Maybe it's because we have been locked up together for the past couple of months, or maybe it's because there are several planets retrograde at the moment...but whatever the reason, many of us have been experiencing breakdowns in our relationships. Not just little breakdowns mind you, but HUGE ones!

"I think we may end up getting a divorce when this is all said and done."

"I can't take one more minute of this! She is driving me crazy!"

"Why can't he just talk things over with me like a normal person?"

Sound familiar...? If not, count yourself as one of the lucky ones and/or single ones. But for those not-so-lucky ones, the struggle is real.

​Part of the problem is that we just don't know how to communicate with each other. We may have tried to talk about things in the past but it ended up turning into a fight so now we don't even bother trying.

What if I was to tell you that with a simple change of perspective that you and your partner could be resolving issues like nobody's business?!? Today's video promises to give you the new perspective that you need...

So what do you think? Easy, right? I hope this video inspires you to sit down together and talk through the issues so you can find your way back to peace and love with each other. 

And if you should need more personalized support, you can always schedule a Holistic Therapy Session with me to help you work through any fears, doubts or limiting beliefs that may be getting in your way.

Please share your experiences after you give the process a go. We'd love to celebrate your successes with you!

​With love & light,

One of the hardest questions I ever have to answer is "What do you do?" You would think that at my age I would have my snappy "elevator pitch" all lined up and ready to go which would sound a little something like this...

I help people achieve their goals and dreams by nurturing their Spirit. I inspire, educate, and empower them to believe in their Self so that they can live their life to the fullest. And I do all that by combining my experience as a Naturopathic Doctor, Personal Growth & Development Trainer, EnergyWorker and as a Life Coach to help my clients reach the goals they have set for themselves.

But even that doesn't come close to what I really do. I've even tried asking my friends and clients for feedback on why they come to me. Their answers make it even more confusing...

• I come to you when I need a new perspective. It's usually right when I think I can't stand my husband for one more second!
• When I feel lost and overwhelmed. Sometimes it's a physical issue, other times it's emotional. But it is always when I am feeling stuck and have no idea how to get myself back on track.
• It's a God thing...you have a way of helping me hear and understand what God needs me to know.
• You help me be a better person. I am a better boss, partner, and friend because of the work I have done with you.

See what I mean? My clients experience all sorts of varied results, so how am I supposed to create a cookie-cutter response to the What Do You Do question...? 

What I have come to realize is that over all of these many years that I have been doing "my" work, that my greatest prayer has been answered. When I was young I would pray every day to be used by God as an instrument of healing...and that is exactly what I witness every day in my sessions with my clients. I get to see them heal physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, in their relationships, through their work, and in the level of joy they are experiencing in their lives.

And now for my confession...
I must confess that in my sessions I am not "doing" anything. I simply show up with the intention of helping, and my clients show up with the intention of healing, and God does the rest. Which is probably why my clients experience so many "miracles". You know the old saying...Whenever two or more are gathered in my name there am I with them (Matthew 18:20). I simply help people access their innate connection to God so that they can heal their lives.

I have always had the ability to see the very best in people, even when they are having difficulty seeing it in themself. I have also always had the ability to "receive higher guidance" in order to help people move forward from where they are to where they want to be with grace and ease. I love people deeply and want nothing more than to see them succeed and be happy. And helping them do that gives me incredible fulfillment. 

A perfect example is my client "Nancy" who was a 26 year old elementary teacher who came to me because she had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and her doctors had all told her there was nothing they could do, and that she needed to get her things in order. She was scared and angry but she was not ready to die, so when a friend had mentioned me to her she made an appointment. She had a clear vision of what her life was going to look like on the other side of cancer and in our sessions together she received clear guidance on what she needed to do in order to heal herself so that she could make that vision her reality, and she did! About 8 months after we started working together she went back to visit her doctor (who was shocked to see she was still alive) and the only thing her doctor could say was that they must have misdiagnosed her. The truth is that they simply underestimated the power that she had within herself to heal. To this day there is nothing I enjoy more than receiving updates from Nancy about her happy life she is enjoying with her husband and kids, and knowing the amazing difference she is making in the life of her students.

What can a Life Coach do for you?
A Life Coach can help you get from where you are to where you want to be in your life. Just keep in mind that the only thing that limits your possibilities with your coach is your coach's own limiting beliefs...so pick someone who absolutely believes in you, and that has helped other people accomplish the same types of goals you have set for yourself.

​As for me, I am just grateful that I get to continue to be an instrument of healing. I am currently working on an online course that I will be bringing to you for free in the very near future. All you have to do to make sure that you are among the first to have an opportunity to join the Launch Into Spiritual Enlightenment Workshop is to join the waitlist now!

