Co-Founder, Visionary, Marketing Director, Reality Bender.

Kelsey is a big hearted, outspoken, polarizing wall-flower, rarely spotted out past 9 pm.

Being the co-creator of a trauma healing modality may seem like an odd pursuit, considering her foul language and neck tattoo - but going against the grain is what she’s known for.

Rocking radical transparency and the ability to make even the blackest sheep feel normal, many people feel like they know her, but very few actually get the opportunity to.

Her highly engaging and entertaining lectures within her academy are both magnetic and ironic, considering she didn’t even finish high school.

Showing her community how to break free from societal chains, pressures and limitations is one of her main driving forces, proving first hand that you can bend reality and create the life you WANT - regardless of external noise, personal history or archaic paradigms.

Often found wearing a hat and sipping on bougie water, Kelsey’s endless ideas and ability to think outside the box will have you inspired to create new realms you never thought possible.

With her and V’s spontaneous move to The Sunshine Coast, you’ll find her getting lost in their back 40 rainforest, taking photos of her beloved Italian Mastiff and stunning ragdoll, scaling mossy banks, or sipping americano’s on the ocean side.

Conductor (aka: operations/project management genius!) and creative Communications peep on the team.

She’s a kooky, creative Gemini who finally embraced her Virgo Rising… finding yet another creative outlet for herself in the work of organizing systems, developing processes, and strategic planning.

Maybe it’s her planetary placements and alignments, or the way her brain works, or BOTH... but Katt is always thinking strategically and has an uncanny ability to synthesize complex ideas and help turn nebulous visions into reality by capturing high level strategies and then breaking it all down into actionable steps.

Around EHA, Katt is known as the ‘creator of magical spreadsheets’ - which is just one of the ways she exercises her creativity while creating order, harmonizing information, and generally gettin’ sh*t done! 

She gets lit the F up about shifting the collective consciousness, systemic change/innovation, social justice, and decolonization. Katt is really F’n interesting. She’s full of surprises and stories, hilarity and silly accents, song lyrics and movie quotes...and ideas (big and small) flow through her with total ease. 

She was a professional photographer in her twenties and early thirties, specializing in photojournalism and portraiture. She’s a community developer and organizer and has produced live music events and conferences, worked as a leader in the nonprofit sector, and her first job when she lived in Toronto was as a ZOMBIE in the club district (seriously, that’s for real, ask her about it.) 

Katt is the conductor of the EHA ‘orchestra’, helping to harmonize all the Empowered Healers Academy has to offer. She is our community liaison for the S.I.T. Healers Network, and has a myriad of creative skills she puts to use in her work, from writing to graphic design to strategic ideation. Her biggest challenge is that she doesn’t have the capacity to exist in parallel realities, yet. 

The Behind-the-scenes Mastermind, or more formally known as EHA’s Creative Administrator

André’s the 21-year-old virtual assistant prodigy of EHA, reppin’ all the way from the Philippines, and a spicy lil’ addition to the team!

All things audio-visual, may it be your Welcome Box, an EHA brochure, the Podcast teasers we drop, up to this very webpage you’re looking at right now - all of these went through André’s magic touch. 

She turns our content into spunky, eye-catching, yet easily digestible, materials! Always aiming to capture that high-quality rawness and fiery energy that EHA never fails to uphold in all of their assets.

Aside from her ingenious talents, she’s also got the soft skills perfect for the team—she’s a team player, someone understanding and patient with whatever task she’s given. But most importantly, she understands that, sometimes, the things she’ll be dealing with contain a lot of sensitive content, so she’s got the strong “brush it off” attitude that keeps her grounded without neglecting compassion and concern. 

With the amount of life-changing and trauma-unlearning sh!t we deal with over here, André’s got the perfect mix of ball-busting professionalism as well as a socially aware empath. 

And if you ever decide to join EHA as a Facilitator, she’ll be there to lend a hand, from providing support and insight to collaborating with you to develop your own course within EHA. Whatever it may be, you’ve surely got her as a team member to lean on!

Embodied Human

At a glance AshVal might seem intimidating and intense. Her posture commands authority and you’ll get this feeling that she’s looking at you a little different, and that’s because she is.

AshVal is skilled and highly attuned to the nuances of human behaviour, movement and language, and how each of them affects the entire being. She reads between the lines to see your truth, helping you become a truly Embodied Human.

One of her favourite slogans is ‘Consistency breeds trust’ and she helps you apply this to every relationship in your life, most importantly the one you have with yourself. When you trust your mind, body and soul, your life has no choice but to get better.

She’s not all work and no play though. AshVal is the Queen of dry humour and dad jokes and would dance to Taylor Swift all day given the chance. She’s also an aspiring cook and makes one of the meanest French onion soups out there.

Once you get past the intimidation factor you’ll find AshVal is one of the easiest most grounded and non judgmental people to be around and you falling in love with yourself is her greatest reward.
