Kelly Kessen: Health & Wholeness

Kelly Kessen, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac., M.Ac. Functional Medicine & 5-Element Acupuncture I’m so happy that you’ve taken a moment of your day to consider YOU!

Whether it’s your body, your mind or your spirit that needs attention, you’ve come to the right place. It is my belief that body, mind and spirit are interconnected, one in the same. Sometimes our energy can become stuck, stifled, agitated or depleted. This can cause symptoms to appear, on any level. Whether it shows as bodily illness, mental confusion, or emotional distress, the consequences can be intense, scary, even debilitating. It is my goal to team up with you to get your energy flowing in its optimal, natural way. By doing this, my hope is to help relieve any discomfort or distress you may be experiencing, to offer a platform for you to rediscover your soul’s longing and set you up to live the life that you dream to live. Receiving acupuncture treatments can be a powerful and transformative process. I invite you to join me on a healing journey.

Inviting YOU into more YOU-ness,
not more me-ness or anyone-else-ness.

We need YOU.
Your gifts.
Your uniqueness.
Your truth.
Your experience.
Your magic.

Quit playing the Blame Game with your health.

Look inside.
Listen more carefully.
Ask for support.
Explore deeper layers.

Health is complex.

I’m here to help.

VITAL begins April 1st.

Reveling in the dance of light and shadow (and all of the places in between)

My soul yearns for freedom, for expansion and expression, for WILDNESS
The rebellious parts in me snaps:
“Don’t tell me what to do…
or how to do it…”

And yet I want to be led, guided, shown the way.
And the scared part says:
“Someone please just fix this for me”

Both of these are true for me at times.

When we consciously step fully into a healing container, various parts of us show up.
In fact, they show up anytime we feel challenged or unwell, regardless of our intention.

What I have found missing in many approaches to health and wellness is
the awareness of,
honoring of,
and conscious relating to
ALL of the parts that show up.

We self-sabotage, rebel, overperform, blame, procrastinate, push, avoid, fixate, throw shade and shame all over ourselves and all around us.

What are your patterns that come up when you approach a symptom that your body is presenting you with?

Our commitment in VITAL is to look for these patterns with you and to welcome them into the healing temple for a nice long bath.

Wherever this pattern came from, it has been expertly created by you for your own protection.

Brilliant in its nature
Yet past its expiration date
Ready to be honored and released to the wind.

We will support you in caring for the wounded parts underneath these expired patterns as you come closer and closer to the miracle or your own body’s healing capacity.

This holistic approach offers you an opportunity to heal.

From the inside out.

VITAL: Month 3 Exploration
Visioning + Ritual

Dropping into depth of intention and the sacredness of your life, we dig deeper into what you currently understand about your deeper purpose and your deeper desire for your service to your family, community, and the world around you.

How does your body need to feel in order to offer your gifts more fully to the world?

What does your life need to look like?

What kind of support do you need?

How do you want to feel in your day to day life?

What does it mean to you to live a life of sacred purpose or revolutionary creation?

Creating and implementing Intentional Ritual into my daily life has been one of the most powerful gifts I’ve given myself to support my alignment with my sacred purpose!

What might change in your life when you devote to yourself and your life at least once a day?

VITAL: Month 2
Nutrition + Nourishment

We approach nutrition though relationship with food (and self) rather than through restriction or dieting.

Developing a two-way communication flow between you and your body, and for that matter between food and your mind, body, emotions, and essence.

Typically, our relationship with food is embedded within the relationship of all of our parts, including our childhood parts, adolescent parts, our rebel, our perfectionist, etc.

Our emotions are often intertwined with how, when, what and how much we eat.

Slowing down and examining how we relate to food, and how our bodies, minds and emotions respond to certain food can be an illuminating experience.

From there, we use the wisdom that comes from you (all of your parts) and your relationship to food to determine our approach moving forward.

Specific styles of eating might be supportive for certain periods of time in order to address things like candida or other gut infections or healing leaky gut/food sensitivities.

VITAL: Month 1
Assessment + Acceptance

Our starting point together, we take a deep look at how you currently feel; your symptoms, your emotional experience of life, your nervous system, your current habits, patterns, beliefs, etc.

