What is integrative healing facilitation? Do you feel stuck in life? Or, do you feel a sense of being blocked or disconnected from yourself or others? Are you struggling with a physical or emotional health circumstance and feel like you’ve tried everything but still aren’t healing? Are you in a relationship where you love your partner and feel like your partnership needs to evolve or even categorically change, e.g., conscious divorce or separation? These inner feelings, nudges, and experiences are all valid and often the way that your soul asks for help and healing.
Integrative healing facilitation involves working 1:1 to identify where you’re feeling blocked, stuck, or lost, then applying a tool or modality to support healing and reconnection to your inner strength, courage, and essential nature. Some of the tools that I apply with clients are soul integration, family constellation therapy (i.e., systemic constellation), working with inherited family trauma, guided meditations, energy work, cord removals, journeying, extraction, and removing spirit attachments.
I would be honored to support your journey to find more peace, calm, and optimism in what you may be going through. To connect with me, book a Discovery Session today.
Compared with the heart, our minds are blunt and brute force tools that can get in the way of us achieving a fulfilling, meaningful, and soul-aligned life. Why? Because the mind is programmed by our social, economic, academic, familial, and political programs and belief systems. As a result, we try to use these programs past our upbringing, but they no longer feel resonant and we arrive at a place in life where we feel disconnected from our purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. This is where a heart-wise journey comes into effect. The heart’s wisdom is a more powerful tool to elevate your connection to yourself, others, and a more purposeful life.
In this live-taught program, you’ll learn how to (1) connect with your heart, (2) uncover blocks that hold you back from honoring your heart’s wisdom, and (3) witness the power of heart-wise living. You’ll also learn to (4) embody presence and self-awareness by identifying subtle patterns, hidden shadows, and personal traumas that weigh down your heart so that you can (5) transition into a more heart-forward life. This program will include short lectures and readings, applicable techniques, office hours, partner practices, and complementary homework to support attendees’ progress.
Dates: TBA

“It is incredibly hard to put words to the gift that is Kelly Suttell. She is so compassionate, kind and intuitive that simply being near her is an opportunity to grow and learn. Not only does she give amazing insights into the deep questions that plague you, she is able to take it one step further and give you an abundance of practical advice. Because Kelly has studied many modalities and systems of yoga, she has the ability to give you the personalized prescription of what is most likely to be impactful in your life. I would recommend Kelly’s services to anyone who is struggling to find answers or their way on this journey that is life.” - Karli P.
“I had a coaching session with Kelly the week of my wedding. I was feeling anxiety about family and the imbalances I slip into when I’m around them - the old baggage that stirs difficult emotions from hard-to-identify triggers. Kelly started the session allowing me to talk openly and freely about where I was at - her calming, nonjudgmental, nurturing presence allowed me to share and process in real-time. She then recommended we try two different practices to start and see how those went, letting me know she had a variety of other tools we can try in the coming days. We did two guided meditations that brought me back to center immediately. When we got off our call, I was able to release an immense amount of weight and worry. She followed up by providing me recordings of the practice to use as I needed. The day of my wedding came and I started it with Kelly’s meditations. Never in my life have I moved through a day with so much calm and ease, let alone such a bit emotional day. I told Kelly that was my goal - to be calm, present and generally at ease - and that’s exactly how my day went. Not only does Kelly offer immediate support, love and space - but she has an arsenal of tools that WORK. Her years of practice and study make her an experienced guide; combined with her innate capabilities and who she is as a person, she is a true healer. I can’t recommend Kelly enough. Deeply grateful to have her as a teacher and guide in my life.” - Gabrielle E.
“My session with Kelly left me feeling as though I could exhale when I didn’t realize I had been holding my breath. I went into the session unsure of what would arise, and to be fully transparent, feeling nervous about what would come up. As soon as we began, I felt the space Kelly created was safe and authentic, and I was able to honestly express thoughts and emotions as they came up. I was able to share things that were on my mind, and my stream of consciousness processing, and felt witnessed, heard, and shared with.” - Amelia C.
“The one-on-one purposeful living meeting was absolutely wonderful. Normally I have a hard time speaking openly with my heart. Not so with Kelly, Her kind and attentive nature was so genuine; she made it made easy to open up. It was very clear that she was there to help steer you in the right direction.” - Julian C.
“My session with Kelly transformed the path I will continue to walk. Using compassion, intuition, and grace, Kelly gave light and volume to my truest Self. Her presence was more than a sounding board; she became a mirror for me to see my truth. This gave me the needed confidence to walk in a direction with my highest good at heart.” - Campbell C.
“Kelly, thank you! I deeply value the useful, insightful and practical advice you have given to me. Your capacity for observation and analysis are exemplary. Your humility, kindness and thoughtfulness are very much appreciated. I have put your suggestions into practice and they work really well. I value your gentle approach, your sensitivity and genuine kindness.” - Martina P.

Got 30 minutes?
Yoga Nidra is a conscious relaxation practice that trains awareness and builds concentration. This specific practice is a Chakra Visualization practice from Swami Satyananda Saraswati whose legacy of yoga teaching and experience lives on.
I invite you to dedicate time to sit or lay quietly for 30 minutes for this practice. Before you start, notice your body, your breath, and your Being. After you complete the practice, notice your body, your breath, and your Being. If you feel a sense of calm after practice, close your practice with a reminder that this calm is your natural state and you can access this anytime.
Thank you for practicing. 🤍
Got 15 minutes?
This guided visualization is a beautiful meditation practice inspired by Susan Pullen and intended to create a healthy sacred space. If you are an empathic or sensitive person and tend to pick up on the energy, emotions, and sensations of others, this practice offers an opportunity to reset your own boundaries and calmly connect with yourself.
Thank you for practicing. 🤍
In my work as an Integrative Healing Facilitator, I support people to overcome life’s roadblocks so they can return to the flow of life with a sense of being resourced, calm, and more optimistic. I believe that identifying, resolving, and healing whatever ails us is necessary in order to reconnect with our innate wisdom and live a healthy and whole life. Whatever may be bothering us physically, emotionally, energetic, or spiritually gets in the way of us connecting with who we really are and why we are here. And, it is my honor to facilitate and support others' healing journeys.
What led me to this work? I am deeply drawn to healing work because of my own journey to overcome severe spinal pain. Since 2008, I have also explored multiple healing modalities to overcome debilitating congenital back and neck pain and pharmaceutical toxicity. These modalities include yoga, Family Constellation Therapy (Systemic Constellation), Feldenkrais, physical therapy, PEMF, reiki, meditation, and energetic work. In 2010, I co-founded Yoga for Life with Raj Patra, and in 2016, I set out on my own to deepen what I experienced in my journey to start my own healing facilitation practice and personal development courses.
In addition to working with people one-on-one, I am an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT-500), a Mindfulness and Meditation teacher, and Master Level Reiki practitioner. I also practice a variety of energetic healing modalities, including Family Constellation Therapy (Systemic Constellation) learned from Susan Pullen through her Ways of the Soul program—a comprehensive program on energy and transpersonal work, power retrieval, journeying, dreamwork, meditation, and family constellations grounded in psychology, science, and indigenous practices.
I am incredibly grateful for all of my teachers along my journey who have woken up the part of me that wanted to be well all along. These amazing people have influenced my work: including Marie Manuchehri, Guruji Andrey Lappa, Raj Patra, Ajayan Borys, Ellen Heed, Erika Ebbeson, and Susan Pullen. Thank you All, from my heart.
