Client Praise

My business is in a MUCH better place than it was before working with Kellie. I have clarity about my objectives for my business and a simple strategy for achieving my goals. Kellie’s trainings have completely de-mystified the world of business for me. Kellie offered incredibly simple, but effective techniques for cleaning up my relationship with my business and turning it into a source of happiness for me. Kellie taught me that when I tend to and care for my business appropriately, my business cares for me.
— Amanda Tripp, ERYT, Wellness Educator and Teacher Trainer
The biggest takeaway from working with Kellie was how wonderful it was knowing that she believed in my ideas, supported my creativity and met me where I was - always. Even when I wasn’t quite ready to take the next action step, Kellie helped me to see that there were still some small steps I could take toward my long-term goals while being in “contemplation”. Kellie provided me with tools and tips to use in changing my direction toward a concrete goal (i.e., workshop to precede a retreat, or series of workshops). While Kellie challenged my business growth in the direction of providing trainings for yoga and therapy professionals, other areas of my career also grew, offering me even more opportunities.
— Sandee Nebel, MS, LMHC, CEDS, RYT, White Picket Fence Counseling
Part of the beauty of coaching with Kellie is that it allowed me to hone in on what my talents and dreams are, so that I may share those gifts with others in a purposeful way. While working through the Inner and Outer work of Kellie’s approach, I not only integrated new ways to structure my offerings, I have also found that in everyday life I am more focused, decisive, and unfrozen! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have the tools necessary to do what I love with a razor sharp vision! Many “thank you’s” to Kellie Adkins for helping my vision come to a reality.
— Coleen Clement, LMT, RYT, Elevated Roots Wellness
After working with Kellie, I have tons more clarity about where I’m going with my work, how to strategically build my business and the confidence to do it! I loved how we worked through business as service. This was an important shift for me. Since my session with Kellie, I signed up 4 coaching clients and am now almost full. I cannot recommend working with Kellie enough! Thank you Kellie! You are very gifted in what you do.
— Jardana Peacock, Radical Wellness Coach and Artist
Talking with a colleague who shares first hand knowledge and that can share with me from her experience was the most potent part of the coaching experience. Paired with Kellie’s supportive, realistic and super practical approach, that fresh perspective was invaluable. With Kellie’s support, I was able to improve my visibility, expand my offerings, reframe my business model and get clearer about my mission. Personally it’s always helpful to be held accountable which got me executing a few marketing strategies quickly. Also, Kellie’s coaching notes are succinct, timely and offer loads of help with the accountability piece!

I have seen a financial, personal, and professional return on the investment of working with Kellie and would highly recommend working with her if you want to grow your business.
— Laurel Hodory, M.S., ERYT
Kellie was exactly the right person I needed to coach me on how to express my true self in the promotion of my business. Because of her knowledge, experience, and resources, along with a very real care and concern for what I wanted to accomplish, I now have a clearer vision of the road ahead and a plan in place that will take my business to the next level. I think of Kellie as a mentor and give her my highest praise and recommendation.
— Rex Flohr, Fitness Design Coach + Yoga Teacher
After working with Kellie, I feel less frozen and more able to act on things that I know I need to do for my business. I feel a lot more focused and capable of action than I did before.

I also really appreciate the pragmatic, technical side, too. The screen shares and how- to guides were immensely helpful as I’m a visual learner. and “do to learn” type of person. Although I probably could have figured some of it out on my own, I never would have gotten as far if I hadn’t worked with Kellie. In fact, I might have given up on the whole proposition and been content to maintain my status quo, completely unaware of my own personal worth and what I could accomplish if I stepped outside of my comfort zone and took a chance on myself.
— Tori Lundock, M.S., ERYT Ayurvedic Lifestyle Consultant and Yoga Teacher
After working 1x1 with Kellie in a VIP Day, I was able to more clearly see the “how” of where to go with my business. I was pretty clear on the who, what, and where, but was struggling with the how. Kellie clearly laid it all out in the form of focused action steps, custom made just for me!

Insight gained: Even though I had been told before that it is not my job to convert the skeptics/soften the resistors, Kellie helped me to shift my focus and to view my business, and all I have to offer, through the eyes of my Dream Client. She pointed out that it is not about “me”, but, instead all about Ms. Dream Client. I found that incredibly liberating!
— Denise Sherman, RYT, LPN, Second Wind Wellness
Kellie has been a huge help for my business. So much of what I have accomplished is thanks to her. I now find my life is as I had dreamed it could be. My classes are practically full, I am fully booked with private sessions every week. I now wake up with enthusiasm for my day, love the people I work with and feel joyous spending time with them and celebrating their successes. The more I teach my group classes, the better of a teacher I become. Everything I do is a win-win for me and my students/clients. Being a ‘business woman’ is neither tedious nor overwhelming anymore- it is a gift that I give myself everyday. Thank you, Kellie, for your part in making my business reality so fabulous.
— Emily Pearl Alfano, RYT, Red Barn Wellness
Kellie is a gem - her wisdom, skill, & compassion as a yoga therapist & coach are unprecedented. Her programs are beyond comprehensive, & her ability to educate others & deliver complex information is always clear & filled with insight.
— Katherine Borse, L.Ac. MSOM, E-RYT, Palm Beach Healing Arts
Kellie’s support was instrumental in identifying who our target customer is and how to reach them with effective marketing. Our entire approach to marketing changed for the better after working with Kellie. It was so nice to have support from a person who truly understands the himalayan struggles of an entrepreneur. No school or book taught me​ the wisdom a start up is currently teaching me, and taking Kellie’s VIP Day session was a real paradigm shift​, teaching me the​ importance of strategy and ​planning with clarity.
— Dr. Vignesh Devaraj | Ayurvedic physician and Founder, Sitaram Ayurveda and Beach Resort

A note from Kellie

I’m the Founder / CEO of the Wisdom Method Institute and a sought-after business expert who doesn’t fit the usual mold. I’m also obsessed with supporting your sustainable success.

Still have questions? Let’s chat.

THE DIFFERENCE

Three pillars.

Evidence and intuition.

Decisions are made against what's true for your business — not the loudest playbook in the room.

A partner, not a guru.

I work as a co-CEO: in the strategy with you, accountable to the outcome, never performing certainty I don't have.

Paced, not frantic.

Sustainable performance is built deliberately. Speed on the decision; patience on the build.

WELLNESS CENTERED, QUIETLY.


Performance is a whole-

person question.


The way you work has to fit the life you're optimizing for — that's the wellness-centered part, and it's structural, not decorative. The research behind it lives at the Institute; here, it shows up as work that doesn't cost you yourself.
