"Before this program, I was on the cusp of a much-desired promotion into a large new role at the state system level. I struggled with wanting to feel ready, capable, and enough in all ways, not like I was faking it. I’d spent so long believing that I was not enough of anything. I’d tried therapy before, and I feared with this program I’d find ugly truths about myself underneath it all.

Instead, I’m so enjoying this feeling of comfort in my own skin! From that place, I’m now building and leading in my new position, living into the version of myself that is a disrupter, and embracing my transformational leadership style.

My journey along the spiral timeline to see my ancestors, caring, holding space for life, and cheering me on was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

The mantra we crafted, 'They believe in me,' echoes in my mind everyday as I question another process, another “this is how we’ve always done it” and I keep asking “why”.

My time in this program was powerful and insightful, a gift and investment into myself and my growth. To fellow visionaries and leaders heading into and navigating big spaces in their lives, I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly as coach, guide, and teacher.”

“When I began my work with Kelly, I was 8 months into a mystery illness that had me in and out of hospitals, seeing a parade of specialist doctors and alternative practitioners, none of which were bringing relief – I just kept getting sicker.

I truly believe that Kelly saved my life (and my sanity) during the hardest time of my life. I never thought I would beat my illness and return to a normal life, but my work with her proved that I have the power to heal myself and evolve to who I ultimately want to be.

Through my years working with Kelly, I weathered setbacks, set new goals and took the leap on shaking up my life when I needed it most. I made a massive career and lifestyle change – after Kelly helped me hone in on my desires and what truly would serve me, helping me let go of old narratives I had about myself and my place in the world, and guiding me through the tough transition of forging a renewed sense of self.  

I would whole-heartedly recommend working with Kelly. Mere words can’t describe the changes, benefits and lifesaving techniques I’ve experienced by working with her. I feel real growth as a person and our work heightened and developed the qualities within myself that I feel most proud of, shifted the negative self-talk and made that expanding feeling of “the possible” fuel my path forward, giving me a renewed sense of meaning and purpose.”

Kelly is a wonderful guide and energy shifter. In her Clearing the Way Program, I received clarity around what changes I wanted to make to bring more work/life balance and she provided the insight and tools to help me make the shifts in real life.

“Thank you isn’t enough. This was so much what I needed, not just for today or even for this season, but for deeper HEALING. It’s as if a weight has been lifted. I know there is much more (and ongoing) in the path of BEing. Today I feel endless energy and possibility.”

Sandi Cimino, Trainer/ Consultant, ACEs, Trauma and Resilience

When our early childhood conference planning team was looking for a speaker to address how to positively cope with the impact of the pandemic, Kelly Lubeck was our top choice.  We knew our early childhood educators and caregivers were struggling with grief, loss, layoffs, stress and anxiety. 

Kelly’s session on “Radical Resiliency” was the second-highest attended session.  She expertly provided our attendees with powerful techniques to move their nervous systems from stress to calm.  As a result, her interactive breakout session was the highest-rated session at our 2021 virtual conference.

In addition, working with Kelly as she planned and prepared for her session was easy.  She was conscientious, timely and professional.  I highly recommend Kelly Lubeck for your next conference.

Deanna Carrera, Director of Leadership and Learning, First Things First

“I’ve never felt more connected to a group of people on a screen than with Kelly’s virtual community healing retreat. Everyone showed up to nourish themselves while also offering support to others through smiles and kind words. I enjoyed everything from setting up my special space, to making time for me, to letting Kelly work her guided meditation magic, to releasing the stress of worrying about things I cannot control. I highly recommend engaging with this work!”

Sara Wildenborg, Retreat Participant

“Within the THRIVE program, you have the space to practice some of those healthy exercises you've heard about but may not have tried, or maybe you've tried them but without someone to coach you, you didn't realize the value of it.

Kelly takes you beyond the intellectual knowing into the embodiment of these practices so you don't just know them - they become a way of living.”

Jenna Stoliker, Leadership Coach, THRIVE Participant

”Kelly’s guidance has completely changed my life and the lens through which I view myself. She is outstanding in her practices, wise beyond belief, and everything she does is in support of your higher self.

