Keli is no stranger to mind, body and spirit awareness. She first started practicing transcendent meditation at the age of six, when her mother took her to learn Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) and was re-certified at the age of 25. Keli is now a Chopra Center Certified Transcendent Meditation (PSM®) Instructor, Forgiveness Coach and AoB Breathwork Facilitator and Mentor.

Keli is the Founder of “The Other Side of Average – Therapy for the Soul” and transformational forgiveness coach. Her goal is to help conscious women and families learn and master the three most essential tools that help align you with your soul’s purpose — your essential nature and the truest expression of yourself — all whilst healing and transcending past resentments and stories that have kept you stuck and in pain. It is then that you experience the miracles and fulfillment of life in every moment (especially during life’s inevitable obstacles).

Keli’s philosophy is not to become your guru or healer but rather to inspire change, share essential strategies and hold the space for you to bring light to your darkness, and help you reclaim the power you already have. Awakening becomes awakened. It is all there within you; you are enough. You just need space held for you, as you learn the proven tools and embody the rituals needed for this awakening or power to become realized.
