Kelsey Bornyk, Beautifully Broken Transformations
Introduce yourself! Please tell us about you and your life, so we can get to know you better.
Hey there! It's great to have this chance to chat with you. I'm Kelsey Bornyk, nestled in the beautiful Airdrie, Alberta, Canada but with my roots deeply planted in the scenic landscapes of Victoria, B.C., where my immediate family still resides. A couple of years ago my health took a turn, which ultimately ended with me leaving my corporate job of 14 years. This was such a pivotal moment in my life, I was faced with a lot of challenges, grief, overwhelm and confusion. But it also led me on a journey to discover my purpose of assisting others who were Beautifully Broken, just like me! Now my life still has its challenges, but I lead it with a positive mixture of creativity, healing, and exploration. As an, artist, creator, and therapeutic art and mindfulness coach, my days are filled with self-care, vibrant colors, transformative conversations, and moments of profound connection. When I'm not guiding others through their personal journeys of self-discovery and empowerment, you'll find me getting crafty, diving into my latest art project, or embracing the great outdoors—paddleboarding, camping, and hiking are my go-to's for recharging my soul. My family (my partner, 3 kids and a hamster! Lol), friends, and the community I've built around Beautifully Broken Transformations are the heartbeat of my existence, enriching my life with their love, laughter, and shared moments of growth.
What inspired you to start Beautifully Broken Transformations, and what is the core mission behind your business?

Through therapeutic art and mindfulness, I aim to guide these incredible women toward self-discovery, wellness, and creativity, crafting a business and personal life full of harmony and empowerment.

If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?
If there's one thing I could change about our industry, it would be the widespread misconception that seeking help or prioritizing self-care is a sign of weakness. I dream of a world where self-love, physical health, and mental wellness are celebrated and embraced as the foundations of a strong vibrant life.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
The pivotal moment that led me here was a deeply personal journey through my own shadows and light. It was in facing my vulnerabilities and embracing my imperfections that I found my true calling.

So, that's a little window into my world. I'm here to support, inspire, and walk alongside you on your journey to becoming beautifully broken and wonderfully whole. Let's embark on this transformative adventure together.
