About UsAbout Us

The evolution of The Emergent Coach courses and products sources from years of spiritual inquiry by its founders.

During their collective 40+ years of exploration, Terry & Kellie have wound their way through numerous coaching courses, practiced with clients and each other, investigated all things metaphysical through sound and consciousness studies, and read volumes of "The Road to Success" books. These journeys often left them with an awareness that something was missing from their seeking that caused changes to often not have a lasting effect. The energy of their inspiration and objectives often fizzled and they soon found themselves back where they began, asking the same questions and hearing the same uninspiring, rote answers.

The epiphany that changed everything was Voice Dialogue. This profound process developed by Drs. Hal and Sidra Stone in the late 1970's, provided the key to what was missing. It wasn't as much WHAT they were trying accomplish as it was WHO (what part of them) was trying to accomplish it and WHO was not part of the decision-making processes. The inquiry of Voice Dialogue changed their lives and that of their clients. Their ability to connect with all parts of themselves in curiosity and love uncovered a rich inner life teaming with energy, heart, honesty and wisdom. It allowed clearer communication that provided a balanced, informed path to confident action. This work organically emerged a greater sense of wholeness and self-awareness that had not been possible with any other approach.

They began to connect this process with other tools in their practice. They were inspired to create a venue that could share this and developed courses... to E-merge new possibilities that had the potential for staying power!

They proudly present to you the result of their collective searches and discoveries that put a fresh new perspective on self love, personal evolution and spiritual growth...
