| Teri's Clients Are Saying...
"Exercise and diet were always such a struggle for me. I have been on many diets and have joined many gyms hoping that this time I would make it. The diets never worked for very long and the gym was so intimidating and overwhelming that I would quickly loose interest after several visits. Teri brought more to my diet and exercise than just a "program". She brought purpose and intention to my health through her incredible experience, knowledge, kindness and great sense of humor. It is such a freeing experience not to struggle and fail with my diet and exercise but to view it as a changing exploration that is part of me...body, mind and soul. The results have been wonderful and I am so grateful to Teri for the amazing gift she has given me!" Ruth C. -Corporate Vice President Another thing that struck me about her referral site was the quote she used, Maya Angelou's "Phenomenal Woman." Teri, you certainly are a phenomenal woman, and you make me believe I am too! Penny Rich Dorschel
In the past, I have bought many things thinking that they would transform my life in a major way. Most often I have ended up disappointed—whatever it was did not make a substantial difference in the quality of my life. But a few have delivered on their promise. Immediately I think of two: first the 240 DL Volvo station wagon that we bought in 1982, and second, the time I have spent with my fitness coach, Teri Pirozzi. I started seeing Teri 18 months ago. My friend who recommended her described Teri as a therapist for the body. I needed one! I was in terrible shape. I had gained 30 pounds over a two-year period and when trying to get back in shape by running, I had developed plantar fasciitis in my heel. After 3 months of physical therapy restored my heel, I tried running again and immediately suffered a stress fracture in a metatarsal. In our first meeting, Teri listened carefully to my tale of woe and assured me that there was much to be done while waiting for the metatarsal to heal. For the next eighteen months, I say Teri for an hour twice a week. Today I am more fit than I have ever been and have an exercise program that works in my life. Also with Teri’s coaching, I have found healthy eating habits that keep me satisfied and my weight under control.Certainly during these months, I have had my ups and downs. There have been many days when the last thing I want to do was lift weights. Teri always listened, nodded sympathetically and handed me the weights. From her I have learned that it’s okay not to love exercise every time but it is important to acknowledge that feeling and dos the exercise anyway. The same with my diet. Teri had so many different approaches and was so knowledgeable about all of them. With diet and exercise, she mad it clear that it was always possible. It was a matter of planning and being conscious of my choices. When life was too hectic, she suggested 2 sessions of cardio – each for 15 minutes. Park several blocks from my destination and walk quickly to the meeting. So many little ways that together makes it possible to make the time for taking care of my health. I might add, that part of Teri’s expertise is her ability to deliver these messages in a way that can be heard and applied. She is a very gifted life coach. For me, working with Teri has been a transformational experience. I will always be grateful to her for making such a difference in my life. Janice McQuaid 2/25/03
Dear Teri, I wanted to let you know how much I valued your work with me. I was a little hesitant about hiring a coach at first, thinking (oh how arrogantly!) that I didn't really much need one, but once we started working together, I wondered how I had been without one for so long. Your help was invaluable to me as I careened through a serious business decision, and in retrospect, I'm sooooo thankful that you were there to keep me from self-destructing. At a moment when I felt incredibly stressed, you came through each time, every time for me. You walked me through the arguments, you role played with me, you alerted me to theconsequences, and you cheered me on. You gave me helpful decision-making tips, you guided my thoughts, you bounced thoughts around with me. I felt like you were right there in my shoes with me, which is quite unusual in my kind of business. I felt that you felt my deepest fears and dilemmas and you really researched all the angles with me; you didn't just say nice things or pander to me. You were encouraging yet sensible. You were never judgmental or insensitive. I'm truly grateful for your working helping me to structure the fee schedule on a proposed trip and the consquences it might have in the future. I was amazed that you were constantly available to me, as you said you would be, by phone and by e-mail. I was so pleased to be able to share my success with you too (really, "our" success). I can't thank you enough for this invaluable experience and I look forward to more work with you. And if potential clients would like to contact me, please feel free to give them my name and phone number and/or e-mail. I'd be happy to recommend my experience. Valerie Sutter The French Traveler
