Today we’d like to introduce you to Kelby Bundy.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
For most of my life, I felt alone and depressed. I believed that “hopeless” was not only something that I experienced, but that it was who I was and who I would always be. I struggled with suicidal ideation for years and a physical disability took away my life-long dream of dancing professionally. I found myself in a rut that felt impossible to get out of.
Despite this, I was able to find my way toward healing. One day I just decided to just “do the thing” and figure out how to heal, and I was going to do it no matter what and no matter how. It was terrifying and so, so hard, but it was worth every uncomfortable feeling and moment of emotional shedding. Because now I experience happiness in a way that I never have before. I discovered that it was possible to feel grounded, connected and whole. There is nothing better than trusting yourself and feeling safe in your own skin.
I’ve always wanted to help people, and now that I have the skills to do so, I’m honored to offer Reiki Healing, Sound Baths, and Holistic Life Coaching to help people on their own paths toward healing. Since I’ve opened my business, I’ve seen people exhale for what seems like the first time in a long time. I’ve watched something inside of them remember what safety feels like, even if it’s just for a moment. It’s been one of the greatest honors of my life.
I believe that no one is meant to walk this journey alone, and I understand that not everyone has the finances to access the help they need, so I host a free monthly community gathering. I’ve created a safe space for people who feel alone to connect, feel seen and find belonging without having to pay for it. I believe that healing should be accessible to everyone.
Holding space for others is my calling in life. My hope is that anyone who comes into Still Waters Reiki feels less alone and can see that healing is possible. I’m proof of that.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road is never smooth. I like to look at life more like river rafting. Sometimes you’re floating down quiet waters, other times there are rapids. It’s all about whether you can decide to stay in the boat when you hit turbulence.
In creating Still Waters Reiki, I’ve learned that I can overcome limitations that life has given me and those that I have placed upon myself.
There are things that are out of my control, like whether people think Reiki is real or not, whether people decide to book with me or not, but I can’t let those things get me down. Those are the things I have to give to the universe. I have to surrender temporary comfort so that I can create what I want to create in the long run. I think success is found in simply not giving up, not jumping out of the boat when white water hits.
The limitations I’ve put upon myself are a different kind of struggle to work through. Having been diagnosed with depression and having a physical disability, for many years of my life I placed myself within a box. I looked at life through the lens of my limitations and felt that there were certain things that I simply couldn’t do. While reality exists and to an extent that’s true, I’d placed extra limitations on myself because I’d locked myself within a box that told me what I couldn’t do. Opening the lid to the box and allowing myself to expand beyond it has led me to find that depression doesn’t have to control my life. I’ve found that if I work with my physical limitations and have compassion for myself that I can do so much more than I ever thought I could. I am capable of so many things that I previously thought to be impossible.
So many of my struggles were because I was holding pain and unfairness in my hands and I let those things weigh on my heart. I’ve learned how to set those things down and hold what heals me rather than what rips me apart. It’s the most freeing feeling I’ve ever experienced.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a Reiki Master, Sound Practitioner, and Holistic Life Coach. I specialize in helping people regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves, and feel safe in their own bodies again. I center my work on safety. I want people to feel like they can soften, release what they’ve been holding, and return to a state of balance and stability.
I’m incredibly proud of the space that I’ve built and the trust that people have placed in me. Many of my clients come to me during vulnerable or transitional moments of their lives. I’ve helped people through grief, divorce, chronic pain, chronic illness, sexual traumas, self-loathing, and have had people tell me that they feel seen for the first time in a long time. Watching people reconnect with their sense of calm and personal power is easily the most meaningful part of what I do.
I have a unique background that sets me apart. I worked in Special Education for nearly a decade before I opened Still Waters Reiki. It shaped my understanding and grace for people. I worked at a center for victims of domestic violence, which taught me so much about trauma informed care and how the brain works when it’s in a state of fight or flight. I studied Sociology in college where I found a passion for understanding human behavior. I am currently a certified Reiki Master and Holistic Life Coach, which is not a combination that I’ve seen before. I love leaning into energy, but I also love science and digging into the data behind frequencies and emotions.
This work isn’t something that I just do for money, it’s something that I genuinely live and embody. Not only do I do my best to empower others, but I consistently empower myself. Feeling independent is something that I will never take for granted. I want people to leave me feeling stronger. I don’t want to create dependency. My mission is to help people remember that they are not broken.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
I love that Logan has all the things that I could ever need as far as shopping, hospitals, restaurants, and entertainment, but it also has that small town feel. There’s a slower, more intentional pace that makes it easy to connect with myself. The mountains and the beauty of the valley create such a naturally grounding environment. I also see so much genuine kindness here that I haven’t found in other places.
Unfortunately, though, Logan doesn’t have very much awareness for nervous system care or energy work. It’s such a religiously based community that I think a lot of people don’t reach beyond that for inner healing. Holistic healing is relatively new for most people here and I think they don’t realize these resources are available to them or they may feel unsure about exploring them. I’ve had people say that Reiki is “anti Jesus”, but that’s simply a fundamental misunderstanding of what Reiki is. I hope to bring about more education on the subject.
I think there’s hope. I’ve seen the community changing. More people are becoming curious, open, and willing to prioritize their well being. There is no need to choose between religion and energy work. You can have it all.
