Kelly Ayana Nembhard is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and energy healer. Her book Abundantly You: A Toolkit for Authentic Self-Care is “a grounded guide to self-care, healing, and living in alignment with your whole self”. Kelly will be sharing excerpts from her book and the inspiration behind her writing.

At a time when self care has become a commodity, “Abundantly You is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and cultivate self-care that honors your body, spirit, and lived experience.”
