Terri is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and Certified Mindful Change Coach. She worked in the social work field for 11 years before transitioning to teaching and coaching in the areas of health & wellness, fitness, and yoga. In 2018, she published her first book, Body Love, Food Peace: Ten Practices to End the War. She feels passionate about sharing the transformative effects of self-awareness, personal growth, and mindfulness wherever possible, including in her writing and teaching projects.

Terri and her husband are avid travel enthusiasts and savor life on the road as empty-nest/digital nomads, with a home base near Nashville, Tennessee. They have two grown-up kids - a son in Colorado and a daughter in Berlin, Germany.

Terri is also a voracious reader, and is on track to exceed her goal of reading one book per week this year!

Bethanie is passionate about helping people grow through life’s transitions. She is a Certified Mindful Change Coach, specializing in Health and Wellness, and a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). Bethanie started her professional career as a high school teacher. She saw the wide variety of individual needs of her students and learned quickly that she wanted to be able to dedicate more time to helping students on a deeper level. After earning her Master’s of Education in School Counseling, she worked as a Career Development Coordinator (helping school counselors enhance career development practices), and then as a High School Counselor in Career and Technical Education. After several years as a school counselor, Bethanie fell in love with the practice of coaching, and became a Certified Mindful Change Coach. Bethanie and her husband (who is a therapist) own a coaching and counseling practice where they help people along the journey toward wellness.  Bethanie loves education and coaching, so being a part of the Guiding Mindful Change training team is a wonderful fit. 

Though she has many interests, Bethanie spends the majority of her free time either running or dancing. She lives in beautiful West Michigan with her husband and their two teenagers. As a family, they have had the fun goal of visiting all 50 states and have thoroughly enjoyed the experiences and beauty along the way.
