My name is Kelley Downie, I think deeply about things important to me and kindness is something deeply important to me.  I’ve been married for 23 years.  My husband and I enjoy a busy home with 4 kids and 2 dogs.  I have dyslexia and I graduated from the University of Maine in Farmington with a degree in Rehabilitation Health Services.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend 21 years exclusively raising my kids, homeschooling them, and giving them every opportunity to enjoy the weather.  Being a stay at home parent was and is a hugely satisfying experience for me; it taught me the value of living into the life that we want and the gift of having an attuned presence to walk alongside us.  I am most proud of how I have helped my kids know themselves and pursue the life they want.  I think seeing a person clearly is a very important part of supporting them—meaning honoring a person’s personality plays an important role in how you come alongside someone in an attuned way.  I desire for young people to have the gift of knowing their authentic self early in life.  I want adults to know it’s never too late to pursue the life they want, it’s always a good time to come home to yourself.  I, too, am learning to come home to myself more and more everyday, and healing the parts of me that haven’t received from life what they needed.

 

I am consistent and dependable.  I inspire and uplift others by speaking truth that honors people individually.  I see the strength in a person's heart, character, and personality and speak affirming truth.  I think words can be healing when they are true, spoken genuinely, and feel meaningful.  I often have an ability to see a bigger picture and offer options for creative problem solving.  I am patient, thoughtful, understanding, and kind.

 

I am interested in living in ways that support my own health and wholeness.  I believe in personalized nutrition and exercise.  I use therapeutic art and journaling to explore and understand my own feelings, as well as to express and release hard emotions.  I have learned somatic regulating resources such as controlled breathing, tapping, and the voo sound to help me feel comfortable and present in my body.  I like yoga and being in nature to feel more grounded in myself.

 

I enjoy the quiet early morning.  In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, biking, paddling, cross country skiing, hammocking, and playing games with my family.  I love birding, watching the seasons change, listening to running water and rain, as well as feeling the sun on my face.
