Recovery, Growth & Life Coaching

SHINING BRIGHT

In Recovery & Beyond

“To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake
is to be continually thrown out of the nest.”

— Pema Chödrön

AND THEN WHAT?

Life can be painful — sometimes because we choose to let something go,
and sometimes because life changes without our consent.
These times can feel so groundless.
You do not have to go through it alone.

CONNECTION. PRESENCE. HONESTY. COMPASSION.

I would be honored to walk beside you as you move through this chapter of your life.

SUPPORT THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE

Rebuilding our inner world after loss, illness, sobriety, or major transition takes tenderness and strength.
I offer private coaching sessions — by phone or online — to support you as you navigate this chapter of your life. Please contact me for a free 30-minute consultation.

Kelly A. Beck

Certified Recovery and Life Coach

Coaching has allowed me to turn the hardest times in my life into meaningful work with others. I know how much easier it is to trust support from someone who has lived through similar experiences. I think of my work as that of a life doula — there beside you, offering support, tools, and encouragement as you move through life’s transitions.

In my own life, I’ve faced profound loss, chosen sobriety, left a long-term marriage, survived stage-4 cancer, and rebuilt my life across an ocean. Each chapter required me to evolve — sometimes by choice, sometimes by circumstance — and these transformations shape the way I now support others.

I am a Certified Recovery and Life Coach (CPRC). I was trained and recognized as a Signature Coach with She Recovers — a trauma-informed community supporting women in all forms of recovery. I also hosted the first in-person She Recovers sharing circles in the United States, work that continues to inform my approach today.

My coaching is shaped by graduate-level training in Contemplative Psychology through Karuna Training North America, a three-year program rooted in mindfulness, compassion practices, and body-based awareness to support emotional clarity and resilience.

I am currently completing certification through the Focalizing Institute. Focalizing is a somatic healing modality that helps resolve emotional blocks, trauma patterns, and conditioned thinking by reconnecting people with their deeper bodily intelligence and inner wisdom.

Together, these trainings support the way I work: grounded, embodied, trauma-sensitive, and centered on helping women through sobriety, grief, caregiving, and major life transitions.

I work with women all over the world, offering support across time zones and life circumstances.

I currently live in Alkmaar, Netherlands with my husband, Han, and travel regularly to the United States to visit my four adult children. I love travel, nature, photography, and connecting with fellow “seekers” — those who are walking their own paths of healing, growth, and self-discovery.
