Transformational Coaching

Have you spent your life expressing only those aspects of yourself that you think are “acceptable” to others?

Do you smile when you feel betrayed? Do you say yes when you really mean no? Does this leave you feeling exhausted, resentful and helpless?

For most of my life, I suppressed this aspect of myself – my Shadow side. I did my best to hide my anger, worry and frustration. I always sought the approval of others. I thought presenting my brave, generous, clever (and smiling) face was my ticket to acceptance for fear of not being wanted – or worse, being left all alone.

The Shadow exists within all of us and can take on many forms. It is a part of us, yet we spend most of our life running from it or unknowingly masking it. But little do we realize that our Shadows make themselves known to us everyday. It’s why we get upset over insignificant events, and direct our frustrations on people we love or people we come into contact with that have done nothing to deserve such treatment. Worst of all, we sabotage our own success – leaving us feeling frustrated!

After countless failed attempts at happiness and self-acceptance, I finally found Transformational Coaching. This form of self-discovery encouraged me to see the gift in what I thought was my dark or bad side. It was a relief to know I could befriend my Shadow Self. That part of me I felt was stupid, sad, frustrated or jealous. I came to know that it actually served a purpose. Immediately, I felt hopeful about finally feeling “normal.” Intuitively this made sense to me, because sometimes I am frustrated, sad, angry or feel stupid and I was tired of pretending not to be those things!

With Transformational Coaching, you will be guided to uncover those hidden parts of yourself that have been preventing you from having what you want – be it a great relationship, a fulfilling career, more self-esteem, optimum health or financial freedom.

"​Working on myself for the last three years was a major priority for me, and it was easy to focus on the physical me with the exercising​; however, focusing on me mentally and emotionally was a lot harder to prioritize, or even just figuring out what that meant. I was struggling hard emotionally and mentally and I knew that, but I just didn’t know what could work for me. I had given therapy a few tries, and found out quickly that it was not for me and felt more angry at the process than anything. They just didn’t ​'get me.​' I have struggled with a lot of trauma in my past that I never dealt with, and barely speak about to this day, and recognized that my patterns as an adult from these life experiences were causing barriers. My friend told me about her experience with a Life Coach and how it changed her life, and sent me Teri’s information. I was skeptical - because of my previous bad experiences with just trying to talk about my life and my deeply rooted hate from ​'toxic positivity​', but what I received from going through this process with Teri was more than I could have ever imagined. My goal ​was to be happy and to feel at peace, which seemed like an impossible end goal​ for me. The process, tearing the house down and rebuilding it, understanding your past and how those belief systems have shaped you as an adult and literally in everything you do. In recognizing yourself in others, in recognizing that how you think about yourself is how others will see you and ultimately treat you, were all major ​'chapters​' that I came to understand​.​ ​I​ realized why things kept ending up the same way they always had for me.  This process isn’t easy, and uncovering a lot of stuff and dealing with it is probably the most exhausting thing you can do emotionally and mentally - but worth it and needed. Teri made me feel seen, validated and understood, which is something I can honestly say I have never felt before. This process worked for me, and helped me really understand who I am as a person, who I want to be and who I can be​. It also​ taught me​ how to deal with things when life throws you those curve balls. You can’t ask for better with Teri and what she taught me will stick with me for my entire life. This process and Teri were life changing for me and it was the best investment in myself that I have ever made."
