Meet Faith Ellis
Founder and CEO of The KettleBelle | ACE CPT and CGFI | Kettlebell Specialist Level 3 | Reiki Level I Certified Practitioner | PN-NC Level 1
For the past decade, I’ve dedicated my career to helping women reclaim their strength and energy. Through founding The KettleBelle, I’ve focused on bridging the gap between physical fitness and mental resilience. I’ve learned that while digital tools are great for consistency, nothing replaces the transformative power of a supportive, in-person community.
I am thrilled to bring my expertise as a Kettlebell Specialist and PN-NC Nutrition Coach to the first ever EmpowerHER Strength Summit. My goal for this weekend is to move past the ‘quick fix’ and give you a sustainable toolkit for both your body and mind.
I am so excited to step away from the app for a few days and connect with you all deeply and in person. I can’t wait to see you there and build long, lasting relationships with each one of you!
Meet Alicia K.
Certified Mindfulness Wellness Coach | Reiki Level I Certified Practitioner | Self-Growth Advocate
Over the past 6 years I have focused on my own personal growth, part of which has been mindfulness wellness. I learned different tools and techniques to help shift my mindset, calm my anxious feelings and remove my limiting beliefs.
I’m at a point now where I am excited to share my own experience and learnings with others. I completed my Mindfulness Wellness Certification early this year where I have learned additional tools and techniques such as a variety of meditations and breath work that can be helpful in different scenarios. I am currently working towards a certification in Mudras and Journal Work.
I believe that with the right tools, anyone can rewrite their internal narrative. I am honored to bring these practices to the EmpowerHER Strength Summit and look forward to helping you build a personal toolkit that brings more balance and clarity to your daily life.
The EmpowerHER Strength Summit is more than a weekend getaway —
it’s a space to build strength in your body, find clarity in your mind, and reconnect with a community of women walking a similar path.
