Returning to the Temple Within

Nestled within the lush hills of Kiel Mountain on the Sunshine Coast, Peace of Eden Holistic Health continues to evolve as a space of healing and remembrance. Founded by spiritual teacher and visionary guide Kelly Wotherspoon-Rawle, it has grown from its naturopathic roots into a sanctuary for community, retreats, and spiritual development. What she is known for is her raw, human nature, unpolished, a little sweary, and refreshingly real.
After more than a decade serving as a naturopath in 1:1 clinical practice, Kelly has recently been called to shift her path. With her husband, Kane Rawle, stepping into the space with bioresonance therapy, breath work and esoteric acupuncture, he continues the legacy created and cared for by Kelly.
Kelly has turned her focus toward creating experiences that nourish collective transformation. A newly created ceremonial tent now sits on their land, offering a place for gatherings, retreats, and events where people can come together to reconnect with the earth, their body, and community.
At the heart of Kelly’s work is the Spiritual Badass Academy, a fast-growing learning community now home to more than 300 students worldwide. Opened less than a year ago, the Academy welcomes not only students but also other spiritual leaders, who are invited to teach and share their wisdom. This mutually supportive approach reflects Kelly’s vision: that leadership and healing are amplified when shared, and that we rise higher when we rise together. Alongside her, Kane continues to hold space through his own healing modalities, bringing a depth of presence and grounding that complements Kelly’s teaching.
In 2025, Kelly also co-founded the AI With Soul Agency with fellow visionary Alicia Hagen. This new venture supports soulful business leaders who want to harness the power of artificial intelligence without losing the essence of their authentic voice. By blending technology with intuition, the agency helps clients scale their impact and income while staying true to who they are. For Kelly, it is another expression of her mission: showing that innovation and spirituality can walk side by side, amplifying human connection rather than replacing it.
Kelly is also the founder of the Spiritual Leaders Awards International, launched in 2023 to honour healers, teachers, and change-makers for their contributions to service in their communities. What began as a spark of an idea has already blossomed into a global celebration, spotlighting hundreds of spiritual leaders who may otherwise go unseen.
Through Peace of Eden, the Academy, the Agency, and the Awards, Kelly continues to walk a path guided by humility, spirit, and service. She sees herself less as a healer and more as a teacher, someone who creates spaces where others can remember their own strength, wisdom, and connection.
Although recently selected as a finalist at the Alibi Awards (Australian Ladies in Business Initiative) for Spiritual Business of the Year, Kelly is the first to say that recognition is not the measure of success. For her, the real achievement lies in the quiet moments: watching students step into their power, seeing communities deepen in connection, and holding space for people to return to themselves with honesty and heart. Above all, she hopes her work leaves a legacy for her four sons, showing them that living with courage, authenticity, and service is the truest measure of a life well lived.
