Coaching

A Partner To Support Your Success

Benefit from one-on-on support to get results

Ready to power up your life?

Who am I at my core? What do I really want? What is holding me back? How can I live with more purpose? How can I create a more positive outlook? How do I master my mind and emotions? How can I show up fully at work without burning out? How do I get more done in less time? How can I discover work I love? How can I be an impactful leader?

These are questions you may have asked yourself. Isn't it time for answers? As a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC) and Certified Holistic Health Counselor (CHHC) from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), I use a multi-disciplinary, "whole-person" approach and process that can help you produce results in any area of your life. With degrees in Design and Sociology from Wellesley College, an MBA from Harvard Business School, and a Ph.D. in World Religions (and a variety of other advanced studies), I have experience in the creative, business and spiritual worlds. I've coached over 2,500 client-hours and have insights from my own personal transformation--from almost dying to vibrant health AND from corporate executive to entrepreneur. With over 1,000 hours of Teacher Training in yoga and meditation, I've also been pioneering the integration of energy management, neuroscience, and mindfulness tools into our signature Power Living®, Embodied Success® and Blissful Vibrations® programs for over 20 years. I focus on the whole person using proven techniques, helping you upgrade your mindset and self-mastery skillset.

Ready to make YOU a priority?

If you are ready to make YOU a priority, then get started today. Change takes time, so we usually start with a nine-session package. You can extend services for as long as you need. Many people continue for two years or more to keep taking things to the next level. Others seek short-term, focused coaching for a particular issue or help in achieving a specific goal, such as clarifying your career, completing a project, or making an important life decision. It's all up to you! Here's the process:

Discovery Call: Book a free discovery call and let's talk about your objectives to determine how I can best support you (e.g., coaching, consulting, mentoring). You will fill out an Assessment before the call and our work will be customized to your needs.
Determine Schedule: Once you sign up, we will send you an Agreement and schedule your sessions. We usually try and stick to the same day/time each session.
Outline Goals: In the first session, we will discuss your goals and determine an initial action plan.
Energy Management Training: Given my mind-body training, I will guide you through techniques to master your mood and mind-states, optimize your energy, and build resilience. This will be helpful regardless of your goals.
Ongoing Support & Review: We will work through roadblocks together and when you complete specific goals, we will debrief and celebrate.

What Others Are Saying

Higher and Higher Goals "Terri coached me over many years and it completely changed my life in every aspect. I have more energy, feel better about myself and I'm more focused on my goals - my many goals - I've narrowed them down and have a plan of action so things don't feel like they're getting away from me anymore. She helps you see things from a different point of view or even things that were just in front of you that you didn't recognize before and so you start to connect the dots. My work with Terri led me to achieve higher and higher goals - from taking control of my health and getting a promotion to purchasing my first building and starting my own business. I now own four buildings and a successful retail business."

-Leona Frett, Entrepreneur & Real Estate Investor

More Intentional Vision "When it comes to coaching, Teresa Kennedy makes it happen. She provided me with a clear, concise, and effective logic and inspiration that moved me forward in my business and personal world. Each time we interacted, I walked away with greater purpose and confidence where I was open to seeing the possibilities. I accomplish more on a daily basis with full intent of building my dreams as a result of her guidance. Her aptitude and ability allowed me to have a greater, deeper and more intentional vision. Since my coaching with Teresa, my business and personal life has grown immensely. I highly recommend Teresa Kennedy to provide whatever it is that a person needs and for any reason."

-Laurie Lessans, Former President & CEO, OGS Order Green Supply LLC

Holistic Approach to Success "Terri and I met when I was the Director of Cultural Health at the American Heart Association in NYC where she was a national speaker and advocate. We did multiple events together for the organization. When I decided to make a career move, she coached me through it. After a few job changes and foray into entrepreneurship, she is still inspiring me to reach my highest potential. Her emphasis on energy management and breath control has been useful in many stressful situations. I even followed in her footsteps and trained as a yoga teacher with Tao Porchon-Lynch and became a Holistic Health Counselor through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in addition to my Masters in Public Health. I very much appreciate her focus on purpose-driven work and a holistic approach to success which I now understand is a lifelong journey. I'm thankful for Terri's mentorship and friendship."

-Sherri Holman, MPH, Public Health Advocate & Entrepreneur

Introduction to Yoga & Healthier Lifestyle "Terri was my first introduction to yoga and a healthier lifestyle. We chose her to facilitate our women's retreat several times. She is a honorary 'Spirit of the Feathers.' I also participated in her daylong New Year New You retreat and the virtual Power Up Your Dreams retreat. Whether in-person or virtual, she delivers. Her programs continue to reinforce tools I have learned and now incorporate into my daily life."
