We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kassidy Marley a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Kassidy, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
The idea for my business as a Spiritual Life Coach was born from my own profound journey of transformation. Having experienced the extremes of life, starting as a successful international model and then walking a path of deep healing, I uncovered my true calling through years of self-discovery. Living in nature, studying with shamans, and immersing myself in spiritual practices, I began to see how my personal challenges were guiding me toward a greater purpose: to help others heal, grow, and connect with their inner truth. My story became the foundation for a business designed to empower others to embrace their unique journeys.
I knew this was a worthwhile endeavor when I noticed how my own healing journey inspired others. Friends, family, and even strangers were drawn to the light I had cultivated within myself, seeking guidance to overcome their own struggles. With the growing wellness approach to life following the dramatic events of the pandemic, many people have moved away from regular talk therapies and are seeking out-of-the-box solutions. The rise of plant medicine healing and other alternative modalities has created an openness to new ways of connecting and growing. I realized it was my time to give back to others and share the tools and practices that had healed me on a profound level.
What excites me most is witnessing the ripple effect of transformation. Every person I work with has the power to create positive change, not just within themselves but in their communities and beyond. This isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about guiding others to fully embrace their potential and shine their light in the world. Building a community of awakened souls who uplift and inspire one another is what makes this work so fulfilling and meaningful to me.
Kassidy, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
My name is Kassidy Marley, and my journey into the spiritual and healing arts began with my own path of transformation. I started my professional life as an international model, achieving success in Los Angeles and around the world, but deep down, I felt disconnected from my true self. After a decade of living in the fast-paced world of glamour, I realized my soul was calling me to something deeper. I left behind that life to embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery. This led me to study with shamans and spiritual teachers across the globe, explore the profound power of plant medicine, and embrace ancient wisdom. Today, I am a Spiritual Life Coach, Intuitive Healer, and Medicine Woman dedicated to helping others find healing, empowerment, and alignment with their highest selves.
In my work, I offer one-on-one coaching, shamanic energy healing, and feminine embodiment practices, as well as sacred group offerings like healing circles and retreats. My approach is rooted in blending ancient practices with modern needs, providing my clients with safe and transformative spaces to overcome emotional blockages, cultivate self-love, and rediscover their inner light. Whether it’s guiding women through helping clients reconnect with their authentic selves, or holding space for spiritual breakthroughs, my work is all about empowering others to live in alignment with their truth. I also create nurturing self-care products, such as my “Body Rituals” line, infused with real plants and intention, offering tangible tools for self-love and spiritual connection.
Now that I am pregnant with my first baby in January, I am excited to expand my work by offering a Sacred Pregnancy Circle. My vision is to bring spirituality to many mamas, creating a safe and supportive space for women to connect deeply with their babies and explore the sacredness of pregnancy. This addition to my offerings is rooted in my belief that motherhood is a profound spiritual journey, and I feel called to share my experiences and tools with other mothers. What sets my work apart is the deep authenticity and heart I bring to every interaction. I’m most proud of the community I’ve built, filled with individuals who inspire me every day with their courage and transformation. The main thing I want people to know is that my work is rooted in love, intention, and the belief that healing is possible for everyone. Whether you’re seeking spiritual guidance, emotional support, or simply a reminder of your own magic, my mission is to walk alongside you as you rediscover your power and purpose.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
A lesson I had to unlearn was that my worth is tied to external validation and achievement. Growing up in the modeling industry, I was conditioned to equate my value with how I looked, how many jobs I booked, and the approval of others. This belief drove me to work tirelessly as a model, becoming a primary breadwinner for my family from a young age. While it brought me success and financial stability, it also left me feeling disconnected from my true self and deeply unfulfilled.
The turning point came in my early twenties when I realized I was living a life built on others’ expectations, not my own desires. I walked away from modeling, shaved my head, sold my possessions, and bought a one-way ticket to Hawaii. Living in a treehouse, surrounded by nature, and working the land, I began to reconnect with my inner self. I learned that my worth isn’t something I need to prove to the world—it’s intrinsic, rooted in who I am, not what I achieve or how others perceive me.
This unlearning wasn’t easy; it took years of self-reflection, spiritual practices, and letting go of old patterns. But it transformed my life and allowed me to step into my role as a healer and guide for others. Now, I help my clients unlearn similar limiting beliefs, showing them how to reconnect with their own inner truth and embrace their worth from within. It’s a lesson I’m grateful to have learned because it’s one I can now pass on to others.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
The best source of new clients for me has been a combination of word-of-mouth referrals, authentic connections through social media, and my presence in the conscious community here in Los Angeles. I’ve had the opportunity to network at countless events and deeply engage with the conscious community. Sitting in many ceremonial works and sacred gatherings, I’ve built relationships with like-minded individuals, sharing my journey and the ways I can help others heal and transform their lives. These organic connections have been invaluable in spreading the word about my offerings.
Word-of-mouth referrals have been especially powerful, as they come from clients who’ve experienced profound transformation and healing through our work together. Their genuine recommendations to friends, family, and their own communities create a ripple effect, bringing in new clients who feel aligned with my approach. Social media has also played a vital role, allowing me to authentically share my story and connect with people on a soul level—whether through insights, live events, or simply offering moments of inspiration.
Ultimately, the combination of being immersed in the conscious community, authentically engaging with others, and consistently sharing my passion for this work has allowed me to attract clients who are ready to embark on their own healing journeys. By staying true to my purpose and fostering connections rooted in authenticity and trust, I’ve been able to create a thriving practice that continues to grow through meaningful relationships.
