Meet Mindi Kessler
I’m Mindi—coach, author, speaker, and psychotherapist who helps people break trauma cycles and come home to themselves.
For years, I lived with chronic health issues, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. Traditional therapy did not help me. So I figured out what I needed instead. That’s when I realized true transformation requires a full-spectrum approach.
Today, I guide others through that same healing: blending psychology, somatic work, energy healing, and inner-child integration to create lasting, embodied transformation.
My approach is grounded, spiritual, and soul-led. Because that’s what it takes to get free.
This is my story
I’ve been where you are—exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying the weight of unresolved trauma.
For the first part of my adult life, I had no idea how traumatized I was. I went to graduate school, got married, received a PhD, had two children, and started a private practice. I was respected in my community as someone who was innovative when it came to trauma recovery for children.
All the while no one would have guessed the depth of pain I felt inside. I was depressed, stressed all the time, and profoundly hard on myself. I had lived with chronic pain in my body since I was 18 and my health only got worse as time passed. I developed chronic fatigue, had burning in my hands and mouth, neuropathy in my feet, migraines, multiple sleep disorders, a fragile digestive system, and many other difficult and painful syndromes that made me question why I was even here.

The turning point
In March of 2014, after decades of limping along, no medical solutions in sight, and feeling like I had given life and health recovery my all, I collapsed. My body said no more, and I was forced to abruptly stop working and put everything else in my life on hold. It was a scary time.
This rock bottom was the catalyst that helped me to discover that underneath my vast physical and emotional suffering was the fact that a childhood full of feeling despised by my family, feeling unsafe every day, and being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused was the source of my downfall.
Why we are here
Since then, I have been on a reclamation journey, a heroic endeavor to free myself from the confines of childhood trauma and the toll this took on every aspect of my life. I’ve worked with a wide range of healers, and piece by piece picked myself up, recovered my inner child, and fell in love with myself and with life.
I know what it’s like to experience great depths of despair and what it takes to return from the brink. My personal experience of trauma and recovery has blessed me with the capacity to hold space for people in a great deal of pain and show them how to get to the other side.
If you’ve come here, you found me for a reason. Maybe like me, you are sizing up your allies because you know there has to be more to life than what you are experiencing right now.
There is.
