Who Is Kelli?

‘Morning All,

I’m Kelli Murbach, the founder and sole proprietor of Secular Shepherdess.

My journey began in a suburb of cornfields, where I was raised with my younger brother by both of my parents. My brother arrived quite ill, and my parents were faced with raising us without sufficient emotional resources.

Looking back, I spent much of my childhood feeling like I was raising myself. I became a hyper-responsible child dedicated to not making ripples to avoid trouble and further burdening my parents.

This led to an adulthood of isolation and disconnection from myself and others. I’ve spent the last 24 years slowly working my way to being a whole connected human.

Six years ago, I retired from structural engineering to share the power of being seen, acknowledging truths, and honoring choices with folks like you.

Today, I create safe and inclusive spaces, allowing folks to find the internal order they’re missing so that they may be present and alive to the wonders of life. Wielding compassion and pragmatism, I support you on your path toward experiencing connection from a place of sovereign wholeness.

My coaching is flavored by my 21 years of engineering, long-form improv training, a love of storytelling, and a lived understanding of how the lingering effects of childhood trauma impact our lives as adults.

As your coach, I will ground you as you discover where your internal stories knot up and limit your ability to be present. Together, we’ll work at unsnarling those stories so that you can live in life’s flow and meet every moment alive and whole.

When I’m not holding space for folks, I enjoy reading, writing, and pestering my cats, Ollie and Remi.

I look forward to talking with you about Personal Growth Coaching.
