MEET YOUR HOST, KELLIE

I am a lifelong movement connoisseur with years of experience dancing, coaching, teaching, discovering, pursuing, and honing my craft to share my love of movement with people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe.

MY PURPOSE AND PASSION

My purpose is to empower you, no matter your age, to unabashedly live your truth, love your body and find joy in each and every day. 

Connecting with community and inspiring you to live your authentic self is my true passion.

I bring my whole heart and playful spirit to each Bloom Retreat experience. my aim is to help you move, make you laugh, and make you feel something.

Bloom Retreats set you free of limitations. They allow you to show up as you are and proudly, freely and openly express that without bounds, restrictions or expectations. It is my hope that you leave feeling connected and empowered with a greater sense of your mind, body and spirit.

"It takes courage to Bloom"

Magic happens at Bloom

I found Nia® 10+ years ago when I felt depleted, lost and disconnected with myself and my life. I felt much older than my years, stiff and lethargic. I started to get scared as I noticed the trajectory I saw my body and my life was on.

I decided to try a Nia® class and from the moment I stepped into class, I felt as if I was hit by a lightning bolt.

It felt as if I was coming home to my body. As I made Nia® a part of my regular practice, I started feeling more connected to my body, more confident and empowered and I began loving the skin I was in. I finally felt like i was trusting and listening to my body again, and it felt so good.

Nia® gave me the ultimate practice for self care.

After teaching Nia® for a few years, I opened my own studio in 2015 and after hundreds of hours of classes and trainings, I am now an International Nia® Trainer. It is my joy to lead retreats and incredible experiences all around the globe.

But I also knew I wanted to bring this practice and this life back home and share this truly transformational journey with all of you.

After I lost my husband to cancer, I decided to open my home and facilitate retreats – creating a space for healing, movement & a reconnection to nature. The renovations and construction took a little over three years and is now a stunning, welcoming sanctuary for people looking to de-stress, recharge, reconnect, revitalize, and live in the present by choosing joy through movement.

Every day Nia® is my daily grounding of mindfulness, and how I find joy – even during times of great sorrow or change.

I believe that through Nia®’s body and life practice, anyone can tap into their best self. This impacts what you can bring to your family, your life and to your community. I have seen people transform and blossom. It is my purpose to invite people back to a rich and deep connection to their bodies. Bloom provides a safe and welcoming space that gives you permission to really listen to your body, mind, emotions and unique spirit in order to move, nurture, heal and grow. Join me and we can playfully and gently guide you to trust your body’s way. 

When the focus is therapeutic and restorative, I offer safe, gentle, easy to follow movement experiences that allow you to heal through movement. I love to dance and continue to grow a deeper understanding of body, health and spirit through Nia®. It is my hope that retreats at Bloom will inspire you to do the same.

GET YOU MOVING IN A FUN, SAFE SPACE FOR YOU TO LET YOUR INNER BEING SHINE.
