Meet Kelly O'Connor
Guiding transitions with empathy & practical action.
I'm Kelly O'Connor, founder of Restoring Balance & Wellness. My goal is to help professionals rediscover inner strength and clarity when they feel uncertain or stuck. Through tailored life coach guidance, I support clients in building momentum toward the life and career changes they seek. Whether you need a confidence boost or a structured path, I'm here to offer steady, meaningful support.
As a holistic life coach based in Airdrie, I have worked with individuals across diverse fields who wanted to take control of change yet often felt overwhelmed by the complexity of their situations. My background includes a blend of practical business experience, advanced coaching certifications, and a genuine commitment to client well-being. I created Restoring Balance & Wellness to serve those navigating transitions in their work and personal lives, knowing how challenging it can feel to move forward alone.
My approach emphasizes strategic planning and measurable results, paired with a strong respect for client confidentiality. I believe lasting transformation happens when people feel heard and have practical tools to take action. Every session is tailored to your goals, blending listening with guidance you can implement immediately.
If you value results and need a safe space to explore new directions, I'm dedicated to partnering with you through each stage. Over the years, my practice has centered on supporting mid-career professionals, leaders, and those seeking greater balance. I continually refine my methods so you gain actionable insights rather than just theory. My satisfaction comes from seeing clients turn clarity into purposeful, confident action.
My Mission
My mission as a life coach is to provide the guidance & support individuals need to move forward with clarity & confidence, no matter the transition.
Coaching Rooted In Experience & Understanding
Life's challenges rarely fit into a simple formula, which is why my approach is built on both professional coaching experience and real-life understanding. With a background in health and wellness, along with years spent supporting individuals through change, I provide a compassionate space where you can feel heard, gain perspective, and develop practical steps toward your goals. My focus is not on quick fixes, but on helping you create meaningful progress that feels sustainable and true to who you are.
Not quick fixes — meaningful progress that feels sustainable and true to who you are.
Client stories
Life's challenges look different for everyone. Read how clients have found support, perspective, & meaningful growth through coaching.
I met Kelly in November of 2021, as a massage therapist and she helped me with my journey. It was after my car accident, followed by my split from my partner- which happened after my committed relationship of 12 years ended due to unfaithful actions.
Kelly saw my struggles and was always there for me- listening, giving gentle answers posing thought provoking questions or providing contextual examples from her own life. This helped me by encouraging me to stay positive and aligned with myself and trust myself more. I went to her two retreats, which I would highly recommend, as I connected and discovered more of myself and I enjoyed her energy and positivity.
I have started coaching with Kelly, and found it very helpful. She is a great listener, she has experienced much on her own accord which helped me. She poses good questions for me which help lead my life in the direction I desire. I realized, during our sessions together, where I am going, what are my strengths and how to align myself to the life I am choosing. I trust her as a coach, because she is supportive, strong and provides helpful wisdom allowing for thoughtful insights and clarity.
When we are journeying through life transitions, we have to make some changes and do the hard work. To seek a good coach, can shorten our journey to becoming our newer, best version of ourselves to emerge, as a result. This is generally done for example through active listening, advising, empowering, gaining clarity.
I would love, that all the people in the world find as great a coach, massage therapist, Reiki therapist or yoga teacher as Kelly has been for me. She cultivated a safe space for the work to be done in a very organic manner, for which I am grateful.
Kelly's natural wisdom and guidance was an incredible gift throughout my first coaching experience. Her calming and contagious energy helped me feel inspired to restore my own energy and allowed me to connect to my goals and align my habits.
I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to be supported by Kelly through my personal growth and trust that her empowerment can be attributed to my recent successes. Thank you for being truly radiant!
I had the distinct pleasure of being coached by Kelly O'Connor on multiple occasions during 2020. She is a powerful and intuitive coach who is a keen listener, compassionate soul, and wise woman.
In particular she helped me frame my sense of self in a more positive and empowering light. I don't know how I could have gotten through the year without her coaching.
I had the pleasure of being coached by Kelly and she felt like a breath of fresh air. Kelly has an amazing ability to very directly yet gently reveal to you your own inner strength and wisdom. I love how she is not afraid to get straight to business!
I love a coach who can cut right to the chase of an issue. I honestly was shocked at how accurately she could read my energy! I leave her sessions having more trust in my own inner guidance and clarity on my next steps towards my goals.
She possesses a down-to-earth and welcoming demeanor that always makes me feel at ease and like I'm in the company of an old friend. You will not regret having Kelly as your coach, she is truly someone who you can trust to help you reach your goals.
