Self-Care Setlists & Road Trip Tuning Kits
A record label’s aim is artist’s song hitting #1 on Billboard chart. A road manager’s mission is seamlessly getting band from here to there. My goal is ensuring client’s wellbeing remains #1 on their self-care setlist.
Tuner? Check. Monitor? Check. Holistic Wellness Engineer? Check.
Helping artists, songwriters, musicians, road managers, and recording engineers, put a little more self-care in their monitor.
For 17 years, I’ve supported artists, engineers, musicians, and road managers with self-care setlists and road trip tune-ups. A road manager handles travel and venue logistics on the road. A sound engineer and guitar tech ensures you and your instrument are always in-tune.
As your concierge Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant and holistic wellness coach, I ensure your immune, digestive, and nervous systems are in tune, so creative flow and optimal performance always takes center stage.
I’m personally familiar with all aspects of the music industry, having worked at Moraine Music Publishing, spent time in recording studios, and traveled with musicians. I’ve also clocked many hours backstage and at festivals like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, supporting artist’s holistic wellbeing through my Ayurvedic knowledge and acupressure treatments. I’m skilled at creating easy and effective self-care rituals that harmonize health with touring life.
There’s a songwriting saying, “You only need three chords and a guitar.” Same refrain regarding Ayurvedic wellness strategy- the simple approach produces desired short-term results and long-term, healthy living. Knowing my clients need daily self-care routines that easily weave into lobby calls, sound checks, and interviews, I tailor each client’s self-care setlist and road trip tuning kit to their unique needs.
I love consulting and supporting creatives on the road. I make sure your body and mind stay in-tune before bus departs, between lobby calls, in the green room, and after each show. I keep road life wellness simple for you, so you easily keep those encores coming.
I have backstage experience working with artists, musicians, and crew. From traveling on the bus, to hosting the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass yoga relaxation tent; from giving acupressure tune-ups before shows, to creating personal Road Trip Tuning Kits for artists like Lyle Lovett, Rodney Crowell, and Robert Earl Keen, I know how to address the common stresses of touring life. I’m skilled at and enjoy “re-stringing” daily routines, so artists, musicians, road managers, and all the crew stay healthy on the road and in the studio.
“I always look forward to touring in California when Kellen shows up with Ayurvedic goody bags, herbal mixtures, stress relievers, and the best therapeutic acupressure session a traveling musician could ask for. Kellen is a healer in truest sense of the word.”

“With all the hours driving, flying, playing guitar, and singing, touring takes its toll on body. I always looked forward to making it to Santa Barbara where I’d be rejuvenated by a Kellen tune-up. I feel more relaxed, refreshed, and healthy after one of her Ayurveda acupressure treatments. And her tune-up kits keep me feeling restored and ready to perform.”
— Griffin House

“Being a professional drummer, on stage and in studio, for 35 years and traveling the world, I’ve felt the demands of being a musician physically and spiritually. Discovering Kellen and her Ayurveda holistic treatments were a real blessing. From Ayurvedic massage therapy and yoga, to various herbs that work magic in cleansing and restoring, Kellen has a gift for giving new life and wellbeing.”
