Stress Management Coaching with Kathleen Kelley

As a Physical Therapist for over 30 years and a Physical Therapy educator for 25 years, I was deeply devoted to my profession, health care, and the idea that my calling was to help people. I had spent a lot of time (and money!) becoming both an expert clinician and educator. I was gripping hard to my identity as a Physical Therapist. But I was no longer happy, and I thought it was because of everything outside of myself – changes in the health care delivery system, insurance, and the pandemic. Coaching showed me that everything begins within.

I tried counseling, yoga, yoga teacher training, meditation, meditation teacher training, and divorce. No matter what I did, my mind came with me.  Nothing I did on the outside changed my internal thoughts of discontent.

Then I found coaching. 

Stress Management Coaching will help reveal the thoughts that are depriving you of your own inner shine, your inner radiance. Stress Management Coaching is all about our minds. Whether you need a new lease on staying in your healthcare field or you are considering leaving, you first need to manage your thoughts.

Let’s do this together!

What is Life Coaching?

A life coach is a mentor, best friend, a wealth of advice and knowledge – NOT.

When you hear “Life Coach” what do you think? What comes to mind? What came to mind for me was, “Who in their right mind would want to unscramble my life?” But that’s the key, the coach doesn’t unscramble anything, you do.


Life coaching, within the framework that I learned, reveals your mind to you. My job as a coach is to hold space for you so you can “see” how your own mind works. Life coaching is not therapy or advice. Life coaching is not a session with your best friend or truth serum. Life coaching allows you to examine your own thoughts and feelings and see how these thoughts are BOTH optional AND driving your results. Life coaching provides you with a platform to explore your own mind, in a safe space. As a life coach, I have been trained to

  • Hold space and not judge
  • Reveal your mind to you but not give advice
  • Provide you with tools.

These tools allow you to continue doing your own work. Coaching, when done well, is unbiased.

Working with coaches has taught me to manage my mind and take charge of my results. I no longer blame things outside of myself for my feelings. Well, sometimes I do, then I get a coaching session myself!  And that’s the rub, everyone needs a life coach, even your coach. Because our minds are never quiet or agreeable or calm or organized. Our minds are messy and contrary, disquiet and obtuse, undisciplined and unclear. I won’t claim that life coaching is a cure for the disorganized mind, but, life coaching will help you put things in perspective in a way that advice or therapy never did for me.

Coaching for Decision Fatigue

One reason you may hire a coach is that you are struck in decision fatigue. You can’t decide to stay at your job or leave; buy a new car or get yours fixed; take that continuing education or use the money for a vacation.

Decision Fatigue is Real and Coaching helps!

Coaching for Stress

Stressed out? Anxious? Can’t sleep? Going to work gives you heart burn? What ever the issue might be, coaching will help reveal the thoughts BEHIND the anxiety. And coaching with me will help you choose better thoughts.

Anxiety lives in your body and mind! Coaching helps with both.

Can’t Sleep?

I won’t claim to cure sleep disorders or sleep dysfunction. BUT, when you have trouble sleeping and your mind is racing, ONE thing I have found that is very helpful is to do some kind of breathwork or meditation or hypnosis. Instead of ruminating and worrying about NOT being asleep, give your mind a simple, relaxing task. Yoga Nidra is one such task. Click the link below for a free Yoga Nidra. Try it the next time you have trouble falling asleep.
