I love my clients and their dreams! Always.

I'm not sure who gets more satisfaction when their lives take off, them or me.

When I started working with Kelly my goal was to have more clarity. The tools that I’ve been introduced to have been life-changing. Be warned — using the tools is hard work — like you learn to really think differently and in more positive ways. The structure of the class, the homework, and the other ladies in the group really helped me to practice being a badass again.

Goal Met 💪

I now have more clarity than ever before. I’ve learned more about myself in these few weeks than I have in a while. Kelly is a great coach!

Professional Artist & Graphic Designer

Earlier this year I woke up one morning and realized that I did not recognize the woman I had become. The transformation was slow, so it caught me by surprise. I had self-doubt, I couldn’t decide on what I wanted to do next, I was staying busy so that I did not have to deal with my feelings. Basically, I was no longer feeling the joy I should have been feeling. That is when a friend introduced me to Kelly Summersett who is a Life Coach for professional women.

If my story feels a little like what you may be feeling, then I highly recommend contacting Kelly who played a significant role in helping me discover my true (bad a**) self. Her guidance and unwavering support were truly invaluable in assisting me in uncovering my passions, values, and purpose in life and silencing my inner critic. Kelly has an incredible ability to ask thought-provoking questions and provide insightful feedback, all while giving you important tools that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

If you are on a quest for self-exploration, transformation and to feel joy again in everything you do, I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend working with Kelly.

I am so much more authentically and confidently ME because of Kelly.
 
I didn’t know how to actually change my thoughts.  And I felt certain that I was “the only one” who lived in her head over-thinking and stalling out from things I said I wanted to do.  I was so relieved to learn that I’m not alone!  Everyone in the class had patterns of thoughts that were keeping them stuck.
 
Now I see that a thought is just a thought and by tuning out the ones that don’t serve me and tuning in to my body’s cues, I speak up more, take bolder actions in my business, and move my body more because it feels good to take care of it.

I am so grateful to have these tools moving forward.  They’ve liberated me!

This class teaches you powerful tools that help you get out of your own way, and live fully, and authentically, for the rest of your life!  No kidding.  It’s literally life-changing (I don’t use that word lightly.)  If you’re stuck, struggling with your current self-sabotaging habits, or want better and more fulfilling relationships, (even with yourself), then do yourself a solid, and REACH OUT TO KELLY!!  You’ll be amazed at the results that YOU can achieve, and you’ll be SO GLAD YOU DID THIS FOR YOU!!

Kelly asks questions that really make you think about who you are, why you think the way you do, and is it healthy to think that way. She really encourages you to be comfortable being uncomfortable and is very supportive in your process of becoming a better you.

I have taken an 8-week MindBodyNOW coaching class with Kelly Summersett. It has changed the way I handle most things in my life that are challenging to me. I had no idea how much I needed these life-changing skills. I highly recommend Kelly and her coaching classes to anyone!

Dianne Connelly

Business Consultant and Analyst

When I started working with Kelly, I was FROZEN in fear. I was at the point that I could barely function, I was paralyzed by panic attacks almost daily and to avoid having one - I would sleep as much as possible. I was dead inside.

I signed up for 12 weeks with Kelly, meeting once per week. By Week 5 I was a completely different person. I was ALIVE again for the first time in a long time. She cleared the FOG that I was existing in and taught me how to live again.

Since we made so much progress by week 5, we were able to spend the rest of our sessions together building and expanding. I am so next-leveled up, and all I was looking for was a way to learn how to exist again.

I no longer just exist, but I and my family THRIVE, in just a few short weeks! Kelly gave me my life back, reminded me who I am, and taught me how to navigate daily struggles with ease and grace.

I am eternally grateful for all that Kelly has done to help me, and I highly recommend her if you are struggling in any area of your life. She will elevate you to your next best level!

Melanie Silva

Owner of Rad Work consulting

I have worked with Kelly at different stages of my life for nearly a decade. I’ll give you two examples of her welcomed influence in my life. But know there are more.

At one time, I wasn’t at all confident that I’d ever find my soulmate. Kelly supported me as I worked on my relationship with myself and guided me using tools that allowed me to stop putting so much pressure on myself. She encouraged me to have fun and enjoy the process and when I did my soulmate literally showed up. We’re married!

More recently I lacked the foresight to see myself successfully doing something new with regard to my career. With her support, I quit my job, leaned into myself, and carry such gratitude for her, women I met working with her, and my wife for bringing me along into a new season of employment.

Laura Marsh

Founder of Nova Conservation

I can’t say enough good things about Kelly’s coaching strategy. I have been through years of counseling and therapy but still felt stagnant. After reading “You Are a Badass” for the fifth time, I realized I needed a direct push. This is where Kelly came to my rescue.