Then we work to create a relationship of acceptance for where you are now. Honoring all that has led you to this place, we reflect together on the challenges, the grief and loss, the accidents and injuries, the impact of your environment and the current perceptions that you hold.

We also take a deep look at your lab results and begin to develop your supplement protocol and lifestyle recommendations to support the fullest functioning of your bodily systems.
Taking in the full spectrum of the person that you are, we can begin to paint the picture for how we will work together for 9 months.

From here you can begin to feel into your vision for how you want to feel and show up in your life, for yourself, for your family and friends, and for your deeper life purpose.

This is your chance to choose how you want to show up for yourself, and in turn, for life and the world around you.

Are you ready to be more deeply aligned with your truest expression, creativity and aliveness?

This is your chance to drop into devotion to your life…and to life itself.

I’m sure you’ve heard:

Gut issues cause waaaaay more problems than gut symptoms.

Of course if you’re having GI symptoms, most definitely take a look under the hood.

But if you’re experiencing pretty much any other symptom that you don’t know the cause of, test your p**p y’all!

It’s so commonly overlooked in things like ADHD, brain fog, mental health, headaches, hormonal challenges, fatigue, skin issues, the list goes on.

And honestly, if you tested your poo years ago and new symptoms have shown up or returned or worsened…

Or if you’ve never tested but you’ve done all the cleansing and protocols and nothing helped…

Just take a peek on the inside.

It’s easy.

And it just might be a turning point in having a better experience in your body!

Who wants to come drink tea with me in Boulder?

We will have a silent tea ceremony followed by a brief open share and connection time.

THURSDAY, Nov 17th 8:30am

(Only 4-5 spots available and a few are already taken, respond here or in DM’s to rsvp)

I have a deep respect for tea and how all of the elements interweave to bring her to life. Being with her has taught me more in the past few years than any other teacher.

It is my honor to share her with YOU!

More dates to come 🍵

A shout out to my teacher of tea and dearest friend

She has a tea retreat coming up in January as well as “Start Your Own Tea Practice” course next year 💫

I HIGHLY recommend learning from her and our beloved friend Tea.

I’m here for more than self-acceptance…

I’m here to fully EMBRACE myself.

To hold myself closely in my own arms.

To commit eagerly and enthusiastically to my vitality.

Embrace my body; all of her needs, beauty, quirks and food reactions.

Embrace my emotions; their dynamic expression, range and wisdom.

Embrace my mind; it’s mad skills, even when it gets carried away or distracted.

Embrace my essence illumination, even when it means I have to re-route my entire life to align with it’s directive.

I’m no longer available for self-criticism, judgment or negative self talk.

I’m no longer available for constant comparison or not-enoughness.

I live in celebration of aging.
I live in the reality of feeling more fabulous each year.
I live in devotion to more aliveness and expression.
I live fully aligned with my right to be me.

If you’re called to feel this type of freedom…

This is where VITAL can take you.

Building and creating more VITALITY in my system has been a deep devotion of mine for many years now.

I’ll let you in on a lil secret…

Although a HUGE part of what I do is assessing Functional Medicine lab work and recommending supplements, nutrition and lifestyle changes to support your current body make up…

It’s not enough.

It’s not ok to hand someone a protocol or a prescription and send them on their way.

It’s not appropriate to tell someone they need to “exercise” more, eat “better”, or feel their feelings.

Because all of the CONTENT that shows up IN THE MIX of this work is where the juicy part lives!

While you get dressed to go to the gym…
During a potluck when you’re sensitive to gluten…
When committing to taking supplements daily…
While developing a meditation practice (for the 10th time this year)…

This is the squirmy part y’all!

This is the squishy, sticky part…where all of your s**t comes up…and we dig deep and access your devotion.

We meet the squirmy parts and navigate them together.
We acknowledge the pain, the emotions, the shame and release it to the fire.
We curate a new playlist for the background of your life.
We rewire outdated perceptions and create ritual for the new way forward.

VITAL isn’t about some quick fix miracle pill.

It’s a journey of self-inquiry and LIFELONG devotion to your VITALITY!
