"I'm a mover on a mission to help you let go"
In tandem with my artistic career, I have been certified as a Trauma informed life-coach (Transformational Arts College) studying somatic processing, meditation, mindfulness, thought-work and the Polyvagal Theory. I work with clients ages 15 and up: From dancers and mothers to teachers and entrepreneurs.
I am committed to helping you let go of patterns of suffering, in order to feel more at EASE; Comfortable in your skin, worthy and confident in order to achieve meaning, fulfillment and self- acceptance. This one precious life is short, I want to help you enjoy it.
Patterns of pain, suffering and resistance are imprinted and deeply rooted in the subconscious mind and the energy gets stuck in our body. Therefor my approach to coaching is expressive and holistic; meaning WHOLE: Looking at Mind, Body and Soul (Spirit). The work is not therapy. It is informed by your PAST, but specifically focuses on finding what feels TRUE for you NOW. What's holding you back? What unhelpful stories are you addicted to? Together we will unlock your potential and create action steps to move towards the FUTURE you desire.
I collaborate with you using creative and multi-disciplinary tools including: thought-work, visualization, writing, movement, art, meditation and breathe-work to rewire old, stubborn neuroplastic pathways.
Lay down your resistance.
I invite you to LET GO with me.
I'm Kelly Shaw.
A multi-disciplinary artist; dancer, actor, choreographer, teacher and coach. Expression through art chose me, and has been one of my life's greatest gifts and vehicles for growth. My connection to healing through expression and art, inspired me to become a certified life coach, offering support to growth-oriented individuals who feel stifled by the overwhelm of their thoughts and feelings. Those who struggle with physical/emotional and mental wellbeing. Those feeling stuck and overwhelmed, yet hungry to feel more empowered, confident, fulfilled, healthy and capable of achieving what it is they truly desire in life.
While working as a successful professional performer (Toronto Metropolitan University, BFA Dance), teacher, fitness/pilates instructor and choreographer for over 15 years, I simultaneously devoted myself to a deep and transformational self-development journey to understand my inner world. From a young age I felt I was "TOO MUCH", with no idea how to process my big feelings.
I never felt enough, and developed brilliant coping strategies: high achieving, people pleasing, perfectionism, controlling food/my body to name a few. I struggled with my mental health, adrenal exhaustion, hormonal imbalances, injuries, and constantly relying on outside validation to determine my worth. I was living out my "dream life"- but saying YES when I meant NO, staying in toxic cycles, afraid of being alone and struggling with low self-esteem daily.
After years of personal excavation, I now live a more FREE & ALIGNED life. I embrace CHANGE and LETTING GO of control. Knowing what is possible, has led me to support others as they also re-discover their inner spark, freedom and endless potential! You deserve peace and fulfillment and it's available to you.
