As Your Guide

 
It is in your vulnerability that you find your greatest strength.
— Kailean Welsh
 

Years ago, I found myself trying hard to understand “what it’s all about,” Life wasn’t making a whole lot of sense to me. It seemed the harder I tried to ‘do it right,’ the messier my life became. I became depressed, self-judging, and more confused.

I found my way to 12-step groups, which ignited a spiritual quest that I now recognize was smoldering deep inside all along.

I started exploring.

I packed up my three young children and moved across the country to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to study and work at Sancta Sophia Seminary, a center for metaphysical and spiritual studies. I took classes in Esoteric Christianity, World Religions, Levels of Consciousness, Meditation, Energy Healing, Intuitive Development, and more. I soaked up all the information I could absorb.

Fascinated and intrigued, I came to realize that the universe is far greater than we yet understand or imagine. I found another layer of human existence—one that underlies religious and cultural beliefs—that frees us to a new way of being.

Now, as ancient wisdom teachings and quantum science come together, we discover we have all the tools we need to create a life that is rich with possibility and self-fulfillment. As we heal core wounds and clean up toxic emotional debris we burn brighter.

It is a process of self-acceptance and transformation that is exciting, freeing, and on-going.

It’s where the magic happens.


More About Kailean

I make my home in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. It is a special place of natural beauty, left untouched by the glaciers of the Ice Age, offering a pure and ancient energy for healing and wellbeing. It is also the hub of the organic farming movement—part of my family legacy—which reminds me how important it is to follow my passion, regardless of how well it fits into social standards and expectations.

Educationally, I have a BA in Criminology and a MS in Counseling Psychology. I am licensed in Wisconsin as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and am certified in Pastoral Counseling and Holistic Psychotherapy. I am also a Reiki Master and on-going student of alternative and vibrational healing practices.

I like to write. Communication is so important, and yet so challenging to find the right words to get our message across. I am a contributor in four anthologies of Inspiration for a Woman’s Soul and am the sole author of Blazing A Trail: The Unconventional Life of Harriet Hosmer, a local history story that fueled my passion to break free of the confines of the traditional mental health system.

I love deep conversations and a good laugh. Favorite leisure activities includes a body of water, a warm sun and some good reading (usually an astrology book or some deep metaphysical text). A local Song Circle, weekly Lectio Divina gathering, and the purity of the natural environment I live and breathe within help me keep my feet on the ground as I reach for the stars.

Everyday is a chance to see another miracle.