Kelly approached motivation in a whole new way. By taking responsibility for your actions and full on committing to your goals & not making excuses, you get your power back. Not in a controlling way, (which I’ve learned is a stall-out strategy!) but through trust and flow, working in line with how you were designed & what you want to get out of life.

Kelly helped me live up to the potential I know I’m capable of, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Allison Lowry

Cabi Stylist

I hired Kelly to gain clarity on what the next phase of my life would look like. While I did receive that clarity, it was not by the means I expected and far exceeded my wildest hopes.

I was taught tools to recognize my thinking so that I could change my actions which have changed how I exist in the world. I learned how to get over my particular stall-out behaviors which masquerade as legitimate reasons and needs. These were not revolutionary ideas (they’re actually proven brain science) but I was at a loss for how to implement them.

With each passing week, as I work on staying present and implementing the tools she gave me, I can actually feel the difference in my body and see positive changes happening in every aspect of my life. I’m forever thankful!!

Carlin McRae

Director Of Operations at Ruby Falls

A friend recommended Kelly to me and I’m so glad she did! When I started seeing Kelly, I was seeking big changes in my life - buying my first house, finding new and fulfilling employment, and figuring out why my love life was perpetually terrible. I was an emotional wreck (or “emotional dumpster”). I was grieving the recent and sudden passing of my mom and a lot of the change, stability, and fulfillment I was looking for was partially tied to that grief. While I’m still grieving, I’ve been able to look at what I want and why I want it AND face the uncertainty that comes with change.

The tool that works best for me is FTFEAR (if you know, you know!). Using FTFEAR is similar to those moments where you say the crazy thought out loud and hear how ridiculous and untrue it sounds.

I’m now at week 10 of 12 and feeling so much more capable of handling the B.S. I’m able to identify toxicity so much more clearly now and I’m honoring my boundaries. I discovered street-smart Carlin (I knew she was in there somewhere).

Nancy Hale

Business Lender at Tennessee Valley Federal Credit Union

I almost backed out because I was nervous about sharing but relieved to discover that other women in my class regardless of age, had similar thoughts and feelings. 

I felt like a boat drifting in the ocean. Although I realized I am very blessed, I still felt unhappy with myself and my life with no direction. I needed to captain my own boat and that’s what this class has helped me do. 

Now I speak up without guilt and am showing up for myself on purpose and it feels great! 

What if you could leave your guilt behind and live “Now”? Think, feel, and act with purpose? 

In 8 short weeks, I am calmer, more confident, and happier. Kelly Summersett is an awesome coach! 

María Vives

Owner/Educational Consultant at Cultiva Vida

I learned that when you are stuck in one area of your life, more than likely you are stuck in other areas without realizing it.

I was able to see that one of the reasons why I was stuck at losing weight was because I wasn’t happy with how my life was unfolding. Kelly helped me transform my abstract ideas into clear objectives and goals that I could actually accomplish step-by-step and as soon as I started taking action on them the weight started coming off.

My sessions ended months ago and I still feel just as motivated to live my life fully!
— Maria Vives

Afreen Taqui

Organic Farmer and Holistic Coach

I came to Kelly knowing that I needed change in my life, but not knowing how to do it. After working together, I have learned how to access the tools that are already inside of me. I feel so much more confident and clear about my journey and am finally excited to move forward in my life. Thank you Kelly!!

Sarah Medley

Salon and Spa General Manager

I started seeking a coach when I realized that I was at a point in my life where I felt “stuck” mentally and physically. I knew I had greater potential, but I didn’t know exactly how to get “unstuck” and unleash it.

The results that I have achieved by working with Kelly has more than exceeded my expectations! I absolutely love that our sessions together incorporate both personal training and life coaching. The experience has been truly transformational.

I quickly lost unwanted weight and have started developing the dream body that I always wished I had.

Her life coaching taught me how to love myself, overcome obstacles, and mental blocks. My sessions with Kelly have elevated so many aspects of my life and overall happiness.

This has been the smartest investments that I have ever made for myself!

Employee Benefits Account Manager

I signed up to work with Kelly because I was stuck in many areas of life. I wanted to get unstuck but just didn’t know how. After finishing the class, I see now that I had an awful relationship with myself and my body which is why I was always restricting, dieting, and controlling exercise, food, and alcohol.

I learned that being a perfectionist was totally holding me back from everything I wanted in life and learning what to do instead has literally changed my whole life!

Food, alcohol, and negative thoughts no longer have power over me and I am moving and challenging my body from a whole new and healthy perspective.

I honestly wish I would have had these tools decades ago!
— Cheryl Norman

Natalie Cook

Corporate Strategic Communications

I signed up because I was putting too much time in at work, not setting boundaries, and feeling mentally drained. I also felt I’d lost the mind-body connection that provides balance.

