10 things to know about Coaching with Me
I’ll hold you to YOUR OWN highest vision of success (no one else’s).
Your wellbeing is as important to me as your business strategy. Your business is a vehicle for sharing your skills and wisdom: but it isn’t the only thing about you. Our work together ensures you’re growing or scaling your business in alignment with your values.
I’ll treat you like the brilliant, kind, compassionate, motivated + skillful Unicorn that you are and that extends to your business, too; there are no cookie-cutter formulas in our work together. We’ll work together to create a growth strategy that suits you, your one-of-a-kind business, and the marketplace.
I’m a Work From Home Mom and have been since 2011. I get the struggle to balance life, business, home, and work. (Ask me about living between two states for 4 years).
I’m also Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, and have been working in the LOHAS industry since 2007. Beginning with graduate research in functional foods, I’ve been immersed in the industry since 2007. That’s opened doorways to presenting at national conferences, advising large trade organizations, consulting for non-profits and for-profit trade schools, supporting B-corp collectives, and coaching businesses of all sizes (from the micro to the massive). I bring all of my experience and connections in our work together as your Business Coach.
I understand what it means to be neurodivergent in a world that values homogeneity: I’m on the spectrum, am a trauma survivor, and have C-PTSD and ADHD (when I got diagnosed in 2019 it changed so much about my workflow and how I coach others.)
I’ve been training Yoga Teachers, Yoga Therapists and providing Business Coaching for yoga teachers and integrative practitioners since 2011 through my independent wellness institute.
Before that, I owned a Yoga Studio and Ecoboutique in my hometown.
Most of my clients are Integrators + Innovators whose work is multidisciplinary. They hire me because I know what it means to be a pioneer in a novel industry.
If you’ve ever had trouble describing what it is you ACTUALLY do, I get you! (I am you…and maybe I’m the coach for you?) If you’d like to explore what that looks like, start here.
A note from Kellie
Catalyzing your Big Business Idea’s into soul-aligned action is the reason I get out of bed in the morning (well, THAT, and cardamom coffee).
I’m passionate about supporting Healers, Helpers, Change-making Business Owners, and Mission-driven Organizations in realizing their Business Dreams —for a kinder, happier, and healthier world.
And I have the business chops to back it up. I’m the Founder of a Yoga Therapeutics and Wellness Institute, a graduate-trained Nutrition Coach, an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, a Certified Yoga Therapist, and a sought-after conscious business expert.
Think of me like your quirky business bestie who knows heaps about innovating for success-on-your terms in the marketplace…even (and especially) if you don’t fit the mould.
Love, light + fountain pens,
Kellie
““Part of the beauty of coaching with Kellie is that it allowed me to hone in on what my talents and dreams are, so that I may share those gifts with others in a purposeful way. While working through the Inner and Outer work of Kellie’s approach, I not only integrated new ways to structure my offerings, I have also found that in everyday life I am more focused, decisive, and unfrozen! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have the tools necessary to do what I love with a razor sharp vision! Many “thank you’s” to Kellie Adkins for helping my vision come to a reality.””
““Tons more clarity about where I’m going with my work, how to strategically build my business and the confidence to do it! I loved how we worked through business as service. This was an important shift for me. Since my session with Kellie, I signed up 4 coaching clients and am now almost full. I cannot recommend working with Kellie enough! Thank you Kellie! You are very gifted in what you do.””
““I had known for a quite some time that I needed a coach. I’ve been in business for 13 years and had been coached previously —-but had outgrown those relationships. I knew what I was looking for: coaching specifically from a fellow conscious entrepreneur, preferably someone with a similar business model as mine. So when I stumbled upon Kellie, it was a no brainer!
Talking with a colleague who shares first hand knowledge of yoga industry and that can share with me from her experience was the most potent part of the coaching experience. Paired with Kellie’s supportive, realistic and super practical approach, that fresh perspective was invaluable. With Kellie’s support, I was able to improve my visibility, expand my offerings, reframe my business model and get clearer about my mission. Personally it’s always helpful to be held accountable which got me executing a few marketing strategies quickly. Also, Kellie’s coaching notes are succinct, timely and offer loads of help with the accountability piece!
I have seen a financial, personal, and professional return on the investment of working with Kellie and would highly recommend working with her if you want to grow your business.”

““Kellie was exactly the right person I needed to coach me on how to express my true self in the promotion of my business. Because of her knowledge, experience, and resources, along with a very real care and concern for what I wanted to accomplish, I now have a clearer vision of the road ahead and a plan in place that will take my business to the next level. I think of Kellie as a mentor and give her my highest praise and recommendation.””
““After working with Kellie, I feel less frozen and more able to act on things that I know I need to do for my business. I also am more motivated to move forward. I like having a plan set out in front of me and I feel a lot more focused and capable of action than I did before. It feels good knowing there is someone out there who cares as much about my business as do I and is willing to help me in what ever ways she can. The support and knowing that I am not alone in this process is worth the investment!
I also really appreciate the pragmatic, technical side, too. The screen shares and how- to guides were immensely helpful as I’m a visual learner. and “do to learn” type of person. I also like having a plan laid out in front of me with loose/approximate deadlines. Although I probably could have figured some of it out on my own, I never would have gotten as far if I hadn’t worked with Kellie. In fact, I might have given up on the whole proposition and been content to maintain my status quo, completely unaware of my own personal worth and what I could accomplish if I stepped outside of my comfort zone and took a chance on myself.””
““After working 1x1 with Kellie in a VIP Day, I was able to more clearly see the “how” of where to go with my business. I was pretty clear on the who, what, and where, but was struggling with the how. Kellie clearly laid it all out in the form of focused action steps, custom made just for me!
Insight gained: Even though I had been told before that it is not my job to convert the skeptics/soften the resistors, Kellie helped me to shift my focus and to view my business, and all I have to offer, through the eyes of my Dream Client. She pointed out that it is not about “me”, but, instead all about Ms. Dream Client. I found that incredibly liberating!”
”
““Kellie has been a huge help for my business. So much of what I have accomplished is thanks to her. I now find my life is as I had dreamed it could be. My classes are practically full, I am fully booked with private sessions every week. I now wake up with enthusiasm for my day, love the people I work with and feel joyous spending time with them and celebrating their successes. The more I teach my group classes, the better of a teacher I become. Everything I do is a win-win for me and my students/clients. Being a ‘business woman’ is neither tedious nor overwhelming anymore- it is a gift that I give myself everyday. Thank you, Kellie, for your part in making my business reality so fabulous.””
““Kellie is a gem - her wisdom, skill, & compassion as a yoga therapist & coach are unprecedented. Her programs are beyond comprehensive, & her ability to educate others & deliver complex information is always clear & filled with insight.””
