Kelly Kingston

From Barefoot to the Boardroom

Life didn’t hand her a golden ticket. It handed her mud.
And, like the lotus, she bloomed right through it.

Today, Kelly is a world-renowned wellness entrepreneur, an International business specialist, and the founder of the Women Of Wisdom Collective - WOW Collective a global movement reimagining what feminine leadership and legacy look like. But the road here was far from linear. It was a barefoot, barefoot, barefoot kind of road.

The Sacred Hustle: Healing, Homeschooling, and High Heels From bodywork to boardrooms, Kelly spent over 25 years as an alternative wellness practitioner, mastering massage, energetic alignment, EMOT - Energy Moving Out Therapy, bio-resonance and Live Blood Practitioner. But behind the zen, there was grit. Her early career was peppered with part-time businesses and personal battles. Told she was "stupid" and "would never amount to anything," she refused to let those words define her.

Her turning point came with motherhood and later, meeting her life partner Graham in 2012, a Chartered Accountant and International Business Strategist who became her real-world MBA. Together, they raised a Brady Bunch-style tribe: four biological kids, two stepchildren, and now two grand-babies who call her “Glammy” (not Granny, obviously).

In the chaos of nappies, natural healing, and new beginnings, Kelly carved a lifestyle that merged wellness, business, and family. “I’m trying to figure myself out and all these kids are running around me,” she jokes. But behind the humour is a woman who built her life and business by design. 

WOW Collective 

WOW Collective: The Revolution is Feminine Energy. At the heart of Kelly’s empire is the Women of Wisdom - WOW Collective, a global network of women building legacy businesses from a place of purpose and profit. WOW isn’t just a brand, it's a revival of ancestral wisdom, where women return to the collaborative and intuitive ways our grandmothers lived supporting each other, trading skills, and growing community around the kitchen table and not seen as a competitor, competing against one another. At the WOW Collective, we are all about collaboration.

Women of Wisdom is a highly curated global membership platform for high-impact entrepreneurs, change-makers, and legacy-driven founders powered by a unique co-ownership model. It offers a full-circle suite of support: digital community for clear communication, affiliate links to share and benefit from, events that ignite soul and strategy, a business directory, global sponsorship and licensing opportunities all designed to provide the modern businesswoman with one sacred place to grow.

The mission? 

To empower 1 million women in three years. The vehicle? Retreats, masterclasses, online programs, a co-ownership model, and the KISS of Approval a certification that designates businesses as Women Safe to purchase from each infused with the signature Kelly Kingston blend of soul and systems. Coming in 2026 Warriors Of Wisdom and then Worlds Of Wisdom a truly phenomenal WOW Collective of Unity.

For Happy and Well was Kelly’s first soul-born creation. After helping build million-dollar companies on rock-solid foundations, she knew it was time to go all-in on her own legacy. Trusting in the vision, she called in aligned investors who believed in what she was birthing raising $360,000.00 in startup capital. But even with that, the journey wasn’t smooth. Happy and Well struggled to come to life. Still, Kelly poured in more than $160,000.00 over two years to marketing companies, coaches and branding teams with little return, of her own money not just as an investment, but as a declaration. This wasn’t just a business. It was her calling. It was from that frustration and failure that Women Of Wisdom Collective sparked to life also known as WOW. The vision: to create the very thing she had been searching for a collaborative collective platform that truly served women. Once she began researching, she was shocked. Out of 905,419 women-owned businesses in Australia, only 1% and an estimated 9,054 go on to leave a legacy after three years. So what happened to the 896,365 women who got left behind?

These women are WOW’s ideal clients

The WOW Platform is an International Exclusive Collective for Visionary Women Leaders wanting to Leave a Legacy. Women of Wisdom is a highly curated global membership platform for high-impact entrepreneurs, change-makers, and legacy-driven founders powered by a unique co-ownership model where you become a co-owner of the WOW membership model with regular dividends share, supported by other women-led businesses joining the membership space, allowing the collective to meet women exactly where they are at in both life and business. Any women on earth can be a co-owner as long as you are a member or Licencee.

