What clients have to say about working with Kellee.

 

“Kellee is open, good listener, pays attention to detail. Has a sense of humor. Always follows through on promises. Meetings are well structured and she also challenges you in a positive way.”

~ OSU graduate student, age 20 something

I have known Kellee for almost 25 years--first professionally and then personally. I worked with Kellee recently as my coach to help me refocus and rebalance during an extremely difficult time--I had just lost my father, I was extricating myself from a toxic work environment, and I was fighting a battle with pre-menopausal symptoms. I loved that we started with my vision and a road map for progress and success; not everything had to be addressed at once. What worked for me is that I was accountable to Kellee. Our time together was full of evidence based ideas, resources and suggestions to "try" new solutions. Kellee will meet you where you are and will tailor your time with her based on your needs. I'm at a point now where I can maintain on my own, but I know there will be a time to revisit these discussions, and Kellee will be there listening with the ability to help me make the necessary choices to get back on track.

I called Kellee because I knew I needed coaching with my diabetes. My A1C was edging up slowly. My doctor wanted met to go additional pills and I knew it was time to take control. I was able to lower my AIC from 7.6 to 6.8 and also lost 8 lbs in 10 weeks. I was able to do so with healthy eating and all the suggestions Kellee gave me. I give Kellee credit for her technical coaching and her ability to help me acheive something I have struggled with for 2 years. I have recommended Kellee to others for her coaching skills that changed my life.

Kellee is a dear friend who in the past few years, has also became my coach, my inspiration and the one who keeps me honest and accountable. We don’t follow a prescribed path, instead, we discuss goals and Kellee creates a plan to meet them…and along the way she assesses and amends as needed. I'm 93 and Kellee knows I’m not training for a marathon — she’s training me for life! We push my body and brain to stay vital — while still learning new things! Kellee is such an important part of my being. I cherish and am so grateful for her. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Kellee's greatest strength is her ability to show up to every meeting WANTING to help with a smile on her face. I truly felt like she was achieving my habit goals with me, rather than just giving advice. I would love to do this all the time but its important others get the chance to learn and grow. I cannot recommend Kellee highly enough and wish her so much success, good health and happiness in the future. May the light she shone on me be radiated exponentially back to her.”

"Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom". – Marcel Proust

“Kellee is a charming gardener!”

~ Professional, yoga instructor, age 40

I am a PhD student at Ohio State University. Working with Kellee was an absolute game changer for me. Before getting help I was over stressed and things in my personal life and health were falling apart. It is so easy to lose track of the small things when you have a large goal like an impending defense and graduation. Working with Kellee gave me the tools and the outside perspective to see that the habits and coping mechanisms I was using to hold everything together were working against me. She helped me to deconstruct my intense desire to be productive all the time and I learned how rest can be productive! She also helped me design a routine that places my health and wellness at the forefront allowing me to take care of myself while also getting the things that I needed to do done! I cannot suggest Kellee enough she is amazing, compassionate, and she knows her stuff!

Thank you again for everything!

I was unhappy with my eating habits, physical shape and lifestyle. Kellee helped me define my health goals of eating healthier, increasing my physical activity and losing weight. She did a great job of helping me come up with my plan, continued to check in with me on my journey and gave me encouragement when I needed it to keep going. I am happy to say I reached my weight goal and have been able to maintain it. Kellee walks the walk.

~ Phil, age 55

“Besides meeting a wonderful person I have made a real change to my life. I now meditate and while I was aware of the benefits I did not allow myself the time to do it. Thanks to Kellee's kindness and gentle guidance I was encouraged to try it, and start small, which meant I was not threatened by the idea, and did not see it as an additional thing to add to my list. Kellee's health and wellness coaching was crucial to my ability of forming new, good habits. Our weekly sessions gave me practical, realistic ways to implement my business, physical, and social goals. Sometimes when I felt like a habit could be started at high quantity, she made sure I established the habit at a small scale before increasing which made it more sustainable. I would recommend health coaching with Kellee to anyone who is looking to make a change for the better in whatever facets you desire. If she helped me make progress, I believe you can too.”
