Family is a big word these days. It's a powerful word, especially for anyone looking to heal and transform.
But if you haven’t built a strong foundation within your family, or if your family dynamic feels stuck or disconnected, it can feel overwhelming. It can be hard to know where to focus your energy each day to nurture your relationships and create the peace and freedom you long for!
I know this because I’ve been there.
I'm Dr. Kelly Bohnhoff, a Registered Nurse, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, trauma therapist, spiritual guide, and author of What's Going on With My Family? A Roadmap to Healing Trauma, Unlocking Your Hidden Power, and Remembering What Is Sacred. My life's mission is to help families transform fear into freedom through empowering messages of hope, healing, transformation, and spiritual awakening.
When I first stepped onto the path of a healer and therapist, I was confronted with the immense weight of suffering that seemed to stretch endlessly in every direction. The pain I witnessed—so deep, so widespread—felt like it was too much for any one person, family, or even entire communities to bear. It was as if the world itself was holding its breath, caught in a struggle I wasn't sure how to fix. The overwhelming nature of it all left me searching for a way to bring light into the darkest of places.
The turning point came when I was designated as an essential worker during the COVID pandemic. I was restricted from being with the families, children, teens, and adults I had been helping for so long. The inability to provide the care they needed left me feeling burned out, grief-stricken, and alone.
In 2021, I made the courageous decision to PAUSE—embracing the Possibility of Aligning to Universal Source Energy. This simple yet powerful shift allowed me to reconnect with my true Self.
During this time, I went to acupuncture for the first time, and I had a vivid dream that would change my life forever. I saw families worldwide fully healed—restored to their original state of joy, abundance, and love! This vision led me to explore spirituality in a deeper way and awakened the understanding that every traumatized family has a hidden power, a sacred potential waiting to be remembered and awakened.
Overcoming Struggles
But I leaned into a methodology I created called Look to the S.T.A.R.S.—Stillness, Thankfulness, Affirmations, Reflection, and Showing Up. Through these practices, I found the strength to push through doubt and continue moving forward.
There have been many pivotal moments, but the most powerful one was rediscovering joy in everyday life! That joy became my anchor.
I began sharing my message through writing my book, What’s Going On With My Family? and creating resources like guided and subliminal meditations, affirmations, mantras, poems, and other empowering social media content to help families heal using the Look to the S.T.A.R.S. method.
One moment that affirmed I was on the right path came when I recently looked into the eyes of a very traumatized little girl. After her family embraced the Look to the S.T.A.R.S. method, her eyes radiated with a light I had not seen before! That was when I knew: this work was making a difference.
