She also holds a certification in stress management. Her interest in yoga and wellness themes and practices has led her to study abroad in India, Africa, and South America.
Kellye’s passion for wellness, eco-healing, and self-exploration was nurtured from the earliest age by her family. Her father an oral surgeon, and her mother a nurse and health care pioneer both with professions in the health and wellness field influenced her. Her great aunt, the late Flemmie P. Kittrell, a doctorate in nutrition, and who served as US Ambassador for the World Health Foundation, also influenced her.
Kellye’s writing and publishing career started with her first column Natural Health, for the New York Daily newspaper. She would later go on to write for numerous magazines and newspapers about yoga, meditation, health, wellness, anxiety, and spirituality.
Many years later, she would start her magazine, Unwind, which focused on addressing workplace stress management, in collaboration with Westfair Communications based in New York, where she served as publisher and Editor-in-Chief for the publication.
Her articles, books, events, and wellness content have led her to appearances in the media, including The Discovery Network and NBC-NY Morning Show, CBS-NY, Ebru TV, and Welnys TV.
Kellye recently received rites of initiation as Earth-keeper by the Peruvian Shamans of the Andes in South America. She feels strongly about eco-healing because our connection with the earth is pivotal to sustaining our humanity and lends much of her eco-healing ideals to her Native American – Oglala Lakota Sioux heritage.
In her free time, she enjoys hiking in nature, creating collage art, and attending music concerts.
My Beginning…
As a child, I spent many days and nights in the company of my paternal grandmother. While sharing her bed, I recall twilight moments of waking up and realizing she was no longer beside me. She was upright in a bedside chair, eyes closed, stock-still and silent, as peaceful, and unmovable as a mountain. My child’s mind found this intriguing, and mysterious.
One day when I finally gathered up enough courage to ask my grandmother about her ritual, she just smiled, saying this was her “quiet time with my maker,” At the time, I did not know that the seed of lifelong wisdom had been planted within me and that it would later take root becoming my lifelong work and purpose in life, and that is to go within—and know the ‘inner-self’.
