About Kelly
Kelly Berkley discovered the transformative power of breath through her own personal healing journey. After struggling with asthma and chronic restriction in her breathing, she began exploring breath-based practices in search of relief. Her path led her into the study of pranayama, Buteyko breathing, coordinated breathing techniques, and eventually conscious connected Breathwork, where she recognized that much of her physical restriction was connected to long-held emotional tension stored within the body.
Through years of dedicated practice and study, Kelly experienced the profound capacity of Breathwork to support healing on physiological, emotional, and spiritual levels. Since 2016, she has continued her studies throughout Bali, Costa Rica, and the United States, deepening her understanding of Breathwork, embodiment, nervous system regulation, yoga, Thai bodywork, and energy healing practices.
Kelly completed her Breathwork Facilitator Training through The Body of Breath with Ashley Ludman in 2022 and continues to participate in ongoing mentorship and advanced training programs. She is a 400-hour certified Breathwork Facilitator through the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and also holds certifications in yoga, pranayama, Reiki, and Thai Bodywork. Through private sessions, group experiences, retreats, and workshops, Kelly creates grounded and compassionate spaces that support emotional release, reconnection, and embodied transformation.

"My breathwork mentor has been the kind of mentor and teacher I’ve always wanted but didn’t think existed. The kind I always imagined a real mentor was: someone that you really work alongside like an apprenticeship. Someone that knows you well and where your challenge areas are from the close contact and oversight that they have of you. Someone that cares about you and your growth. Someone that supports you when you need to be nudged or met where you’re at. Someone that really shows you the ropes in a way that you can’t get from a text book or lecture. You know, how mentorship’s and apprenticeships must have looked like in the old days and in tribes 🙂."

"In my search for eternal truth, she was the first to hold me with quiet power. In every session, her hands feel woven from threads of another dimension — light like breath, steady like earth. There is no fear in journeying through the breath with Ashley, because her presence invokes a deep-rooted safety, the kind that cannot be taught — only embodied."

"My relationship to myself has shifted through my work with Ashley and that in turn has shifted other relationships in my life. I see things through a different lens. I'm able to not be so reactionary and if I am, I can sit and observe myself later. I've been able to access more forgiveness for myself and for others in that process. It's helped me move stagnant and unserving energy in my body that I might not have found the tools to deal with otherwise. The work gave me the tools to access these points, realizations, emotions, physical forms that I have built up externally and emotional walls that I have built internally that were keeping me from my highest potential. She taught me to teach myself through movement, breath, silence, reflection, slowing down......It's been life changing."
