“To be fully alive, fully human,
and completely awake
is to be continually thrown
out of the nest.”
— Pema Chödrön
And then what?
Life can be painful-- sometimes because we choose to let something go,
and sometimes because life changes without our consent.
These times can feel so groundless.
You do not have to go through it alone.
Connection. Presence. Honesty. Compassion.
I would be honored to walk beside you as you move through this chapter of your life.
"We're all just walking each other home."

Kelly A. Beck
Certified Recovery and Life Coach
Coaching has allowed me to turn the hardest times in my life into meaningful work with others. I know how important it can be to receive support from someone who has lived through similar experiences. I think of my work as that of a life doula — there beside you, offering support, tools, and encouragement as you move through life’s transitions.
In my own life, I’ve faced profound loss, chosen sobriety, left a long-term marriage, survived stage-4 cancer, and rebuilt my life across an ocean. Each chapter required me to evolve — sometimes by choice, sometimes by circumstance. These transformations shape the way I now support others.
I am a Certified Recovery and Life Coach (CPRC). I was trained and recognized as a Signature Coach with She Recovers — a trauma-informed community supporting women in all forms of recovery. I also hosted the first in-person She Recovers sharing circles in the United States-- work that continues to inform my approach today.
​
My coaching is shaped by graduate-level training in Contemplative Psychology through Karuna Training North America, a three-year program rooted in mindfulness, compassion practices, and body-based awareness to support emotional clarity and resilience.
​
I am currently completing certification through the Focalizing Institute. Focalizing is a somatic healing modality that helps resolve emotional blocks, trauma patterns, and conditioned thinking by reconnecting people with their deeper bodily intelligence and inner wisdom.
​
Together, these trainings support the way I work: grounded, embodied, trauma-sensitive, and centered on helping women through sobriety, grief, caregiving, and major life transitions.
​
I work with women all over the world, offering support across time zones and life circumstances.
​
I currently live in Alkmaar, Netherlands with my husband, Han, and travel regularly to the United States to visit my four adult children. I love travel, nature, photography, and connecting with fellow “seekers” — those who are walking their own paths of healing, growth, and self-discovery.
"When you stare at a stained glass
window in the dark,
it can seem quite dull,
for it needs sunlight to reflect the
glory contained within it.
​
And in the same way,
when you are feeling dull,
it is not that you have lost your
magnificence,
but just that you are in need of being
flooded with light."

Client Reflections
Kelly is a remarkable coach, mentor and friend. She guides and leads with a generous open heart and a calm, caring presence. Committed to helping others embrace personal change and move towards expanding, meaningful growth, she inspires women to use self-compassion as a guiding principle.
She has helped me to discover an inner strength and resilience, that I never knew I had and as a result, a confidence to step up to new possibilities.
Kelly has been my biggest supporter, celebrating my tiny wins and milestone moments. She has been an inspiring role model, offering invaluable support through her wealth of knowledge and personal experience. She has a wonderful way of weaving wisdom with practical advice and imaginative tips.
I appreciate how much she leads by example and continues to share her life experience in an effort to support others.
If you’re considering working with Kelly, I highly recommend taking the opportunity if it is offered. It will be one of the best decisions you make for yourself and your life.
