Terri

I am first and foremost a mother;

I have 3 biological children,

1 additional live-in teenager,

and countless others who call me Mom.

I am a wife,

a daughter

and a sister.

I am a writer, a speaker and a lover

of humanity in all its infinite complexity. 

I am a certified Martha Beck Life Coach.  

I am a Black Belt in Tae Kwondo.

I am happiest in the middle of the circus that is my home or when traveling, opening my pores to any new sight, sound or experience.

I am driven.

I am passionate about things that rarely matter to other people; specifically, teaching children to practice the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for your actions.

I am rarely prompt, often laughing at myself, and always amazed at how much beauty exists in life, if I will just stop long enough to notice.

I want to change how our teenage daughters are treating each other as well as themselves.  My Girl Talk blog is the starting point for this movement.

If you're the mother of a teenage daughter and are ready to move to an ashram just to find a little peace, then head over to my mom support blog for comfort.  If you're interested in finding out more about my one-on-one life coaching, upcoming telecourses or in person workshops and retreats, please email me: terri@alifeinbalance.com
