Which of the 5 Life Story Types Do You Have?

I landed my first role in a feature film, then I booked my first major lead.

I started working with Teri when I moved to L.A. because I was ready to pursue my dream of being an actor, but I had a lot of negative self-talk that was getting in the way. I was sort of my own worst enemy. She helped me push the reset button in my mind and I saw phenomenal results, even after my first session. I landed my first role in a feature film that same month. And within a year, I booked my first major lead. We all get trapped in old patterns that don’t serve us. And sometimes it feels impossible to break out of them, but it’s not. If you are looking to make a change in your life and follow your true calling, Teri will get you there.

I went from a drought to booking 3 TV spots and a role in Jurassic World.

I’d been putting energy into making a living as an actor for 15 years, and while I had pockets of success, I hadn’t worked in 6 months. I knew it had a lot to do with the garbage in my head. I had a lot of self-doubt, fear and criticism. I wanted to start acting again but working with Teri brought me so much more—like healing my relationship with my father and grandfather. Our sessions cleared out my negative thoughts and gave me strength and confidence. Mindset Repatterning also put me back in touch with the part of myself that started dreaming this acting dream in the first place. It brought it alive again. If you don’t think you can have exactly what you want, this process will change your mind and put it in your hands.

I’m sharing the stage with people I never thought I even deserved crumbs at the table of!

When I first met Teri, I was an “introverted musician.” I wrote music everyday, but never finished a song (I had 300+ drafts in my song file). A majority of my closest friends and family knew I loved music, but never knew I played or wrote or even sang. After one session with Teri, it felt as though the dam broke. She took me from a place where I would literally have an anxiety attack if someone walked by my house window while I was playing to playing shows in multiple countries and sharing the stage with people I never thought I even deserved crumbs at the table of! What she’s unlocked in me has overflowed from my creative career into every aspect of my life.”

Mindset Repatterning is like reprogramming a computer—it just works.

My first year in the industry was really hard—constant auditions and not getting any parts. I lacked confidence, drive and motivation. I was told “no” for a whole year. Then a good friend referred me to Teri and I was skeptical at first. But after the first session, I was sold. In each session we worked towards a specific goal, and every single time, there was resolution. Teri provided me with tools and methods to break through boundaries and really elevate myself, to set out clear goals for all areas of my life—work, relationship, even my relationship to God—and have the confidence and courage to actually go after them. I started booking more roles, including my first lead in a feature film. It was like entering a new chapter of my life.

We worked on publishing, and within a year my book was in print.

Before I started working with Teri, I felt blocked in putting my work out there. My book wasn’t published yet, and I had debilitating stage fright. I’d done a lot of therapy prior to working with Teri, but very few people understand what artists go through. There’s a vulnerability in being an artist—we’re tortured in a lot of ways. It’s truly one of Teri’s gifts, that she can hold so much depth. Her method is astounding—she was able to hone in on my issues even when I didn’t know what they were. I had these voices in my head, mocking me and telling me terrible things—preventing me from moving forward. We were able to work with them in a vivid way, and tame those little guys. She gave me tools to ground myself, and it got so much easier to perform. And we worked on publishing, and people came out of the woodwork to help. Within a year my book was in print.

It’s like therapy on speed.

Auditioning can be highly stressful, and there’s a lot of pressure on set. Much of what I do is mental coaching. I’ve seen actors have a good handle on their craft, but when the spotlight is turned on, tension creeps in. There’s an X-factor that holds them back, that I can’t pinpoint. When one of my actors started working with Teri, there was a switch in him that was flipped. His mental tension relaxed. He became more grounded, present, and confident. He’s bold. We’re able to get to the meat and bones of the work now and take less time preparing a scene. As a result, he’s booking more jobs. It kicked his career into overdrive. Personally, after working with Teri, I’ve experienced a lot of forward momentum with my own goals, too. This process addresses the X-factor that gets in the way of doing great work and resolves it. It’s like therapy on speed.

And then I was SAG eligible, just like that.

I’ve wanted to be a working actress my entire life, but I’ve always found some reason not to do it: I don’t have enough experience, I don’t live in LA or NY, I don’t have an agent, I can’t start in my 40s. I’ve heard all my life that nobody makes a living as an actress. Then I worked with Teri and everything changed. Something switched, and I started to believe it was possible. Two weeks later, the same agent who turned me down twice before said yes! Nothing but my mindset had changed. Shortly after, I booked my first role, on Rectify. Being on set was amazing. In two days I paid all my monthly expenses and had an amazing time doing it. Then I was cast as Dolly Parton’s aunt in Coat of Many Colors, and a sequel. If you’re struggling to do what you love, working with Teri will change you.

It’s been the single most profound healing force in my life.

Before working with Teri, I’d struggled for 35 years with PTSD and depression from childhood trauma. My relationships were stormy and unstable, and I was never able to bring anything to completion. I’d be jazzed to do creative projects and then halfway through, I’d get so depressed I no longer cared. I was skeptical of working with Teri because I’d spent thousands working with different healers and none of the methods helped. But something in Teri’s voice made me willing to take the leap, and I’m so glad I did. I feel better than I’ve ever felt. I feel like the sky’s the limit. My relationships have become nurturing and fulfilling, and my creativity has skyrocketed. I launched my dream project, teaching photography and journalism to AIDS orphans in South Africa. I can easily say none of this would have been possible without Teri’s help. It’s been the single most profound healing force in my life.

We put on the best play I’ve ever directed. What she does is no joke.

After witnessing Teri work with a large audience (it was the real deal), I invited her to do Production Repatterning with my production of Hamlet. And it was amazing. In a couple hours she helped them transform their fears (a lot of folks had never done Shakespeare before) into a kind of confidence I’ve never seen in all my years directing. They bonded in a way that was really unusual for a theatre cast. They really believed they could succeed at what they were about to do, and we put on the best play I’ve ever directed. What she does is no joke. I know it sounds crazy, but I can see Production Repatterning revolutionizing the rehearsal process worldwide.

When Teri did Production Repatterning with our cast and crew, we became intensely connected.

Many people have the tendency to be skeptical about anything psychological—the I don’t believe in therapy kind of attitude. But Teri is the kind of person who can help anyone move past that. Her work was unlike anything I’d ever heard of, and in being so different, my brain was free to stop over-analyze if it was working because it was. When Teri did Production Repatterning with our cast and crew, we became intensely connected. I’d just moved to Asheville and it was my first time meeting the people in that room. Some of them have become very dear friends and helped me with my education, career as an actor, self-confidence, and will continue to be in my life forever. These relationships would not have formed to the levels they did so quickly without Teri’s help.

Teri’s work played a huge role in the manifestation of all three significant career advancements.

I’ve worked with many coaches and Teri is by far, the best. My life significantly changed in several positive ways. My company found a dream partner in Lynn Verlayne, who is quite simply the best music consultant & artist development coach in the world. A week later, I discovered and am now managing my third pop superstar, Viola (the first two being Lady GaGa and Lana Del Rey). And my management of indie rock artist, Natif, shifted to a higher level. Is it a coincidence that all this these happened within 19 days of Teri’s workshop? I don’t believe that for a moment.
