Guiding You From Fear to Freedom

About Teri

IMG_1137_2I remember that sobering day when I thought, “Is this all there is to my life?”

I never would have believed than that this was the day my journey to an extraordinary life would begin.

I had over 15 years experience as a podiatrist, survived and thrived after a devastating divorce, and was successful in the medical sales industry, yet I still didn’t have the inner contentment I desired. I attended countless transformational seminars, was financially free and had a great new man in my life, but I was still living with a pain and fear over something I couldn’t quite define or describe.

To many, I would be considered a great success, but I saw my life as a big fraud. Overworked and overstressed I had unfulfilled goals and was constantly worried about not achieving them. I had an overwhelming sense of disappointment about where my life was heading.  I knew there had to be more to life but had no idea how to find it.

Having been through enough pain and knowing I was born to be happy and fulfilled, I found the courage to hire a coach. My experience of coaching taught me how to remove the roadblocks that kept me from a life I love!

Determined to give back this sacred work, I became a Transformational Life Coach.

Now, I am an internationally recognized expert in the field of Shadow Coaching and Divorce Coaching and am a sought-after trainer, coach and guide. I received my training and certification as a Transformational Life Coach from the Ford Institute in San Diego California and am a member of the International Coaching Federation.

"When I found Teri’s website online searching “life coach”, I was at a point in my life where I felt incredibly lost. I had spent 15 years dedicated to a career where every few years I would burn myself out and feel like I would have to start again. I was also at a point in my 15 year relationship with my husband where we seemed to be on such different paths that I didn’t know if we would be able to come back together and make our marriage work. Looking back, I recognize that I had become a person committed to always doing and being busy but had no idea who I was and what was truly important to me. I had also started to see that my companion in all of this was shame. Any flaw or mistake I made was just another opportunity to beat myself up or find some other “doing” activity to suppress it down. I was not “good enough” in everything I did or wanted to do and so I stayed stuck where I was.
This experience is like nothing I had ever done before. The little shifts happened over 9 months of inspiring sessions with Teri, daily reflections and a commitment to the action plans she and I created. Like Teri promised, she was with me every step of the way. She supported me to allow my inner wisdom to finally push through the muck of self hatred and shame. With Teri by my side, I was able to bring so much of what I had been repressing and hiding from to my consciousness. I was then able to make shifts in my life that seemed small at the time but I can now describe as life-changing. I became empowered to make choices based on what I want and envision for my life. I learned to set boundaries in my work and my personal life. I was able to see where accepting responsibility for my mistakes, and offering and receiving compassion allows me to give myself permission to try again. I can now question my negative thoughts and also grow from challenging experiences. It is because of Teri’s teachings that I am able to hear and honour my inner wisdom.
I am still me but now I can finally see “who” that is. I have confidence in my worthiness to be here - with myself, in my relationship, in my family, in my career and in my community. I am able to accept and love all parts of myself and be a support to myself when I stumble. In giving myself this gift, I have found compassion for others who previously sent me into a spiral of frustration, shame and hurt. Having had Teri with me to make these discoveries, I now have an openness (rather than a fear) to discover what else I can learn from my inner world and what else I can offer to my outer world. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have completed this incredible process with Teri and would encourage everyone to consider taking this journey with her by your side."
