Sandra Jones Keller
Sandra Jones-Keller’s life has been a journey of geographical and spiritual destinations. Born and raised near Los Angeles, she received her bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Southern California. She also has been a spiritual and energy healer for nearly 25 years, as well as an intuitive pregnancy coach. After a career in public television in California and Georgia, Sandra and her husband Thomas decided to take their daughter Mecca on a life journey in Hawaii in 2012. They quit their jobs and left Atlanta seeking adventure and working odd jobs until their money ran out. After returning to Atlanta, they selected Naples for their next phase of life on the mainland, due to the climate and beach living they had come to love. Here, Thomas has resumed his work as an artist and a handyman, while Sandra homeschools their 13-year-old daughter, and continues her spiritual coaching and healing through workshops, YouTube videos, and writing books.
Tell us about the books you have written. I wrote my first book, Intuitive Communication With Your Baby’s Soul, in 2016. It’s an easy read and the tone is very gentle and casual. I want women to feel like I’m there with them holding their hand as they navigate through their pregnancy and trying-to-conceive journeys.
I wrote my second book, 21 Lessons to Empower the New Age Kid, in 2017. It is based on a series of mindfulness lessons presented to my daughter’s homeschool group.
I wrote my short ebook, How I Beat Fibroid Tumors for A Successful Pregnancy Over 40, to encourage women suffering from fibroid tumors who are receiving dire prognoses like I did about my pregnancy. The ebook dives deeper into my high-risk pregnancy journey and frightful delivery.
I started my YouTube channel a few years ago as a way to merge my producing and writing passion with my intuitive pregnancy coaching and New Age kid parenting advocate passion. I have over 75 informational and fun videos about trying to conceive, pregnancy, and New Age kid parenting.
What is intuitive pregnancy coaching? I became an intuitive pregnancy coach after a conversation I had with a couple in Hawaii about having intuitive two-way communication with Mecca before she was born and how she guided me through my high-risk pregnancy. Unlike a traditional pregnancy coach, I use spiritual tools and principles and healing energy work in my coaching. I view pregnancy as more than just biology; it is a spiritual agreement between all parties! Without a spirit ready and willing to come through a woman, there is no pregnancy. It is the spirit that animates and gives life to a physical body. It is the spirit that you can communicate with.
Why is intuitive communication important? When you talk directly with your baby, you KNOW you are doing the best thing for him or her in this moment. Why? Because the information comes straight from the source – your child! This type of communication adds an unprecedented level of confidence and security for you. You are no longer relying on sources outside of yourself for validation and confirmation that you are on the right track.
What is New Age parenting support? This passion evolved from raising my own ‘old soul’ daughter and through writing 21 Lessons to Empower the New Age Kid. My husband and I use universal laws and mirroring as our primary parenting tools with our daughter. I believe this New Age requires new communication techniques with our children. I define New Age kids as old souls that are wise beyond their years, are connected with and aware of their divine essence, have a remembrance of past lives, and are clear, certain, intuitive, kind, forgiving, gentle, loving, and naturally joy-filled and generous.
What types of workshops do you lead? I teach DIY Mindfulness classes to 9-12-year-olds on Outschool (an online teaching platform for K-12 learners) using lessons from my workbook 21 Lessons to Empower the New Age Kid. These lessons give kids tools to navigate their lives with more power and confidence and give them language for what they already feel and know intuitively. If I had known this stuff when I was younger I wouldn’t have spent so much time getting back to center.
I also conduct workshops for parents which I like to call intimate experiences and discussions. In Passionate Parenting of the New Age Kid, we spend time together activating and igniting par- ent’s passion and creativity so that they can be a positive, living example to their child or children. Too often, we as parents inadvertently squash our children’s dreams, creativity, and passions because we think something is unrealistic or stupid, or because of our own fears and limitations.
What is a typical weekday like in your family? Lots of running around with homeschool field trips, co-op, ice skating, and gymnastics. I squeeze in my business activities around homeschooling.
What does your family do together for fun? We laugh a lot. We’re all a bit goofy in our own ways. We love to travel, ice skate, play board games, hang out with friends, and go to the movies.
What the best parenting advice that you ever received? The best parenting advice wasn’t actually parenting advice at all. Thomas and I went to a relationship retreat years ago and the facilitator said “You are only in a relationship with yourself.” We use mirroring as one of our primary parenting tools. If something is going on with our daughter, we look to see what’s going on in the household and ourselves to begin making corrections.
What are your family goals/intentions for 2019? To live an outrageously fun and adventurous life and to be a contribution to humanity.
