About Kelly – Founder of Unleash
​
From Performance to Purpose
​
Kelly Phillips’ journey hasn’t been perfect it’s been real.
Growing up with childhood trauma, never meeting her father, and struggling through school with dyslexia and bullying, Kelly often felt misunderstood, disconnected, and unsure of her place in the world. But through it all, Dance and creativity became her therapy her way to feel free.
​
By age 11, she was working in a hair salon. By 14, she was leading dance sessions in school. And by 18, she had opened her first dance school.
At 19, Kelly stepped into the professional world, starring in a Bollywood movie and completing 11 international dance contracts over 8 years. At 28, she returned home to Liverpool and co-founded Connect Studios, which grew into a thriving dance and wellness school with over 300 students.
​
But in 2024, something shifted. Despite the success, Kelly began to feel emotionally drained and misaligned. The business no longer reflected her values, her energy, or her purpose. She could feel herself shrinking to keep the peace — and she knew something had to change.
​
It was on a yoga retreat, away from the noise, that clarity arrived. In a moment of deep stillness, she wrote a single word in her journal:
Unleash.
​
That was the turning point.
In June 2025, with courage and conviction, Kelly sold her half of the business and began again this time from a place of deep alignment, emotional clarity, and soul-led purpose.
With the guidance of mindset coach Gary Waters (mentored by Peter Crone), she spent four years doing the inner work to rebuild her confidence, identity, and sense of self from the inside out.
​
And from that transformation, Unleash You was born.
