Kelly
Founder, Mom of 2 & Coach
Hi, I'm Kelly!
Thank you so much for being here. I am a mom of two little ones (4 and 2) with over 15 years of leadership and operations experience across tech, healthcare, and professional services. Coaching and mentorship have always been my unifying passions, prompting me to launch my coaching practice in 2019.
When my second baby arrived, a spark ignited. I decided to rewrite the corporate rules. I hung up my corporate hat to dedicate my energy to serving a community incredibly close to my heart: career-ambitious parents navigating fertility, pregnancy, leave, and the return to work.
Our personal paths shape who we are. My first pregnancy was IVF-centered and complex, marked by a Vasa Previa diagnosis, hospital bedrest from week 25, a planned c-section at 34 weeks, and a 6-week NICU journey. My second was textbook. I know firsthand how vastly different and deeply demanding these experiences can be.
