A Bit About Terri Turner…

As a former professional athlete, I know that nothing is more discouraging than being held back from your best performance due to a lack of confidence and motivation, distracting thoughts, or unexpected obstacles and setbacks.

I assist people from various professions, ages, and skill levels in developing mental training techniques to enhance performance and achieve their highest potential. With 20 years of experience in the health and wellness field, I hold a master’s degree in Exercise Science & Health Promotion, a Post-Graduate Certificate in Sport Psychology, and multiple certifications such as Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, as well as expertise in Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness, and Youth Fitness Specialization.

I help my clients choose and maintain a positive attitude, increase confidence, maintain a high level of self-motivation, set high and realistic goals, manage anxiety, regulate emotions, use mental imagery, and maintain focus.

I adopt a holistic approach to performance, considering all facets of an individual to assist them in overcoming obstacles that prevent them from achieving their maximum potential. My goal is for you to learn how to succeed and lead a fulfilling life, no matter the challenges you encounter.

By providing evidence-based practices, I am here to offer support and education to help you advance to the next level in your respective field.

*To become a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) accredited by the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), I fulfilled the highest professional practice standards in applied sport psychology. This included completing graduate courses in sport psychology, counseling psychology, exercise science, and kinesiology, accruing 400 hours of direct and support work, receiving a minimum of 50 hours of mentorship from seasoned CMPC professionals, passing a thorough sport psychology examination, and committing to the AASP’s ethics code.

*As a Board-Certified Health Coach, I have successfully passed the board examination, recognized globally as a standard for professional coaching training. The NBC-HWC credential, conferred in partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners, represents the profession’s highest standard. Attaining National Board Certification as a Health & Wellness Coach showcases your expertise and sets you apart in a competitive field.

I’m excited to collaborate and help you reach your goals, whether they’re professional achievements or personal victories.