It has certainly been the beginning of a fascinating year! It seems like people's anger levels and intolerance's are reaching an all time high. It got me wondering to my Self...what in heaven's name is going on here??? So I started doing a little research (of course!) and I found some interesting information from the astrology world.

For the last few weeks several planets have been creating a Grand Cross in the sky which means different energy patterns have quite literally been "squaring off". That explains why we have been seeing the same thing happening between people everywhere we look. And this Grand Cross is also helping to bring to a close what we started back in 2008. That helps explain why this election year seems way more volatile than any I remember in the past.

The real question is...what does this mean to you? Are you noticing your intolerances being flushed up, and when they do, how are you choosing to deal with it? By reacting with judgement and hatred, OR proactively choosing to love and accept that which you do not understand?

And what were you beginning in 2008? Did you fulfill what you had envisioned, or do you still have work to complete?

For me 2008 was the time when I began to own my talents as a teacher and healer. This morning in my journal I realized that I am complete with that dharma, and am ready to move on to my next journey as an author/speaker. I'm not even sure what that means...but I do know that it fills my heart with blissful anticipation of what is to come.

Take some time this weekend to do a little inner reflection. Imagine how different the world would be if everyone was living a life they loved. That's the vision I'll be holding for you. 

​And promise me you won't put off doing your inner work! You deserve to be living the life of your dreams. As the old saying goes, "If not now, when?"

With love & light,
Keli

Have you ever found yourself uninspired? Or worse yet, trudging aimlessly through life trying to make the best of a bad situation? I'm sure you probably have at one point or another.

Recently I found myself in that very state, and I must confess it was less than pleasant. Luckily for me the universe lead me to this awesome video. It was an absolute game changer for me, and so I wanted to share it with you. Please take the time to watch it, and if you can't do it right now, bookmark this page and set a reminder for yourself to come back to it when you have 20 minutes to spare. You'll be grateful you did!

I give you the ever brilliant Simon Sinek...enjoy!

Finding your why can be a daunting task. It was for me. After three weeks of struggling I finally found my "Why": to create soulful connections so that we can uplift each other to the highest possibility.


If you don't have the time or energy to spend three weeks (or longer) searching, I can help you discover your why in a fabulous process that only takes about 7 to 10 hours. In this interactive, online, video-led course, Simon Sinek guides you step-by-step through his Why Discovery process, and I will work with you as your partner to help you articulate your why.

Sound awesome? It is! Want more info? Contact me. Ready to get started? Click here.

Now for this week's challenge...
Please share below the one thing that really stuck out for you in this video. Unless you know your why, in which case Start with Why. :-)

With love & light,

It's been a very difficult month for me. Watching someone I care deeply for lose himself to his addiction has been devastating. I feel like my heart has been broken into a million pieces. Seeing the sweetest, most tender and loving man I have ever known turn into this dark, twisty, and self destructive being has made me question everything.

But then I saw this video, and things began to make sense. So I watched it again, and it made even more sense. Then I shared it with some of my friends and it made sense to them too. 

Today I want to share it with you...

We are all addicts. Some of us are addicted to meditation, while others are addicted to drugs or alcohol. They are both symptoms of the same underlying cause...our society has become so disconnected that people are feeling increasingly isolated. Many people feel that they are "not able to bare to be present to their lives".

Addiction = Bonding

I loved the experiment with Rat Park. It is probably why I have spent my life creating my own little heaven on earth, and teaching others how to take responsibility for creating their own. Living in a beautiful environment, surrounded by people we love is the key. This video made me aware of how important it is for us all to remember how important our connection to each other really is!

This week's challenge is to expand your "Rat Park". Find a group of people you love and admire, who lift you up and love you for the amazing person you are, and spend time with them. If you don't know of any, create your own! Or join us tomorrow night for the Reiki Healing Circle.

I am contemplating putting together a monthly series of classes, for people who are committed to their personal growth and development, to come together to learn and share their love & knowledge. If you are interested, please let me know. I think it would be an awesome way for us to stay connected.

Please share this information with others. Thanks so much...

With love & light,

Over the past 15 years since I first started practicing Reiki, I have witnessed countless healings on myself and others.

In this short video, I would like to introduce you to three of the many blessings that I have received from Reiki so that you may better understand what is available to you through this ancient healing modality.

If this is something that resonates with you please schedule a session to experience a session for yourself. Or if it really calls to you, reserve a seat for our next certification class.

Recently in a Holistic Therapy session, my client was looking to find clarity on a new business venture that she wants to start.

When we went into the energy work part of the session, she was releasing her own "little mind" and connecting into the One Mind (highest consciousness).  Her higher self then proceeded to give me a message that going forward she needs to focus on asking helpful questions.

