About
Kelly is a mystic with a deep connection to nature and this, combined with her intuition, are foundational to her work.
Kelly is a Board Certified Coach (BCC) and ordained Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister. She holds a Master of Divinity from Iliff School of Theology. UUism allows her to be spiritually fluid - fluent in many of the world's religions but forcing none of them.
Kelly is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Minister Association and Spiritual Directors International and is a certified Justice Movement Chaplain. She is an adjunct instructor at Iliff School of Theology and on the Board of Directors of UU Wellspring.
Having completed the Level 2 Usui Reiki Practitioner Certification, Kelly combines that with the Celtic Ogam (support from trees and plants) to clients who request energetic balancing and support. She has completed two levels of the Kamana Independent Study from the Wilderness Awareness School (naturalism training). She's finished the first grade (Bardic) and is finishing the second grade (Ovate) of a three- grade Celtic training. And she is in a two-year course on Celtic Myth and Religion led by Harvard-trained Celticist, Sharon Paice MacLeod.
Her deep and diverse experience in ministry, chaplaincy, justice work and business enrich her work. Before attending seminary, she had a twenty-two-year career in business which included working for Procter and Gamble, Computer Associates and General Electric. For twelve years, she and a partner led a woman-owned business to offer consulting and leadership training to small and large organizations.
Since her call to ministry and ordination, she has served as pastor of three congregations. Committed to dismantling all forms of oppression and structural inequality, Kelly strives to practice cultural humility and advocates for justice from the heart and soul. Some examples:

About Systemic Racism in the United States
The 400-year-old virus of white supremacy culture in our country continues to injure and harm us all, but it harms communities of color most. Black Lives Matter. South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu said, “If you are neutral in times of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” I believe it is time to end patterns of racism, bias, and dominant culture in our nation.
You may be wondering how to do that. How do you act and speak from your soul so that your ego and own pain don't bring more hurt into the world? How do you avoid saying the wrong thing? How do you follow the voices of the most marginalized? How do you combine your spirituality and activism - all while protecting yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19? Maybe you're a justice warrior and wondering if you're doing enough. I find when we drop into our center, ground to the Earth and get silent, we can hear our true selves, our inner teachers. That leads to action. My hope is to support you spiritually as you do that.
