The Balanced Founder

A Well-Being Journey for Aligned Entrepreneurs

A 6-month hybrid experience for founders who want to thrive mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually

What if your business growth didn’t come at the expense of your well-being?

Many founders invest all their energy into building something external yet ignore the internal foundations required to sustain it. Burnout, decision fatigue, disconnection from intuition, and emotional isolation become common side effects of success.

The Balanced Founder is designed to change that.

This is a guided journey through the four essential dimensions of well-being, Body, Mind, Spirit, and Heart, so you can lead, create, and live from a place of wholeness.

Program Overview

This is not just a course.

It’s a curated experience for founders to grow their ventures while staying rooted in who they are.

Over 6 months, you'll explore:

  • Reconnect to your physical body as your most important business asset. Develop rhythms of rest, movement, nourishment, and embodied leadership.

  • Learn how to honor and sharpen your intellectual energy while releasing the pressure of overthinking. Strengthen your ability to stay present, focused, and clear as a founder.

  • Tap into your inner compass. Explore spiritual and energetic practices that reconnect you to your creative power and deeper purpose.

  • Expand your capacity to feel, express, and lead with heart. Build emotional literacy and cultivate deeper, more authentic connections in life and business.

    Former Global Managing Director at Global Fortune 500 Company

  • "Kellena is a peaceful warrior, who guides you to yourself! If you are afraid because your "programming" told you that this stuff is all woo-woo, as someone who was once programmed the same, this stuff is FREEDOM."

    B.C., 2x Founder, Former Executive Vice President at Fortune 500 Company

  • "I was on sabbatical after having just sold my company, totally unsure what to do next professionally. Now, I'm comforted to have a proven, trusted framework to continue my growth to new levels. The integrated techniques of Kellena's work creates a space for true transformation."

    Founder

  • “As a business owner the responsibilities often go far beyond those of most other careers. When you're juggling so much and pouring your heart and soul into your work, it's easy to loose track of your workload and boundaries. I truly believe anyone who goes through this kind of work will come out in a better place, with less to juggle and more to love.”

    Business Owner

  • “If someone asked me what it was like to go through this experience, I would tell them - Life changing.”

    Business Owner

  • “I was always interested in bettering my business, but was never intrigued by traditional research and analytics. It wasn't until I started working with Kellena that I realized that my business setbacks were a direct reflection of my inner struggles that have been compressed through the years and never healed.”
