Barbara Ann Kelso

Practical counsel, grounded in experience

Barbara Kelso is the principal of Kelso Consultants, LLC, based in Austin, Texas. She brings energy solutions, deal structuring and strategic advice to businesses that need practical answers.

Her energy work centers on generators, turbines, transformers and data center power, so businesses can move beyond a strained grid and run on energy they can count on. Her advisory work covers transactions, governance, and tax and entity structuring. She also gives her time to Houston heritage preservation.

Long before any of this, Barbara coined the word CitySpa and opened the first one in Austin, one of the first in the nation. Stars, producers, politicians and local celebrities were among a prestigious clientele who came through her doors. Her promise was simple:

Come as you are:Leave as you want to be

She built a center of professionals to enhance and transform: acupuncture, chiropractic care, skin care, massage and Reiki, offered by masters of their craft. A master practitioner and a seasoned business owner, a builder of big ideas and solutions for individuals and businesses, she has spent thirty years learning from true masters and is an authority in restorative practice and on the bridge between the ancient and the new. She brings techniques proven through the ages into the daily practice of today, as effective, organic therapy rooted in the earth, healing and restorative to mind, body and soul. She has been a pioneer in every one of her endeavors.
