KELLY JACQUELINE SMITH
ALIVENESS COACH
ARTIST, WRITER
I work with ambitious and visionary women in actualizing their biggest and boldest lives, connecting them more intimately with themselves,
with what is possible, what they are capable of, and what makes these women come alive.
MY PATH TO GREATER
FULFILLMENT AND ALIVENESS
There was once a time in my life when I didn’t feel very alive. There was a heavy, deadening quality to my days and the feeling that somehow my life got away from me. I didn’t recognize myself, I didn’t know where I was in my life, and I didn’t know what I wanted. Somehow I wandered off from some crucial aspect of myself, became utterly lost, and my life grew stagnant and mis-aligned.
All I knew was that I wanted more for myself, and to experience a life that felt invigorating, soulful, and I was proud of. I knew I wanted to step into my own greatness, become empowered and discover what I was capable of. I wanted to lean fully into my life and relish the evolution. Most of all, I wanted to feel blissfully turned on and alive.
Aliveness Coaching was born out of this deep desire. My path has not been easy or straightforward, but I am grateful for my incredible journey that has made me who I am today.
Everything changed when I made the decision to trust myself and honour my dreams. I knew I wanted to grow into the version of myself that my heart knew I was meant to become, and to significantly expand into my life. There's nothing extraordinary about me. Rest assured, I am a woman just like you who wanted to know the fullness of living, decided I was worth it, and made a choice to go all in to make it happen.
Today, I proudly walk my path, and I am so blessed to be able to guide and support you on your own journey to creating and living a wondrously fulfilling life. You are worth it, and what you want is absolutely possible for you.
Whenever you're ready - I am here to help you take the significant steps toward transforming your life. As a woman who continues to walk her biggest and boldest path every day, I can tell you the journey is worth every step.
Kelly lives just east of the Rocky Mountains in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes the Siksika, the Piikuni, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina, and the Stoney Nakoda First Nations. This land is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
I wish to express my deepest respect and gratitude for the first peoples, ancestors, and ancestors-to-be
of this land, and to the land itself. It is beautiful to live here and come to know this place I call home.
