About Kelley Apple

Kelley has always believed in the healing power of movement.

While building a career in the IT and corporate world, she discovered the meditative rhythm of running. Yoga later became a transformative part of her journey, opening a deep spiritual practice that continues to inspire her today. Kelley is passionate about health, wellness, and guiding others through movement and energy work during times of personal growth and healing.

Grief yoga became especially meaningful in her own healing journey. Kelley understands how isolating grief can feel and believes that even the gentlest movement, combined with a sense of community, is essential for healing. Grief yoga offers a way to release emotional energy that can become held in the body, helping it to move, transform, and heal.

Kelley is a certified Reiki Master Teacher, Grief Educator, Yoga Instructor, and Hospice Volunteer. She is also on track to complete her four-year healing certification through the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.