I realized when working with Kelly that being a perfectionist was sabotaging my physical and mental health and keeping me from living my life to the fullest. The tools I gained have helped me prioritize myself in a healthier way, both personally and professionally. I’m setting better boundaries, listening to my body, shutting down negative thoughts, and starting to consistently practice the habits I want in my life.

I’m working to embrace doing my best in everything rather than shooting for perfection, and that’s helped break a lifelong pattern that hasn’t served me well. I’ve had immense personal growth in a short time and believe the new tools I’ve learned can help any woman looking to re-ground herself, find balance, and live happier and healthier.”

Kelli Holliday

Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling

I signed up to work with Kelly because I thought I should be exercising more because it would make me happier. I was so wrong! The tools taught me how to have a better relationship with myself and let go of shoulds and control and now workouts are easy and natural instead of something else to check off my list. And something else that’s amazing? I’ve up-leveled my relationship with wine after decades of guilting and shaming myself. It’s honestly lost its appeal and that feels great!

Kelly really does up-level your whole life in eight-weeks!

Lani Skyes

Owner, Fur Certain Pet Services

Kelly makes you aware of your self-destructive patterns –– the ones you don’t even realize you’re doing. She doesn’t sugar coat anything and she holds you accountable and teaches you to hold yourself accountable. She inspires you to be a better person and a better version of yourself.

Rob Praino

Owner, Robin Praino Interiors

I started coaching with Kelly because I need a change and clarity. On paper everything looked amazing with my business and life but I wasn’t happy.

Learning how to say hell yes or hell no has been very impactful. It allows me to craft an existence and do work I want to do, with the type of clients I want to do it with.

I have a relaxed, but focused, approach now and see more clearly how to grow my design business without it being overwhelming, just more defined.

Kelly helped create little tweaks in how I see and approach things (clients, projects, life in general) and I consistently refer back to notes and conversations to keep the ball positively moving forward.

Ashley Smith

Pet Photographer

Participating in this program changed my life.

I had been feeling stuck and unhappy with my life for a long time. Through this program, I was equipped with the tools I needed to manage my mind and take action. I also realized that I’m not alone, as many of the other women in the group have dealt with or are dealing with similar things.

I also had to deal with the end of my marriage during this time, and I don’t think I would have handled things as well as I did if I I didn’t have the support of Kelly and the others in the group.

I learned so much from the program and I am now better able to handle any setbacks I have in life. I sincerely appreciated this class. Thank you.

Josiah Goff

Co-Host at Enneagram Five Podcast

Hiring a coach feels super risky, I get it. It was really difficult for me to get to the point where I was ready to make the investment, but I’m so glad that I did. If you trust Kelly’s process and commit to doing the work, you’ll see an exponential return on your investment. Not only am I a much happier and healthier person, but my business more than doubled during our three months together. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Tonya Mizelle Joseph

Realtor/Entrepreneur

Kelly has a great approach to health which is not just physical. Words of advice: Make sure you’re honest with where you are in order to make your time with Kelly effective. Also be prepared to not just talk about it, but be about it.
— Tonya Mizelle Joseph, Paycation Travel Entrepreneur

I went into the class very hopeful about how my outlook on life would change, but I couldn’t have imagined the positive impact the class would have on me.

Through MindBodySWEAT I have not only gained tools that I will be able to use throughout my life, but I have gained a better sense of who I am as a person and what I want. I am now a more confident, calm, and self-assured wife, mother, and woman.

I am so thankful not only for the impact this course has had on my own life, but the impact it will have on my young daughter, who will now have a more confident and more open mother raising her.

The women in this course have become such a valuable support system for me, and sharing with them has made me more comfortable in being truly myself in all aspects of my life.
— With gratitude, Emily Bilbro

Working with you was one of the best things I ever did - from an internal and external perspective.  I am grateful for your energy, your spirit and your authenticity.
— Lynn Schmissrauter, Transition Consultant

In learning to recognize my shaming inner critic I have been freed from the prison of personal shame I never knew existed. I am not my inner critic. All of those lies she would use to cripple me are not ME. I am an amazing individual, at peace with myself and the Universe.

If you commit to put in the work, Kelly’s coaching will come back to you a hundred-fold! I was at the end of my rope, metaphorically, prepared to continue through life as a shell of my former self. And now, to borrow another cliche phrase, I feel re-born! The financial investment of coaching was an investment in myself and I am WORTH IT!

