“Working with Kelli has been a life changing experience. I have always put others and work before me. I was at a point in my life where I felt unhappy, unenergized, and trapped in repeated bad cycles. The one-day Breakthrough Experience helped uncover my hidden beliefs. It also allowed me to uncover repressed emotions and beliefs from my experiences in my past that were mentally holding me back from the success I desired. During the Breakthrough Experience, my emotions and beliefs were transformed so they no longer controlled my mindset. I was able to neutralize any mental barriers. Working with Kelli has created remarkable results in my personal and professional goals. My relationship with my husband, kids, family and co-workers have improved greatly and my stress level has decreased. I have the inner-peace and joy I desire.”

“Prior to my Breakthrough Experience with Kelli, my self-doubt was often crippling. My negative self-talk controlled my day and interfered with my life and career. My emotions were all over the place and I lacked the focus I needed to thrive in all areas of my life. I felt like I was spinning in circles. After my Breakthrough Experience, I noticed a difference immediately in how I responded and interacted with my daughter and family. The mental distractions and negative self-talk was gone, allowing me to be more present and focused on what really mattered in my life. Although I hadn’t lost any physical weight, I felt so much lighter without the emotional weight that had been weighing me down. There was definitely a sense of release and freedom ~ a much welcomed and new found sense of PEACE.”.

“Past personal circumstances were spilling over into my business making it difficult to focus, make decisions and see a clear path for my business. Kelli’s one-day breakthrough gave me the immediate breakthrough I was looking for. I have clarity on my next business steps, am focused and am making decisions more rapidly. I am energized, grounded and feel like a weight has been lifted from my chest.”
Michelle H.
“Before working with Kelli, I was suffering from what some call “writer’s block.” I was unable to stick to my writing goals and became paralyzed by overwhelm. After my breakthrough, I went from being extremely far behind, with fewer than a thousand written words a week, to writing over two thousand words a day.
I was also setting goals like “sell two movie scripts this year,” all at a time when Hollywood unexpectedly experienced a shut down from strikes. After my session, I had an epiphany that the goals I was setting for myself weren’t within my realm of control. I changed my mindset from “sell scripts” to “write scripts” and “get a book deal” to “finish the manuscript.” Now, I’m scheduled to release an eighty-thousand-word novel, as well as children’s books in 2024. Plus, I have an invitation to meet with a major production company for a chance to show my work!
I still struggle with focus some days, I’m human. However, now I have the tools to regulate and refocus myself quickly. I know the progress I’ve experienced in the past few months was because I invested in myself and Kelli’s Breakthrough Experience.”

“Investing in myself and my business by doing Kelli’s one-day Breakthrough Experience helped me clear up mindset traps that were holding me back from expanding my business. For years I had wanted to create an extension of my business but never allowed myself to move past the dreaming stage. Kelli helped me move past my negative self-talk and lack of confidence in myself. She helped me move forward into making those dreams a reality. After my Breakthrough Experience, I increased my revenue by 40K in 3 months. I’m grateful for Kelli and look forward to achieving more dreams!”
Christen P.
“I left Kelli’s Breakthrough Experience confident, free and peaceful. I have stopped second guessing myself and let go of what others think of me. The distractions are gone and my focus is clear. Uncovering my hidden money blocks allowed me to increase my prices and receive money more abundantly. I have unlimited potential and the mindset to achieve my big goals.”
Deb B.
“My experience with Kelli in her coaching program and the One-Day Breakthrough Experience has been incredible and honestly life changing! As a new mom who passionately loves her career, I found it hard to prioritize work, family, and taking any time for myself. I would go from a serving heart all day at work, to pouring all I have left into my family, and by evening I was more than running on fumes. Kelli helped take my overwhelming feelings, unpack them, and create a game plan that was manageable and achievable. She is an incredible listener, supporter, and accountability partner! I did the Breakthrough session at the beginning and let me just say I am glad I did! Not only did I see results week after week because of what we uncovered and worked through, my husband and close friends started seeing changes in me from the beginning. I have more energy, better awareness, a solid game plan, and am free from the emotional stress that was weighing me down.”
Amy W.
“Kelli’s presentation was a huge eye opener for me. She made me realize the impact stress was having not only on me personally but also in my relationships. Her practical solutions have made it easier for me to start making much needed changes. Kelli is relatable, genuine and engaging, and she somehow manages to make a serious topic entertaining.”
Dena Hull, VP Strategic Planning and Communications, Missouri Society of CPAs
“Before my session with Kelli, I was overwhelmed, procrastinating on projects for my business and beating myself up internally. I was sabotaging myself regularly and not living up to my potential. Kelli’s Breakthrough Experience was like magic for me! I immediately felt lighter, more hopeful and empowered. Now I’m taking consistent action on projects, and not overthinking or people-pleasing. I’m approaching stressful situations more calmly and am a better listener. I love the new way I’m approaching life and business!”
Jennifer H.
“I was unhappy, overwhelmed, stressed and on the verge of burnout before my breakthrough with Kelli. I was miserable in my personal life, which was interfering with my professional life. During my breakthrough I got real honest with myself which allowed me to experience relief and forgiveness. Afterwards, I felt so free! I got clarity on how to move forward and regained my hope. I am so happy to finally prioritize myself so I can be a better mom, wife and leader.”
Trish A.
“Working with Kelli was an experience I didn’t even know I needed! Kelli helped me dive deep into the roots of my stress and create realistic expectations and goals for myself. Kelli’s systematic approach helped me adapt new habits into my current lifestyle. Kelli helped me develop coping strategies for stressful situations and decrease any physical reactions from stress. After working with Kelli, I feel a certain amount of weight lifted from my shoulders. I am equipped to handle stressful situations with ease.”
Andrea Crislip Owner of The Maids of St. Charles County
“Kelli’s Mess of Stress was the exact message my team of travel agents needed to hear as we crawled through 2021. Kelli’s insights gave us hope and a practical guide to realistically manage the feelings of mental exhaustion we were all experiencing. Several of my agents joined her group coaching program and I enrolled in her Address Your Stress Jumpstart Program. After addressing my own stress, my lofty business goals went from a far-off dream to an
achieved reality.”
Christen Perry Owner of Classic Travel Connections
