Kelly Minnick explains how her TM journey became the foundation for her recovery from childhood and adult trauma. She says lasting transformation involves not only healing from suffering but also awakening to a deeper sense of wholeness and awareness within. She discusses how she applies Consciousness-Based^® principles in her work as a Consciousness Advisor^® professional.

Ms. Minnick also recalls how her work in graphic design led to an unexpected connection with Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, and to the filmmaker himself, David Lynch. Both were impressed by her visual storytelling, and she was invited to design graphics for Bob Roth’s daily TM quotes in the popular Facebook group “2x Daily Transcendental Meditation.”

Kelly Minnick learned the TM technique in 2012, in Detroit, Michigan. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she was introduced to TM Connect and Bob Roth, which inspired her to pursue Advanced Techniques of the TM program and deepen her practice. After learning several Advanced Techniques, Ms. Minnick traveled to Hyderabad, India, in 2023 to complete instruction in the TM-Sidhi^® program, joining 10,000 Sidhas and Meditators who gathered there to create World Peace through the Maharishi Effect (or Super-Radiance Effect).

As a Consciousness Advisor practitioner and a recovery and transformation coach, she supports women navigating trauma, grief, stress, and addiction through a Consciousness-Based approach that emphasizes self-awareness, resilience, and inner growth. She plans to become a Certified TM Teacher in 2027.