Do the coaching! You’ll thank your new self 12 weeks from now! My eternal heartfelt thanks to Kelly for sharing her powerful light with me! Life is beautiful and I’m excited to LIVE it!
— Amy Elizabeth Paulsen-Goff, Artist and Mom Extraordinaire

I started working out with Kelly to jump start my exercise program. I’ve always been healthy and fit, but had fallen out of a consistent routine over the past few years. Kelly pushed me out of my comfort zone - just enough - to realize my true potential. I was surprised at the amount of strength and endurance that I achieved while working with her. So much of what we did included bringing awareness to the way I think, my attitude and outlook on life. Today, I’ve incorporated regular workouts back into my weekly schedule and have stepped up my positive approach to life!
— Christa Mannarino –– Mannarino Consulting

Before working with Kelly I was scared, negative and I was good at beating myself up. And now? I found my inner strength; I am more confident mentally, emotionally and physically. It wasn’t easy at times, but I challenged myself. So speaking from personal experience, my best advice would be to sign up even if you’re scared as hell, and do it anyway—you won’t regret it!
— Annette Longoria-Adams –– Elementary Educator

Working with Kelly has created a very real shift in me; in the way I look at life, at other people, and even in myself. I have learned to love myself, and to put myself on my VIP list.

She has encouraged and coached me to take on tasks that I didn’t think I was capable of accomplishing (and, to be honest, didn’t really think I wanted to!) Kelly brings to light what is good, and strong, and powerful, and worthy in each and every one of us and, for that, I am so very, very grateful!!
— Talley Carroll, Philanthropist

When I think of Kelly the first word that comes to mind is inspiration. She inspires a change, she inspires excitement, she inspires positive thoughts but most of all she inspires passion. Kelly is passionate about life and teaching others how to live the life they truly desire.
— Karen Rollins, Owner, Jalapeno Corndog Inc.

I am in the best shape I’ve even been in thanks to your coaching/training this past year! I appreciate you guiding me not only on exercise but also the personal coaching – I can tell a huge difference in my response to stressful situations. I have learned to be grateful (instead of expecting the worst) and practice daily positive resets. Thank you!
— Diana McElveen, BB&T Huffaker Insurance, Asst VP

Business Testimonials 

 
As a business owner we have been so happy with the results of Kelly’s FIT Business program. Not only has it enhanced the overall health of our employees who are participating but almost as important it has enhanced office morale. The employees have gotten to know each other better and therefore pull for one another. That is wonderful to see.
— Mark Brock, Brock Insurance Agency

I initially signed on to participate in Kelly’s FIT Business program because I was in a workout rut and needed someone to motivate and push me to new levels. I never imagined the amount of knowledge that I would learn from her. I had very low self-esteem and just didn’t see myself capable of achieving any goals that I had always wanted to set.

Kelly gave me the tools to start believing in myself. She retrained my body, mind and attitude.

I have never felt stronger or healthier and look forward to every single session because she never fails to switch it up, make it fun and greet us with the most contagious, positive attitude.

Before management brought Kelly on, I questioned if I was important to the company at all. After seeing management’s sincere excitement for the program, I know of my importance and that alone has boosted my morale.

I am able to refocus after a workout and get back on track. The stress relief is amazing. And I love the relationships that I have formed with the other co-workers who are also involved in Kelly’s program.

Even though I have worked with these ladies for years, working out with each other has given me a surprising new view and respect for these women. Seeing their transformations motivates me to push even harder. And our work relationship with each other is stronger.

Kelly and her FIT Business program is a complete SUCCESS!
— Tracy Phillips, employee of Brock Insurance Agency

The benefits of working with Kelly will cover any expense. She promotes a healthy mind, body, and soul. Anyone who listens to her and follows her advice and example, even a little bit, will see an improvement in health and temperament, and the business will see improvement in employee’s attendance at work.

Kelly leads a 3-day-a-week fitness class here at Baylor. It’s free to Baylor staff and faculty and that’s a true benefit. Kelly has helped develop an amazing camaraderie within the group because of her style of teaching, energy, and ability to keep us interested and have fun at the same time.

This class means everything to me. It’s addictive, and I mean that in the best way possible. She challenges the class so that by the end of 40 minutes, you are spent! But that feeling of accomplishment along with the soreness and fatigue is so compelling you can’t wait to come back.

Some times when we’re moaning and groaning during an exercise, she will say, “Now, what are you going to do today for yourself.” And after every class she encourages us to be positive and make this day the best day ever.

My personal benefits? I have increased stamina, self-esteem and energy. I sleep better and have formed better eating habits as a result of regular attendance.
— Susan Collins, Assistant to the Headmaster at Baylor School

We have been fortunate to work with Kelly Summersett for nearly a year. She has transformed formerly sedentary people into active participants in movement and exercise and motivated previously active people to a new level of energy and fitness.

Her challenge at our company was daunting but she aggressively accepted the opportunity and reached many people who have embraced her concepts and reached new levels of health and well-being. Her emphasis on small changes was the perfect strategy for our group.

Our employees have gained a new appreciation and understanding of the benefits of nutrition and exercise and many have adopted a new lifestyle based on the knowledge and motivation that Kelly provided.

Her workouts are challenging but adaptable for all levels of fitness and her energy is contagious.

Kelly has truly transformed our company!