Currently, WOW offers three membership tiers: 

• The Cherry Babe, led by Susanne Ridolfi from Your Body and You
• The Matriarch, led by Tracey May Horton from The Coaching Concierge
• The Visionary, led by yours truly, Kelly Kingston from Happy and Well®

Each membership tier is tailored to a specific archetype and stage of the feminine journey, ensuring that every woman can find her place, her people, and her pathway within the WOW Collective.

The Birth of Happy and Well Kelly’s journey led her to create what would become a globally respected ecosystem of healing and education: Happy and Well. This isn’t just a business, it's a sacred movement. A living, breathing community dedicated to empowering individuals to live in alignment with their highest frequency of health, wealth, and truth.

Born from her own need for integration between business and being, Happy and Well offers transformational retreats, an online academy, holistic product ranges, in-home wellness practices, and an ever-evolving collection of soul-aligned resources. From the very start, it has been a platform where ancient wisdom meets modern practicality.

The CYCLE

The CYCLE: Change Your Current Life Experience Kelly has always loved retreats. From Bali to Byron Bay, Ubud to the Gold Coast hinterland, she found herself craving spaces where the masks fell away and the soul could breathe. She was what many would call a retreat junkie addicted to that moment of deep soul-clarity that happens when you’re far from your everyday life.

But she started noticing a pattern. Time and time again, she'd leave a retreat high on insight, flooded with inspiration only to crash when she got home. There was always something missing. The transition between the sacred retreat space and the mundane demands of daily life was brutal. Integration was hard.

The magic faded too quickly.

That recurring challenge sparked something powerful. She didn’t want to just attend retreats anymore. She wanted to redesign what retreating meant so that it didn’t end when you came home.

That vision birthed The CYCLE - Change Your Current Life Experience the world’s first Retreat-in-a-Box. Unlike traditional retreats, The CYCLE isn’t just a moment in time. It’s a method. A movement. A multi-phase transformation system designed to meet people exactly where they are, for any age over 13, in any place, for any occasion.

The CYCLE is divided into three parts:

1. Pre-Retreat Tools – to mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, environmentally and energetically prepare you.
2. The Main CYCLE Toolbox The Retreat in a BOX, a guided, sacred process that mirrors the rhythm of transformation.
3. Post-Retreat Integration – a 42-day in-home retreat guided by “I See You” cards that are nested in the luxurious Retreat in a box, that realigns your habits, your focus, and your life,

It’s built on the belief that it takes 21 days to break a habit and 21 days to form a new one. After 42 days, you can put The CYCLE back on the shelf or return to it at any time when your life needs another rebirth.

The CYCLE is the box that keeps on giving. It’s practical, portable, powerful and deeply personal. Designed to meet you where you’re at, it realigns your inner world so you can finally thrive in your outer one. This isn't just about healing, it's about preparing you to live in full alignment with your highest potential.

Once you’ve completed the 42-day journey of The CYCLE, you’re not only renewed, you're ready. Ready to step into the purpose that has always been whispering through your soul. And that’s where the next evolution begins.

Life throws us countless curveballs and challenges. Of all the battles Kelly has faced, the courtroom was the hardest.

Behind Kelly’s radiant smile lies a woman who has survived some of life’s darkest nights of emotional and physical abuse, courtroom custody battles, cesarean scars and home births, financial hardship, and the daunting task of representing herself in legal cases. Each of these trials became a torch and today, she passes that flame to others.

Kelly doesn’t just teach transformation; she embodies it. She turned trauma into tools. Victimhood into voice. She walks barefoot not just in style, but in purpose grounded in who she is and the mission she was born to fulfil.

From Coffee to Connection Kelly’s daily rituals are sacred and playful tongue scraping, yoga, lattes, barefoot gardening, crystal healing, chakra mantras, business boundaries and family love. Sundays are for family. Date nights are non-negotiable. Her mantras? “Everything is always working out for me,” and “Relax to hear your soul.”

You’ll find her dancing under the stars with her kids, running two businesses, launching documentaries, and crafting herbal remedies in her garden. She doesn’t separate business from lifestyle, she integrates. And she teaches others to do the same.

You need soul, strategy, and a lot of sass.

She didn’t just walk from barefoot to the boardroom.

She danced, having fun.
