Schedule your consultation
Personal coaching is the foundation of leadership cultivation.
The BFA Institute specializes in providing trauma-informed and culturally humble services that are holistic in their application. We believe this holistic approach is necessary for lasting personal insight and therefore, professional impact.
Services that work with your lifestyle.
The BFA Institute provides one-on-one coaching (in person and virtual), professional workshop facilitation, retreat and conference planning and execution, and nonprofit consultation. We set our clients up for success from the initial interview because of the undivided attention we pay to your story, your needs, and your mission. We are here to serve you!

Testimonials
“The support and coaching provided gave me a safe space to honestly process my emotions and move forward in a healthy way. I am certain that without this mentoring/coaching/counseling relationship it would have been a much longer process to self realization, forgiveness and healing.”
— Yolanda J.
“When we talk, I feel heard and understood, I feel like she’s genuinely interested in what is going on with me. She is also genuine and thoughtful in her responses. You can tell that there is wisdom and experience backing up what she says and I always leave feeling encouraged.”
— Rosyln L.
“Coach Kei's approach combines the best of both worlds - empathy with tough love. She meets her clients where they are and pushes them to become their best selves, mentoring them through self-doubt and discouragement. But don't sign up unless you're ready to put in the work - Coach Kei is going to expect you to bring your hustle!”
— Jordan Scruggs, Director of New Start for Women
