Hi, I’m Kaela!

I am a 50-hour certified meditation instructor who has practiced meditation for over ten years. I hold a masters degree in social work and am professionally trained as a suicide prevention and sexual assault response counselor, utilizing therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma informed care. I have worked with clients individually, in groups, and led meditation workshops in the corporate space.

My teachings stem from the belief that meditation is intimacy with what you love about life. This means discovering who you are and meeting yourself all over again throughout your many chapters. This starts by re-discovering your core values, your dreams, and what might be holding you back from being where (and who) you want to be.

My first pet was a cat named Pluto. He was my meditation buddy. We had our own little routine solidified. I would start my mornings making matcha and setting up my meditation space in front of my apartment window, bringing a big cozy blanket to sit on, along with a candle, a journal, and other meaningful items. Pluto would know exactly what time it was when I carried my meditation blanket over to our spot. He was already running next to me, pawing at the blanket in the air as I set it down. Pluto always beat me to the blanket, and I would lose my seat most days. There, we would be for an hour, meditating, journaling, repeating this process each morning.

This is a space dedicated to him, the most perfect tabby cat I had ever known.