She has given me the tools I was searching for but didn't know I needed – I now have tools to deal with every situation under the sun and to evolve personally while doing so.

When I began my work with Kelly, I was grieving, feeling into great depths of sorrow over many losses, ranging from giving my son up for adoption nearly ten years ago to my divorce after that.

Our work together has transformed how I relate to my unique life experiences, my intuition and my relationship with my body. I have developed self-love and compassion, and become able to sit with my emotions and grieve well. Kelly is a guiding star and not to be missed. Don't pass up any opportunity to work with this healer.”

Lauren Rohs, Actress, Pianist and RRT Coach

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen or experienced anything that can transform in quite the way working with Kelly has. Her intuition, her ability to connect, to draw out all of the parts, and to be on the journey with me, even though we are 1000s of miles apart, is very powerful.

I went from being a workaholic who was extremely disconnected from my physical body – with unhealthy habits, sleeping 4.5 hours a night, feeling that all of the parts of myself were separate and disjointed – to adopting healthy habits, sleeping regularly and longer, and having excellent nutrition. And the workaholism – it’s gone.

Kelly integrates all of the pieces together in a way that is very holistic and leads to big change that I don’t think you would get otherwise –  from the professional to the personal to the spiritual.

I now have an integrated way of living in the world where I feel all of my parts have come together. I am more honest in my personal life, and I bring my whole self into my professional life, rather than just one piece of myself.

I was skeptical about some of the energetic work at first, but I would do it and then I would feel this great big thing shift inside, in the deepest way. It was both subtle and profound – and my perspective would change. And then I would see it shift outside of me.

From where I began to now, so many things have shifted internally that are now manifesting externally.”

Jalpa, International Development leader

“This program is exactly what I needed to deepen my healing journey. The passion, expertise, guidance of Kelly were amazing.

Kelly offered space, love, healing journeys, journals, light labs and recordings so we can go as deep as we would like.

Our group became our community. I felt loved, accepted, taken care of, I felt SAFE.

I came to learn so much about myself and my own beliefs. I came to learn about awareness, feelings, to listen to my body. This class was truly a blessing in my personal growth and healing journey.”

THRIVE Participant

"Kelly is someone who is wise beyond her years, an extraordinary healer, a gifted teacher of yoga and holistic wellness, and an intuitive, loving, compassionate mother of mothers.

She is, plain and simple, a midwife of souls.

Kelly’s very presence creates a nurturing and safe healing environment.    She is able to create a sense of confidence and trust by her own competence, compassion, and fierce love of mothers and mothering."

Barbara Swift, RN, Shamanic Energy Practitioner and Life Coach, California

“I still don’t fully understand many aspects of what Kelly has done for me, but what I do understand are the transformative effects she created. 

I first worked with Kelly while we were in the midst of a series of pregnancy losses and fertility interventions.  I knew the burden of sadness that I was carrying around was not helpful in any way for a future pregnancy, but I didn’t know how to let it go or how to process it.  With Kelly’s help, I was able to manage those feelings much more productively and to release a lot of the fear that was making me feel shut down. 

I did successfully become pregnant via IVF with a donated embryo. I was worried the baby wouldn’t feel like ours, though, since genetically we aren’t connected. I was also worried that the disconnection I was feeling would harm its growth and development. 

After working with Kelly, I felt so much more connected to this little being growing inside of me and so excited to be a mom.  For a pregnancy that has felt ‘unnatural’ in so many ways, our work together brought me back to the roots of that organic parent-child connection that was missing for me. I am so grateful to Kelly for the work that she does.” 

Jennifer Crawford, MPH, Public Health Professional, Australia

“The awareness I gained from doing this work with Kelly has come to inform the work I do with others: to speak to the emotional and spirit-level responses to situations they face, recognizing that we’re also dealing with heartbreak, trauma, pain and anger at the injustice that so many people have lived.

Essentially, I am able to manifest leadership with great compassion, conveying the great respect and appreciation I have for each person who is working to make a difference. It helps me be more effective in reaching people and helping them engage the work from a more grounded, human place.

