Do you feel like you’re wearing an Edgar suit?

Do you have to approach your work or home in ways that are ill-sized, off color, and uncomfortable?

Are you figuratively itchy all day and exhausted at the end of it?

Does how you live not match how you want to be living?

Do you find yourself feeling extremely out of place, unable to breathe, or stuck in a morass of gunk?

Do consider yourself an alien, robot, or zombie — possibly even a combination of them?

    Alien

    When it feels like you don’t belong in the room because so little of the action is recognizable or desirable.

    You only see part of the playbook the folks around you use to guide their words and actions.

  • robot head icon

    Robot

    When it feels like all you do is follow the directions you’ve created to try and fit into a world that’s fluid and arbitrary.

    You follow the script for living you’ve managed to cobble together, and yet, don’t feel quite alive.

  • zombie head icon

    Zombie

    When it feels like you shamble through life, doing what needs to be done, without having any connection to it.

    You’re surviving and you want to believe there’s more to life than the little bits of connection and joy you experience.

Would you like
to feel seen?

Are you looking for a place where your voice, whether it be alien, robot, or zombie, is wanted and welcomed?

Do you want to experience feeling heard, understood, and supported even in the odd parts of your lived experience?

Consider Working with a Mentor

Mentorship is a peer conversational container.

As a fellow Alien, Robot, and occasional Zombie, I specialize in creating spaces that allow folks the room to be unabashedly odd. This odd safe enough space intends to create the room you need to support and discover who you are with and without your masks.

The approaches we take to living in a world not built to support how we experience, process, and think often leave us feeling more alien, robotic, or zombified.

I offer support and guidance for you to craft a stronger connection with how you want to live your life. How much masking do you want to do? Which masks do you keep? Which faces do you tweak? What approaches need to be relegated to rarely seen emeritus status?

“Kelli exudes empathy and awareness, making you feel seen and heard.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, non-judgmental coach to work with them on their healing journey!” - Toni

Mentorship with me starts from the position that you’re whole, and where you’re at is where you’re supposed to be. This approach means believing you’re a spectacular, growing, and changing human from the get-go, even if you don’t.

As a peer professional, I’m not looking to diagnose you. I aim to provide you with the tools and support you need to live a life of connectedness.

We can address all of the quirks your experiences have brought you, including the overwhelm, social anxiety, and executive function challenges that so many of us suffer silently.

From my perspective, you’re like a plant who is smart enough to know that you may need a bit more support for this part of your life.

As your mentor, my trauma practitioner and somatic coaching training means I’ll be looking at how trauma informs your life and what your body tells us. You’ll get to decide what is suitable for you.

“Kelli is an excellent coach, not only is she analytical and asks great questions, but she is also patient and understanding. With her calming presence, she really helped me uncover the root of my issues. As much as she held me accountable, she was gentle and had a great sense of humor." - Chris

Secular Shepherdess holds space for clients from all walks of life. Their doors are open wide for those who don’t fit the mold of “normal.” However you walk in the world in terms of neurological experiences and expression, gender identification, sexual identification, spiritual practice, and ethnicity, Kelli will meet you with humility and the belief that you are the best person to choose what works for you.

Mentoring is not a therapeutic relationship.

I am not a licensed therapist.
I do not assess or diagnose mental or physical health.
I do not advise on medication or prescribe treatment.

Instead, I come to you as a peer, someone from the outside with education, experience, and steadfastness, so you don’t have to feel quite so alone as you do the hard work of changing.
