We’ve all been there.  Tired.  Overwhelmed with things to do, even at the start of the day.  Caffeine-dependent, sugar-addicted, sleep-deprived and flat-out stressed out.  Disconnected and dissatisfied with our bodies.  Drowning in task lists.  Feeling the light, joy and spirit absolutely sucked away (which actually does really suck).  Or maybe it’s not that bad, but it’s not that great, either.  

Wherever you are, here’s the good news: you are SO on the right page.

Using an integrative approach to wellness, Higher Ground offers 3 ways to create a weekly retreat away from the daily grind:

#1  PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS.  A super-efficient, highly effective, delicious way to get yourself in gear.  In just 1 hour, you will strengthen, challenge, lengthen, loosen up, breathe in and out, take a break, find purpose, generate positivity… whatever your body temple is craving.  Available at home or office.

#2  PRIVATE PRENATAL YOGA SESSIONS, BIRTH DAY PREPARATION AND LABOR + DELIVERY SUPPORT.  An awesome way to prepare for, and honor the time after, the birth of your little one.  Learn more about our trimester-specific prenatal yoga program and doula services on the Yoga Mama page.

#3  SELF-CARE CONSULTATIONS, for a deep focus on extraordinary self-care, including food and nourishment, prenatal/postnatal well-being (including pediatric sleep) and mindful living.  SCCs clear out the clutter in between you and your goals, eliminating excuses, helping you find focus and throwing full-throttle support along the way.

We’re talking Calm amidst Chaos.  Life with Intention.  Access to Unadulterated Joy.  

Read about me (and why I’m in ♥love♥ with this business) below, sign up for free self-care strategies or jump in and apply for a private client consultation.  

One more thing:  our first session is completely risk-free (mm-hmm, that’s right), so you’ve got nothing to lose except the time you spend thinking about it.

And who’s got time to lose?  Not me.  Definitely not you.

About the Owner

Hi.  Welcome.  I’m Kelly.

I come alive by working with women who want to supercharge their self-care, their health, their lives, one hour at a time. Private Yoga Sessions and Self-Care Consultations are my tools. Higher Ground is my platform.

It started during my former career as a business attorney, spending many hours in busy, deadline-driven workspaces.  I discovered then that self-care isn’t just something that makes us feel good — it’s a massive factor in happiness, work performance and sanity.  I’ve been hooked since.  

Now, I get to help women all over the country take better care of themselves, and it’s the best job on the planet.  To see if you might be a good fit as a Higher Ground private client, check out our FAQ page.  To see if we might be a good fit for you, check out the professional background and personal details below.