Asking questions like, "How can I be most valuable to people through this venture?" sparks the creative consciousness. But when we ask questions like, "Will this work?" it is the ego asking the question, and the answer is bound to be based in fear.

We are all here to experience ourselves as the creator, so we must learn to ask questions that open up the flow of creation. When we ask how to make something happen we are becoming an active co-creator with the divine. If you want miracles to happen, you must first expect them to happen, and then ask the universe to point you in the right direction!

What questions are you ready to receive an answer for...?

Keli Ackroyd inspires, educates, and empowers all people to believe in themselves, and to live life to the fullest.

The simple and honest truth is that your purpose is to be the light in your own beautiful and unique way.
It has nothing to do with what you are doing, and everything to do with who you are being.

Every morning I start my day with journaling and meditation. I journal to acknowledge and release any physical, emotional, or mental stressors, then I meditate to fill myself with the peace, joy, love, light, and Oneness with all that is. By doing this, I set myself up to start the day off by being the highest and grandest version of myself.

It's like a magic wand. When you start the day happy, you immediately get positive feedback from everyone around you. They are kinder, friendlier, and more cooperative in response to the light you are shining, and they become brighter too.

You've probably noticed the opposite can be true too. When you wake up crabby, and force yourself up and out, it seems like one thing after another goes wrong. From the stubbed toe, to the coffee spilled down the front of your shirt, to the traffic ticket...when will it end????

As soon as you remember you are the light, connect to your Source, release your stress and tension, and allow yourself to bask in God's unconditional love for you for a few minutes until you feel your light shining brightly again. Before you know it, the whole world seems brighter, and it is your light that makes it so.

Here it is...

I have the distinct honor and privilege of being a teacher and healer, and because of that I get to witness regular people create extraordinary results in their lives on a daily basis. Some of them have healed incurable cancers. Some have moved out of poverty and into the place of financial security and abundance. And others have healed old childhood wounds that were keeping them from being able to experience loving relationships.

Their stories are many and varied, but there was always one constant among them...each of them had a desired outcome for their life to be different in some way. That desire, or "divine dissatisfaction" was the catalyst for change. It had them recognize that somehow they had created a life for themselves that was not fulfilling them on every level, and they were ready for things to be different.

But you see...in order for things to be different, we must first have a clear vision of what we do want our lives to look like. Creating a clear vision of what your ideal life would look like is the first step towards creating it.

I once had a client who had come to me because she wanted to be free of cancer. When I asked her what her life would look like when she was cancer free, she had no idea. I explained that without a clear vision of where she was going, there was no way for her to get there. She saw herself with a happy, healthy pancreas and complete vibrant health so that she could return to her elementary school children whom she loved teaching...and she did.

What do you desire for yourself in the area of work? Love? Health? And purpose? Visualize it as if it is happening right now. See it, feel it, hear it, smell it, and taste it! Let it be so real to you that you know exactly how it will feel. And please share it with us below, so we can hold your vision with you.

Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. It is when we are in complete alignment with our actions, emotions, thoughts, and spirit.

When we are out of integrity, we are out of alignment, and it wreaks havoc on our inner peace. Have you ever commit to something, started out completely excited and inspired, only to find yourself in a short while becoming bored and distracted? In that moment that you decide to become distracted, you have in a very real sense become divided because your actions, emotions, and/or thoughts are no longer in alignment with your spirit.

If we become so distracted that we end up "quitting" on our goal, surrendering our will to our fears, we put in place a limiting belief that we can't believe in ourselves. And if we do it over and over again...before you know it our word doesn't mean anything to our self, or anyone else in our life.

When I was younger I was late for everything. For me being on time meant showing up within 5-10 minutes of the time I was supposed to be there. And then I met George. We started dating and I really enjoyed my time with him. Then one day he sat me down and said he didn't think he could continue seeing me. When I asked why, he explained that every time I was late meeting him it triggered all of his fears of abandonment, unworthiness, and issues about being unlovable. In that moment I realized that my actions were out of integrity with who I came here to be.

I had made a mistake, and it needed correction...which I immediately implemented. I learned and grew from the experience, and will forever be grateful to George for having been my teacher.

Now some people will make a mistake and beat themselves up about it...punishing themselves for this "sin" that they commit. To them I say: Get off the cross, we need the wood! There is no space for learning in condemnation. The only way to fail is to quit before you learn the lesson.

So if you now find yourself with regrets over things you have left incomplete in your life, it's time to get complete! If you have given your word (to yourself OR others) and not kept it, now is the time to go back and clean it up. Your self worth depends on it.

What have you left incomplete that you are committed to cleaning up this week? Please share below.
