You Are Not Alone

”"Nurturing ourselves creates ripples of hope in the world cultivating compassionate change in our lives and communities."
Kelley GrimesFounder | Counselor | Author | Speaker
Meet Kelley Grimes, MSW
Hi! I’m an empowering counselor, workshop facilitator and speaker, bestselling author, and self-nurturing expert with over three decades of experience helping people heal, grow, and transform their lives.
I work with individuals and couples seeking healing and growth, and organizations ready to build cultures of compassion, empathy, and sustainable change.
Whether I’m leading an organizational training on avoiding burnout and compassion fatigue or holding loving space in a self-nurturing workshop or individual session, my approach is always grounded in deep listening, empathy, gratitude, nurturing, hope, and empowering tools and practices.
I believe deeply in the ripple effects our own healing has in the world and understand that the journey of growth is about progress not perfection.
It would be an honor to work with you or your organization to create the compassionate change you envision so you can live with more peace, joy and meaning!
What It's Like to Work with Me
I believe positive change is always possible—for individuals and for organizations. I guide people through a proven, empowering process to reconnect them to their strengths, wisdom and empowered choices.
Here’s how we do that with the 3 C’s:
Curiosity
Whether you’re an individual seeking healing or an organization seeking culture change, we start by identifying what really matters to you.
Compassion
Through self-nurturing practices, engaging workshops, and trauma-informed frameworks, we will uncover the path to your compassionate change.
Connection
With a blend of evidence-based tools and heart-centered facilitation, we will explore new ways of being deeply connected so you can embrace them in your life or on your team.

A Field Guide To Living With More Peace, Joy & Meaning
The Art of Self-Nurturing was written to empower you to become the artist of your own life and understand self-nurturing as an art form. Rather than living from obligation and overwhelm, you will learn to cultivate a life filled with self-compassion and self-love.
The practice of self-nurturing is not about being perfect or completing another thing on your “to-do” list, but rather nurturing a relationship with yourself. It is about recognizing what is nurturing in any given moment and allowing your practice to evolve accordingly. The more we nurture ourselves, the more we know ourselves allowing us to reveal more of who we are in the world.
This field guide is designed to make your journey easier and to support you by breaking down the process into 3 parts: The Foundation of Self-Nurturing, Cultivating a Self-Nurturing Practice, and Integrating Self-Nurturing Practices into Your Life. Each section is broken into chapters and will provide inspiration, best practices, examples, reflective questions, and self-nurturing practices. The field guide offers you hundreds of self-nurturing practices that you can try and return to as you build your practice.
Begin the adventure of a lifetime by nurturing the most important relationship you will ever have—the relationship with yourself!
