Kelsey is a former collegiate hockey goalie who graduated from college and immediately began an intense corporate career. Her transition out of her sport overlapped with a transition into the professional world which was more disorienting than she had expected. She struggled to adapt to a different identity and environment than the athletic world she’d been accustomed to. She now recognizes this period of transition is very common for former athletes and many are not prepared to navigate it.

In 2020, Kelsey recognized this gap in support for former athletes and decided to become a certified coach. Her practice focuses on supporting athletes transition out of their sport. She helps them navigate a new identity, and to create a new and exciting path for their lives.

Testimonials

“Kelsey does a great job at making you feel valued and safe from the get-go. She makes it clear that she cares about you, your success and your future by guiding you through your goals and committed ways of being, rather than leading you down a path that you or society may expect. She pilots you to self-love by helping you realize all that you already are and have, rather than focusing on what you have yet to accomplish or be. Kelsey will challenge you to get out of your comfort zone but she does so in a respectful and empowering way, and each session with her will leave you feeling lighter, happier, and better equipped to take the next step in your journey.” - Page H.

“I had several excellent coaching sessions with Kelsey.  I came away with a renewed focus and a plan for my goals in life.  Kelsey was a great listener during the sessions and helped me to navigate through various exercises that focused on my core values and what was important to me to ultimately provide a clear path for goals I want to accomplish and how to get there.  Each session had a different focus with different outcomes that were valuable.  I’d recommend Kelsey as a coach!” Andy G.

“Kelsey’s ability to approach coaching as an open, honest, and humble partner has been invaluable to me. During our coaching sessions, Kelsey creates a safe and non-judgmental environment to allow for deep personal insight. I found myself truly looking inward and answering questions about myself that I normally avoid. After working with Kelsey, I have much more confidence to move forward creating the balance I want in my life and listening to my own inner voice in what can be a very ambiguous world. I would recommend Kelsey’s coaching to anyone going through a personal or professional change - her ability to pair her depth of knowledge with her trustworthy (and humorous!) personality to help you identify, challenge, and execute on your own goals is unmatched.” - Sarah D.
