Today we’d like to introduce you to Veronica Kelly.
Hi Veronica, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Just like a lot of us, I grew up with early childhood instability and trauma. My parents were just kids when they had me and unfortunately, they were unable to give me what I needed as a toddler. Then my grandparents stepped in. Moving in with them was wonderful but I missed my Mom. Sadly she became a meth addict, homeless, and unfit to be in my life. Talk about abandonment issues… You can’t explain that to a 4-year-old. But I had a stable home with my Grandparents and finally was able to stay at the same school all the way through the school year! Then, unfortunately, both of my Grandparents died suddenly when I was 18, and that set me into a tailspin. I spend most of my 20s making self-destructive choices and living my life fast and loose. I was self-sabotaging with drugs, alcohol, and avoidance. It wasn’t until I was 29 that I noticed I couldn’t save money and I had never had a serious relationship. That is when I finally took responsibility for my life and got help. I learned through therapy that I had a subconscious belief that I was unlovable and unworthy.
I tried all the therapy – Talk therapy, hypnotherapy, retreats, meditation, reading books, going to seminars…. but nothing changed in my life.
Then I found the Emotional Freedom Technique and deepened my Yoga practice and I finally learned to love myself. I processed and moved the old traumas and beliefs through my body and programmed in new ones. I quickly noticed my entire life change, My savings account grew, my relationships improved, I easily made healthy lifestyle choices and I attracted a committed healthy relationship that has changed me on a soul level.
I know this was all a result of my authentic return to Self Love… Finally.
This is why I now shout from the rooftops that you, too, can heal!! I got certified in both E.F.T. and Yoga, and I have been working with people for the last 8 years. I am so passionate and inspired by the simple and effective lifelong changes that come when facing your feelings and commit to loving yourself.
If I can do it, so can you!
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
In 2020 my 5-year relationship ended suddenly, and it brought me to my knees- literally. I was in Los Angeles jobless due to the pandemic and unable to pay for our apartment alone. I left the entertainment business in 2019, teaching yoga full time and taking coaching clients. Due to the pandemic, my clients dried up and my yoga studios were shut down.. I was completely shattered, heartbroken, alone and had no idea what I was going to do. So I got on my knees and turned my life 100% over to Spirit. That is when I pledged to completely be of service to the community and my clients. Through a series of wonderful events, I found my way back to Texas. Rumi says, “The wound is where the light gets in.” That heartbreak and the total surrender that happened, as a result, has totally changed the trajectory of my entire life. It broke me open and filled me with Spirit’s inspiration, and fueled a fire for my life’s purpose.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a Self Love Coach and Spiritual Mentor. I am a practitioner in Yoga, EFT, Meditation and Sound Healing Therapy. I work with the client to get to the root issue that is keeping them stuck. Each session is unique to the person in the room with me. We use different modalities to move through and process the belief or trauma that is keeping them stuck. We then work to return them to authentic self-love and acceptance so they can now create a life they love. We find balance through EFT, Yoga, Breath Work, Chakra Clearing, Inner Child Meditations, Ho’oponopono and Sound Therapy. Most importantly, I teach you these skills so that you have them in your toolbox for life. I am all about giving you the tools you need to navigate life when it hands you lemons.
I also host events all around Austin at 3rd Eye Meditation Lounge and Sanctuary Yoga. My signature class is Mastering The Art of Self Love- this class is magical and goes deep! I have a 4-week Self Love online deep dive course I offer- this class will shift your life in a profound way. I am also putting together retreats for 2023.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
I love to lecture, teach, do retreats and events. I am happy to contribute my knowledge and skills to any holistic events and trainings. I am fantastic at connecting and speaking in a way that is thoughtful and empowering, giving people practical skills they can take home and apply to immediately see improvements in their lives.
