Inspirational speaker, award-winning educator, wellness coach, and founder of Inspired Wellness Services.

Meet Kelly Lynch Dwyer

Kelly is on a mission to inspire audiences to embrace life’s opportunities and possibilities. Awaken our resilience and reclaim our joy.

As she had to learn to do.

Kelly’s incredible healing journey, which she fondly calls, “Survive and Thrive,” includes a profound hypothermic event that resulted from falling through ice while snowshoeing alone.

Hours later, in the dark, she was rescued, barely alive. What ensued became a miraculous story of two hospitals, three hours of CPR, no measurable brain activity, and a coma.

Twelve days after she made international news, Kelly walked out of the ICU, astonishing the medical community.

From a coma to a return to vibrant health and joy, Kelly used the science of rewiring and shaping mindsets to heal from the accident and a lingering chronic illness, changing the direction of her life.

“As Leaders in professional development, we turn to Kelly for her knowledge when developing new training ideas. We appreciate her sense of humor, proven experience, and down-to-earth ability to connect with audiences, and we hope this partnership with Kelly will be strong for years to come. ”

Ally S., NEA-NH, Professional Development Department

She has designed her talks and workshops to teach the transformative power of changing our mindsets. Kelly provides audiences with the understanding and strategies essential to creating lasting change.

“I really enjoyed how these tools can be used for work/personal. Also, the planning tool! I like to document things formally; it holds me accountable. Kelly is always engaging!”
