My Journey

Hello there! I'm Dr. Kaylie Tejeda (DNAP, APRN, CRNA, CIC) and I'd love to share a bit about my journey with you. A few years back, at what seemed like the peak of my career, I personally hit the lowest point in my life. Every cell in my body was screaming for me to pause and I marched on with my superhero cape on fire, a brain full of responsibilities, and a list of all the things I needed to do for other people both personally and professionally. I continued the over-giving, over-doing, and over-thinking, on replay. I muzzled that wise inner voice until I completely lost myself in the rubble. Sound familiar? That turbulent season forced me to think deeply about what it means to truly take care of yourself (beyond sporadic self-care), especially for those of us who feel deeply and give A LOT.

My own experience of burning in(side), to burning out, burning up, and burning down, and my soon after recovery, inspired me on a path to supporting other highly-driven empathic professionals avoid hitting rock bottom. And, helping those who find themselves rebuilding after the dust of the burning down had settled. I wanted to create a space where purpose driven empathic leaders, like you, could rest, resource, realign, and recreate from the inside-out and finally, be the main course in your life, not a side dish! An EnRICHed life becomes a reality by moving beyond the point of constant energetic overdrafts and inner bankruptcy, to experiencing wealth in every area of your life. And no one can do it for you - it starts with prioritizing YOU!

My Experience

I've spent over a decade in healthcare as a critical nurse at the bedside and a nurse anesthesiologist in the operating room. I've had the privilege of caring for tens of thousands of humans, from birth to death and everything in between. My journey has also included education and non-profit work at the intersections of health, peer support, harm reduction, and advocacy for historically marginalized groups. This diverse experience has given me a rich and holistic understanding of health and wellness, which I now bring into my coaching practice.

My studies are lifelong. I continually attend webinars, seminars, courses, and workshops to make sure I'm living and working with the most up-to-date, evidence-based research. Constantly expanding my knowledge and applying what I learn gives me a "big picture" view of personal growth and health, and helps me provide folks with the most valuable insights available. I'm committed to evolving alongside those I support, and as a perfectly imperfect human, doing my best to be a living embodiment of what I share.

I value diversity and draw inspiration from a wide variety of wisdom teachers, including but not limited to, traditional medicine healers, abuelas, tias, holistic 19th century practitioners, spiritual directors, contemplatives, artists, harm reductionists and relational practitioners. I weave this wisdom with the best of functional, integrative and conventional medicine to provide an expansive and enriching approach to growth, healing, and health. This unique blend allows me to offer a deeply integrated and flavorful (con sázon) holistic path to Whole Person Growth, personalized to each individual's challenges, needs and goals.

I help empower empathic leaders recommit to their well-being, set clear boundaries, and amplify their impact.

Empowering Your Journey

I offer an Inside-Out Immersive approach to Whole Person Growth because I have personally and professionally seen how effective it is in achieving profound and lasting change. The immersive and integrative approach you'll experience is a potent recipe for reconnecting with yourself and your truth, shifting your negative self-talk (inner-bully), and gaining the clarity you need to confidently make tough decisions and navigate difficult situations. You'll build the confidence and courage to discover and focus on what truly matters to you, and take action that aligns with the person you'd love to show up as and a life you're excited to live. I'll empower you to find your own definition of growth, health and healing and determine what you're most in need of in this season to optimize your well-being.

I deeply believe in your potential and value and each session begins with unwavering acceptance and genuine curiosity about your unique situation. I'll be your catalyst for change, accountability partner, sounding board, and trusted guide, providing the supportive structure you need to start down a new path. The best way to get started, is to get started. If you need things to be different, book a free Insight Session to find out if we're a good fit, no strings attached!