I have learned to tap into my inner insights and powers in the work I do. I’m still not getting all of the work done, and I’m certainly not solving everyone’s problems. I’m getting more comfortable saying no, because it is my job to take care of me. That is non-negotiable. But I am entering the struggle for justice from a place of greater grounding, self-awareness and commitment to my own wellbeing.”

Thea, Human Rights Advocate

"When I worked with Kelly postpartum, I was feeling stuck and stagnant physically and emotionally. I was feeling physical pain in my hips, and was upset and stressed about family stuff that was overwhelming me.

In leading me through the energy healing work, it felt like Kelly pulled a cork out and all of the pain, stress and overwhelming feelings were physically lifted and released. What had seemed like physical symptoms disappeared by working with Kelly, and I had also generated more space to interact with my family calmly and feel healthy about it.

I was surprised by how efficiently and comprehensively Kelly was able to get at the core of what was happening for me. She gently guided me to the root and it was as if she extracted the problem at its source, and working with her that shifted the way I connect to my partner, my child and other family members."

Sonia Gonzalez, Public Health Professional, Brooklyn, NY

"When my baby was only two weeks old, my husband and I were having a really hard time adjusting to our new life, with incredible sleep deprivation and total overwhelm.  I was having problems with lactation and feeling like a huge failure not being able to feed my baby.  It was an overwhelming, confusing and tearful time for me, since it was also filled with so much joy and love.

It felt like a heavy layer was removed from me and I was able to see the world clearer, see myself clearer and appreciate what was happening in my life."

Becca Krauss-Carels, Chi Gong practitioner and Acupuncturist, New York

“Movement is essential. Throughout our lives our muscles and tissues can become tight and restricted from trauma and holding emotion. Kelly recognizes the vital importance of restoring movement and the flow of energy in our bodies. I have experienced this in her yoga sessions.  

In just a short time, I discovered greater flexibility, strength and a deeper sense of myself.  She skillfully crafted her sessions to meet the needs of all those who participated, holding us all in a very safe and comfortable space.  Kelly has an enormous capacity to bring about true healing.  I highly recommend her.”

T. Mark Seidelmann, MD, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation / Pain Medicine, California

“Before working with Kelly, I felt like taking time for myself seemed selfish, that I should be doing things for others less fortunate than myself.  Through my work with her, I learned that taking care of myself helps to keep me grounded and balanced, gives me more clarity about how I can help others, and opens up more opportunities to do the work that I love.

Kelly has amazing skills in helping each individual discover her own strengths, direction, and healing modalities.  Instead of a prescribed plan for everyone, she teaches the importance of self-discovery and reflection to find our own unique path.  Kelly guided me to a yoga practice that has become a powerful healing tool in my own life.  My regular practice has been an amazing stress-reducer and has greatly lessened my back pain caused by scoliosis.  

Thanks for everything, Kelly! Your support has greatly impacted my life and - especially recently - given me the confidence to follow my dreams and do what I can to make my passion into my career.”

Elizabeth Hubley, BA, Registered Yoga Teacher, Health Coach, Maryland

"Kelly’s classes must be experienced.  Her knowledge of yoga goes beyond the physical postures. While we hold a pose, she explains thoroughly what parts of the body are being affected, and its benefits.  Her music selection, and the reading she gives of excerpts of great spiritual thinkers, is extremely soothing.  It could not be more beneficial!" 

Monica Reis, New York

"The biggest challenge I faced before joining Kelly’s program was the fear of childbirth, and also feeling like my emotions were out of control.  Practicing Meditation and Yoga with Kelly brought peace to my mind and calmed my fears. I felt wonderful relaxation in my mind and body. Our sessions left me feeling recharged, balanced, and flexible.  She also taught me techniques to take home and practice on my own.

Before giving birth, I did exercises Kelly taught me that I believe helped me to stay as calm and as relaxed as possible in labor. In fact, everyone who attended my labor complimented me on how strong and calm I was. I thank Kelly for helping me prepare for the event by learning how to relax mentally and emotionally.”
