms that create a vicious cycle, leading to more symptoms, such as stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. My goal is to break that cycle using food as medicine, clearing a path to mindful living.

The media, societal beauty standards, and those around us can sometimes overwhelm us with conflicting messages about food and eating. Nutritional coaching can serve as a beacon of guidance, shining a light at the root of the problem and helping you go within to reach your optimal health.

At Ascension Wellness, you will find empathetic nutritional support to help you make the connection between food and your mind, body and spirit.

Clients turn to me for nutritional support to help with:

-Weight issues

-Emotional eating

-Chronic illness/pain

-Autoimmune issues

-Skin issues

-Eating for optimum health

-Healthy eating on a budget

-Gut issues

-Anxiety/depression

-Stress

-Sleep

Reiki

Reiki is a time-honoured Japanese practice that reduces stress, encourages relaxation and helps to heal the mind, body and spirit. The challenges of daily life (trauma, stress, external environment, etc.) can wear us down, depleting the life force energy within us. This causes imbalance in our chakras, which can lead to “dis” ease.

Chakras are the energy centers of the body, located along the spine. Each chakra relates to specific spiritual, emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of our being.

With reiki we aim to realign the chakras and rebalance these energy fields, allowing the body to return to its optimum state. In a reiki session, energy flows naturally where it is needed, restoring your vitality.

Reiki is safe to use on its own or a as a complement to other practices, such as massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and other paramedical services.

Benefits of reiki include:

-Relaxation

-Increased vitality

-Heightened awareness

-Improved sleep quality

-More ease of movement

-Reduced pain

-Balanced emotions

-Decreased stress

-Mental clarity
