Humble beginnings


As the daughter of a labor & delivery nurse (mom) and liberal minister (dad), Kalah spent her formative years climbing trees and building forts in many small mid-western towns as her parents provided community service and support in each place.

Hours spent playing in the country led to the development of a keen curiosity in the natural world, an active imagination, and a powerful desire to be ever creative.

Immersed in the Arts

Kalah studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and earned her BFA in sculpture in 1997. After school, she moved to Portland, Oregon, where she began to self-publish comic books as well as create artwork for newspapers and international publications. Including the obscure jobs of making ice cream for dogs and building barium enema kits, Kalah has worked as a graphic designer, illustrator and professional photo retoucher.

A return to service


The birth of her son in 2002 brought to light the importance of forming vibrant, active communities. In 2004, for safety reasons, Kalah chose to become a single mother and this solidified an appreciation for the support of family, friends and organizations which help people in crisis.

Inspired by the work of her parents, Kalah returns to the important work of being in service to her community. Kalah is a Certified Whole Person Coach who has completed 140 hours of coach specific training at Baraka Institute. Kalah is a member of Northwest Coaches Association and follows the International Coach Federation's code of ethics.
