My Experience Working
with Kelli Risse
“Going through the 90-Day Total Transformation program with Kelli as my coach was revolutionary and the most nourishing thing I have ever done for myself! Her unique approach was nothing like the other programs I’ve tried in the past. I thought she was just going to tell me what to eat, how much to eat, and how to drum up more willpower. What I got instead was much deeper and more significant to my overall life. Willpower was not needed to be successful. In 90 days, I was able to lose weight, gain energy, develop a new perspective around food without restriction or a diet, gain confidence, start a self-care practice, increase my self-esteem, change my negative self-talk to positive self-talk, improve my relationship with my kids, and increase my self-worth. Working with Kelli is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I will forever be grateful to her for my TOTAL TRANSFORMATION!”
“Working with Kelli in the 90-Day Hello Peace Transformation program has allowed me to reset from a life consumed and controlled by stress to a life where I’m learning and growing every day. The small instrumental changes I’ve made are making a HUGE impact in my everyday life. I am healthier physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Now, I am able to stay calm, manage stress in appropriate ways, be more productive, choose carefully what is worth my time and what is not, constantly complete routine tasks so my household runs more efficiently, and better care for my mind, body, and spirit. For years, my life felt like I would surface from insane stress, gasp for breath, and immediately be pulled back under into more stress. Now, I’m learning to swim with my head above water with a calm, steady and empowered stroke!”
“My breakthrough session was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Kelli’s demeanor, professionalism, and empathetic nature was so welcomed and appreciated. Her skillfulness of sitting one-on-one with me with only palpable love and her confidence in my ability to take the tools she was revealing to me and use them for my own good was so empowering. If you feel like you’ve tried everything and you want a proactive plan for growth in your life and/or your business, I would highly recommend this session.”
“Working with Kelli has been a life changing experience. During the breakout session, my emotions and beliefs were transformed so they no longer controlled my mindset. I was able to neutralize any mental barriers and the results have been remarkable. I have made huge progress towards my goals of living a healthier life. My relationship with my husband, kids, family and co-workers have improved greatly and my stress level has decreased. I have the inner-peace and joy I desire. I am so happy I took the leap of faith with Kelli at Rise Up and Live Wellness!”
