My name is Kelsay Elizabeth Myers, MFA, RSME, and I'm a published author, Certified Transformational Life Coach and Expressive Arts Practitioner, and Registered Somatic Movement Educator living in Marin County, CA. My path has been to embody myself, to truly accept what arises within me and express it, so I can be of service to those who are ready to claim their own power.

I look at myself, others and the world and try to create something beautiful from the composition, and sometimes, from the wreckage. I’ve spent my entire life uncovering more and more layers and facets of who I am. Among my many facets: I am a woman, a lesbian, a millennial, a Korean adoptee, a writer, a mixed media artist, a dreamer and a trauma specialist who works along the edges of the mythic self, trauma resolution and compassionate change.

My work focuses on uncovering deeper layers of the self, redefining the roots and foundation of each individual's own self-expression, and recapturing their creative life for inner healing and wholeness. I help people experience safety within themselves, increase their capacity to feel and experience more in life, and live easefully with less overwhelm, stress and anxiety, so they are free to express who they are in the world, go after their dreams and expand what they think is possible.

With dual M.F.A. degrees in Creative Writing from Saint Mary’s College of California and certification as an Awakened Life Coach, an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy and Tamalpa Institute Life/Art Process® Practitioner, I have 14 years of experience teaching, researching and collaborating in embodied ways of knowing, identity integration and ways of understanding the self, what makes a meaningful life and using the arts for personal and social transformation.

Through my award-winning business, Dialogical Persona Healing Arts, I offer cutting edge transformational programs that help people to dance, define and dream the life that feels most true to them.

In a society that tries to tear down what is most precious about us through trauma, loss, neglect, or whatever experiences we encounter that take us away from our own sense of self, I help to restore it fully in mind, body, heart and spirit. My clients learn to make empowered decisions, set boundaries clearly and expand their capacity to feel, express and take action from a place of sovereignty.

One of the greatest gifts I received from expressive arts has been the mirroring, active witnessing and integration of my whole self. I want more people who experience trauma, disconnection and fragmentation, or what I call “shards of the self,” to reclaim their power. I hold space for my clients to unravel and reconnect to their authenticity, strengthen their voice and remember that they are the author of their life.
