Kelly Gates is a Women’s Leadership and Identity Coach specializing in identity transitions, resilience, and meaningful reinvention during pivotal stages of career and life. She works with high-achieving professionals, particularly women, who appear successful outwardly yet sense a growing disconnect between who they truly are and the roles they lead. Kelly trained as a Personal Performance Coach and is also an International Coaching Federation Associate Certified Coach (ACC), a globally recognized credential in professional coaching. Her work centers on a principle often overlooked in modern professional culture: leadership, in both life and work, becomes far more effective when grounded in authenticity. Kelly helps clients reconnect with their internal authority, so decisions, ambition, and direction are shaped by clarity and self-trust rather than external expectations or pressures. Her perspective is informed by her own experience of profound personal and professional disruption. Several years ago, she faced the end of a significant relationship, job loss, financial instability, and the grief of closing a fertility journey. This experience required her to reimagine a future she had long assumed and reconsider what a meaningful life could look like when long-held plans no longer applied. Before this period, Kelly built a successful career in broadcasting, working in fast-paced, high-responsibility environments. While professionally established, she recognized a growing misalignment between the path she had followed and the life she truly wanted to lead. This period of reflection shaped the foundation of her coaching philosophy and the development of her program, The Inner Sovereign™: transformation is not about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with what is authentic and leading life from a place of self-trust. Today, she works with women navigating leadership responsibilities, burnout, and major life transitions, helping them move forward with greater clarity, courage, and integrity while contributing to a wider conversation about identity, leadership, and reinvention.

WholeNest wasn’t created as a business idea. It grew organically from Lital Bernstein’s life-years of studying and working in wellness, becoming a mother, supporting other women, and seeing the impact that simple, natural care could have. Lital began her journey studying Shiatsu, eventually becoming a Shiatsu Master and teaching and working with diverse populations. Her curiosity about the connection between the physical and emotional body led her to study body-mind balancing, Chinese medicine, essential oils, Pilates, Theta Healing, spirituality, and conscious living. Through these disciplines, one belief became central to her work: the body holds tremendous wisdom, and learning to listen to it can be an important part of healing and transformation. The beginnings of WholeNest came after the birth of Lital’s first child, when her doula introduced her to natural preparations for postpartum healing and recovery. She experienced their benefits firsthand and used them again after her second child was born. Over time, Lital began refining the formulas through trial and error, drawing on her knowledge of natural wellness and essential oils. She made the products in her own home and shared them with friends after they gave birth. As more women experienced their benefits, Lital realized that what began as something personal could become something much bigger. She developed two additional products, creating the four-product WholeNest collection. Today, WholeNest is manufactured in California in small batches, preserving the values with which it began: clean, safe, pure, effective ingredients, made with care and intention. Research and customer experience have since revealed uses extending beyond postpartum recovery into motherhood, child care, family wellness, and everyday life. But WholeNest is more than a line of products. It is an extension of Lital’s deeper calling to support people,especially women,in healing,spitiyuality, growth, and transformation. Her own life and health challenges have deepened her compassion and reinforced her belief that wellness is personal. For Lital, it is about listening to the body, our emotions, and ourselves, and reconnecting with our own inner wisdom and purpose.

Alyssa Martyn is a Coach, Educator, and Speaker. Her expertise lies in helping women own the power of their voice and drive their careers & lives forward. As a globally recognized thought leader with over two decades of experience in women's voice empowerment, six years in heart-led business, and transformational healing, Alyssa assists her clients in improving communication fitness, monetizing their passions, and overcoming the blocks that often hinder confidence, authenticity, relationships, business, career, and the freedom women crave.   Alyssa’s work (and the voice ownership movement she leads) is deeply connected and inspired by her own journey of being a professional actor in London's West End and internationally, overcoming trauma, and radically reinventing the trajectory of her life. After 20 years of battling chronic stress, anxiety, and depression, and carrying trauma from being bullied at school, Alyssa knows what it takes to rewrite the story, and become a healthy, happy, and empowered woman.   Her methodologies, free content, and courses often shed light on taboo areas of women's empowerment in uncensored and unapologetic ways.
