Hi, I’m Kelly Janae (KJ).

I am a holistic health care practitioner who supports black sheep & misfits struggling with depression & anxiety to feel free to be yourself in this f*cked up world.

---

Are you the black sheep of your family or community?

Have you always felt different from people around you?

Do you struggle with chronic depression, anxiety or suicidal ideation?

Are you on a spiritual or healing journey to overcome chronic mental or emotional health struggles, and become a more authentic version of yourself?

Do you want a holistic, natural path to healing that empowers you, rather than pathologizes you?

Misfits like us can feel constantly misunderstood, unseen, or unwanted due to our innate differences. Other people may see a weirdo, an outcast, a loner; and we may feel that way at times. But in truth, we are highly sensitive beings who bring independence, intelligence, and vision to a world in desperate need of transformation.

Conventional mental health care often stops at a diagnosis and a prescription. It aims to fix something that is wrong. But there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re an individual with a unique purpose and path, navigating the loneliness and occasional despair of being a black sheep in a world that doesn’t see your value.

Depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation are natural responses to the isolation and hopelessness that can occur for misfits. To address the problem, we need a deeper change in human consciousness; that change starts with each of us, in our own bodies, minds and hearts.

My work sits at the intersection of somatic practice, developmental psychology, and energy work. In practice, that means:

🌿 Lived, not just studied. I’ve navigated significant mental health imbalances of my own for much of my life. Despite studying healing work for over a decade, this isn’t theoretical for me — I know what it feels like to be in it, and what it takes to come out the other side.

🌿 Somatic first. Your nervous system holds what your mind has (or hasn’t) moved past — grief, fear, shame, shock, rage. We work with the body directly, so you can actually feel your feelings, thereby releasing pent-up life force.

🌿 Spirituality-infused. Your mind, body, and spirit are One. Human beings are multi-dimensional. My work acknowledges these facts, empowering you to become ever more authentic as you strengthen your deeper connection to Self.

🌿 Developmentally informed. Based in developmental psychology, we identify the defensive or counter-productive energetic patterns that keep you stuck. Through self-understanding and subtle changes, these patterns stop running the show unconsciously.

🌿 Energy-informed. Some of what you’re carrying isn’t just yours — generational trauma, inherited beliefs, relationship cords that keep you tied to dynamics that no longer serve you. We work with these directly too.

🌿 Nature-inspired. Nature provides a blueprint for balance and connection. As we connect more deeply with our own bodies, we develop a deeper relationship to Who We Really Are, and our place in the Universe. This creates a felt sense of safety, allowing us to be more openly ourselves in the world.

My work draws on over 10 years of study across somatic practice, nervous system regulation, energy work, and nature-based healing — all grounded in a trauma-informed, developmentally-aware approach. I’ve also lived with mental health imbalances of my own for much of my life. This work is as personal to me as it is professional.

“I had been depressed for about 2 years prior to working with Kelly….I believe a big part of my emergence from depression into better balance were my sessions with Kelly. Now I am in a grand transition into the next chapter in my life. It’s not easy but it’s worth it. And I see that now.“

“Before working with Kelly Janae, I tried so many therapies and my mental health still struggled, but KJ’s style including energy work has been a game changer! Her way of getting my brain and body back in-line has helped me process so much trauma trapped in places talk therapy was never going to reach. She’s reassuring and professional, and most importantly she’s actually helped me make effective progress!!“
– Katrina K.

“Kelly Janae is a very talented person and healer.  During the past 6 months of working together one on one, I have experienced profound personal growth. Each session we covered what I was going through or issues I wanted to tackle.  Kelly helped me get to the core issue and see these parts of myself in a new light. Kelly helped me to examine the parts of myself I didn’t want to look at in a safe and judgement-free space.  I highly recommend working with Kelly Janae.”
