about me

Building my practice has come from years of practice and study and application in community based settings. My path has taken me from housing and homelessness, peer counseling, program design and management and countless hours in community learning and growing.

a.kelly coaching and consulting provides individualized facilitation and leadership workshops to assist leaders of colors achieve their professional goals. With an emphasis on restorative and somatic methods.

I have been dreaming of a professional life that allows me to combine my love of program design, belief in the wisdom to be found in community and interest in healing justice facilitation. I view all of my work as an opportunity to support individuals and groups to become who and how they want to be in relationship. My work intends to support leaders in building internal capacity that supports their goals for community. Whether you practice at home, at work or in relationship...I look forward to supporting you in meeting your goals.

My work is informed by my social work education, coaching, transformative justice practice, energy work, somatic work and learning in community. I pull from all of my skillsets and experiences to support my clients in finding greater connection with themselves and the communities they love. 

My career started with capacity building in nonprofits which ultimately lead me to pursue an MSW with a focus on what it takes to manage and design programs that meaningfully includes community wisdom.

  • Emergence

    I was introduced to the idea of Emergence through adrienne maree brown’s work, ‘Emergent Strategy”. Working with community leaders has taught me that in order to bring the changes we hope to see, we must grow our ability to embody our values in all parts of our life. My work considers your whole life and identity as an important part of developing.

  • Community

    Community is at the heart of everything I do. Leaning into the wisdom and power of community has been my greatest teacher.

  • Transformation

    I want to live in a world that allows us all to belong, heal and create conditions that leave us all changed by taking risks in service of showing up for each other.
