A little about Me

Hi, I’m Kelly—the person behind Release & Rise Co.

I am a mother of three beautiful and amazing adult daughters, a lover of music, my fur baby and someone who feels incredibly grateful to be creating a beautiful life with my partner here on the Sunshine Coast.

For much of my life, I experienced depression and anxiety. Feelings of irrelevance, exhaustion and little hope.

I know what it can feel like to lose connection with yourself, to move through the days feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and to wonder how you will find your way back to feeling like you again.

Over time, I began introducing many of the tools I now share with others into my own life. Breathwork, meditation, self-reflection, holistic practices and small, intentional changes helped me reconnect with myself and begin participating fully in my life again.

They didn’t make every difficult moment disappear, but they gave me practical ways to support myself, understand what I was feeling and create meaningful change. Little by little, I began to feel as though I was coming back to life—and went on to create an extraordinary life filled with greater connection, possibility, love and purpose.

My experiences are a large part of why I’m so passionate about supporting others. I believe that sometimes we need a safe space to pause, gently feel what we have been carrying and reconnect with the parts of ourselves that may have become lost beneath life’s demands.

You don’t need to have everything figured out, and you don’t need to become a different person. Sometimes, change begins with one honest breath, one small step and the willingness to meet yourself exactly where you are.

Arrive as you are. We’ll take it from there.
