I wear a lot of hats: I’m a holistic life coach, wife, mother and grandmother, writer, lawyer, latebloomer and lifelong learner. I live in a Victorian farmhouse in rural Maryland with my husband Rob, our cat Hopscotch and my vintage pickup truck named Betsey.

Prior to coaching, I spent 38 years as a corporate bankruptcy lawyer. Being a lawyer had its moments—I loved the thrill of directing my all energy into a well-crafted argument, persuading a judge with words and intention alone. A federal judge once asked me “Terri, are you a spiritual person?” I answered “Yes Your Honor, I am, but how do you know that?” He replied “When you come into my courtroom,everything changes; everything feels different.” That different feeling is the feeling of energy, our personal signature in an impersonal world. I knew I had strong energy—gleaned from years of spiritual practice—but how gratifying to know that the judge could feel it!

I now apply my signature energy to holistic life coaching, where client and coach work together with their Higher Powers to help the client shift and grow, heal and thrive, set goals and exceed them. And my decades in the legal world are value added: I can coach lawyers and those in the ccorporate world, speak their language, having walked in their shoes.

My greatest joy is working with clients who are willing and eager to shift, who appreciate a holistic approach, who let go of fear in favor of love. Who are ready to soar, skybound!
