I was going through one of the toughest times of my life and my relationship and my relationship to myself. I felt like it was breaking down and I didn't know where to turn to except for this beautiful soul named Kelly Gardner, who I knew would have the perfect amount of wisdom and heart and would ask me the right questions. And boy, oh boy, did he do that. He held me in love. He held me in power. He gave me direction by asking me the right questions and just holding the space. And I want to tell you, if you're going through something and you need somebody. Kelly, is that person, choose him.

I feel truly blessed to share the gift and tenderness of raising a child with Kelly. While our version of family has transformed over the years to include different homes and relationships, his devotion, respect, grace, and integrity with me and our son have been unwavering. Kelly is a man of his word whose north star is being of service. He will hold you in unconditional compassion and radical accountability, celebrate you in your truth, and walk you through your darkest depths to watch you rise into your best self and life.

In many ways Kelly fills that father shaped hole in my heart, just energetically. Not that he is parenting me or my authority, but just that he's a calm presence, loving, and knowing. The way he listens, allows himself to truly see and absorb me.  I feel that he truly has a belief in me and that you really root for me. I imagine that his kids get that same kind of love.

I came to Kelly for support when I was experiencing a very rough and emotional time and in transition from a relationship. I came to Kelly because of the way that he holds himself, for the love and the wisdom that he has and for the safety that he creates in allowing vulnerability and openness and being someone that I truly trust in how he sees the world.

He is a magician when it comes to communication, when it comes to connecting with the heart and soul, not only of the matter, but of the person. To me, that is one of the most invaluable skills a human being can have. I've had the pleasure of working side by side and directly with Kelly, and he brings magic, presence, and wisdom. Everything he does is with such a promise and a care with not only himself and the project but the people involved as well.

 Working with Kelly is like working with an elder statesman, someone who has been battle tested by life for decades in all kinds of scenarios, with all kinds of people, through all kinds of circumstances. Getting to work with him, he brings that elder statesman who's seen it all. And can therefore be with it all.  I can always trust that Kelly is going to do whatever he needs to do to see me, to connect with me, before trying to take our conversation anywhere else or to to impose an agenda or a story on me.
