1. What is Kindred Way Wellness?

Kindred Way Wellness is a trauma-informed, community-rooted wellness and coaching initiative that supports individuals seeking guidance in self-study, emotional healing, personal development, or professional growth. While originally born to serve helpers in vulnerable roles, Kindred Way now offers accessible services for anyone looking for clarity, empowerment, and meaningful change.

2. Who can receive services?

Everyone is welcome.
Kindred Way offers coaching and wellness support for:

• Individuals pursuing personal growth or emotional stability

• People experiencing stress, self-doubt, or transition

• Helpers and healers in high-stakes professional roles

• Anyone wanting a safe, compassionate space to explore their inner world

You do not have to be a professional helper to benefit.

3. Do I need to be struggling or in crisis to reach out?

Not at all. Many people come to Kindred Way when they feel ready to explore their identity, strengthen resilience, reconnect with purpose, or simply receive grounded, nonjudgmental support.

4. What services does Kindred Way offer?

Services include:

• One-on-one coaching (personal, relational, professional)

• Wellness planning and guidance

• Trauma-informed education

• Reflective and experiential workshops

• Concierge-style support for individuals in high-responsibility roles

Kindred Way continues to expand offerings based on community needs.

5. Is Kindred Way a replacement for therapy?

. Kindred Way provides coaching, guidance, and wellness education, informed by psychotherapy or clinical modalities and conducted by a trained clinician with 20 years direct care and counseling experience. We do engage in confidential, clinical reviews weekly and provide referrals to providers who can assist with more advanced evaluations and medication education as well as prescribing.

6. Is my information confidential?

Yes. All sessions honor strict confidentiality and emotional safety. Mandated reporter responsibilities are always discussed clearly so clients understand boundaries and ethical responsibilities.

7. How much do services cost?

Kindred Way does not accept or work with insurance. Our service fees reflect the cost of overhead—such as website hosting, scheduling systems, and administrative needs—and the professional experience of the attending coach/clinician, which includes over 20 years of coaching and counseling expertise.

We also offer concierge-style options for individuals seeking highly personalized, flexible, and high-access support.

8. Do I need to register for services?

Yes. Coaching and workshops require registration so sessions and materials can be tailored to your needs. You can request support or book sessions directly through the website’s booking options.

9. What makes Kindred Way different?

Kindred Way is built on a blend of professional clinical experience, lived experience, and community-centered values. Founded by someone who has been both a provider and a patient, Kindred Way creates a stigma-free space where humanity is honored, vulnerability is welcomed, and growth is supported with compassion and skill.

10. Why is there a pigeon in the logo?

The pigeon symbolizes resilience, intelligence, and the often-invisible labor of helpers and everyday people. Historically celebrated but later overlooked, pigeons represent the individuals who carry heavy loads quietly and deserve to be seen, supported, and cared for. They are the heart of the Kindred Way story.

11. Does Kindred Way collaborate with organizations or agencies?

Yes. Kindred Way offers wellness education, trainings, speaker engagements, and professional development for agencies, teams, and community programs.

12. How can I support or get involved?

You can participate in services, donate, collaborate, share skills, or join community-led initiatives. Kindred Way grows through shared purpose and collective care.
