LEELA KELLEY
she/they
As a long time embodiment practitioner, I am a big advocate for embodied healing, and love to offer skills and tools that help to deepen and enhance peoples relationships to themselves, others, and the world around them.
At the root of my work is the belief that deep attunement to our bodies, our stories, and our magic is a liberation practice, a pleasure practice, a practice in re-claiming sovereignty and re-Membering belonging. I am rooted in a compassionate, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed practice that is gender affirming, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist. My sessions, classes, and events are friendly towards queer and trans folks, witches, people practicing ENM & polyamory, sex workers, and neurodivergence. |
