“Kelly Richey is one of the most talented, creative, caring and intelligent persons that I have ever met. She is one of a kind: a world-class guitarist and handpan musician, a wonderful life coach and team facilitator, a brilliant truth seeker and a genuine collaborative and open-minded human being. Her website will give you just a glimpse of the myriad of talents she possesses. Most of all, she is both a Light Seeker and a Beacon of Godlight.”

“I have taken regular yoga classes, and I decided to try chair yoga classes. It is a simple set of moves but what you gain is flexibility, great stretching, and relaxation! No need to get down on the floor or have a yoga mat. With a chair you can easily do the class moves either sitting down or standing up with the chair’s support. Tammy is a great instructor and having live music by Kelly adds so much to the class. I highly recommend the chair yoga class and these two amazing spiritual women.”

“A coach takes what you have to offer and builds you up enough to believe that you can accomplish more than you ever thought possible, then shows you how to do it. In a rapidly changing world that I didn’t exactly know how to navigate, I had the pleasure to learn from Kelly the things I required to make sense out of my life and establish a game plan. Kelly has wonderful insight, humor, and a warehouse of experiences from which to pull the most poignant lessons week by week. Now that I know the techniques and I’m suited up, all I can say is, ‘Put me in, Coach!’ Thanks for everything.”

“Kelly Richey is one amazing woman. I met Kelly through her inquiry about working with me as a weight-loss coach. Once we began our work together, I surprised her with an honest assessment which challenged her in ways she had not expected. In fact, she thought she came to coaching for a simple matter of 25 pounds. What she learned and took on was the challenge of solid personal growth and life transformation. Kelly took this all on like a new career! She gave it her all and hasn’t stopped. She set herself on a path of rising to the challenges of life in a new, healthier way which, believe me, wasn’t easy. Kelly completed a solid year of coaching work with me and I can honestly say that the depth of her commitment to herself, her growth, her health and her professional performance is nothing short of stellar. Not many people have the inner strength for self-examination and personal transformation. Quite often as people begin to look within themselves, they find it too painful or too difficult and then ‘run’ from fear of what it will take to change. Often clients realize how stuck in old patterns they may be, or how powerful their family and social network is entrenched in behaviors, attitudes, and habits that are destructive. Change may mean it will create stress within those relationships and social groups. Not everyone is willing to ‘rock’ the proverbial ‘boat.’ Kelly did not hesitate. She carefully navigated this very difficult aspect of the path of personal growth and recovery. She paid attention to her mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects, as well as respectfully improving environments and relationships in a much healthier way. My respect for Kelly as her coach, mentor, and now colleague is immense!”

“I am truly honored to have served as Kelly Richey’s mentor coach in the True Purpose™ Coaching Certification Program. In my several years of mentoring True Purpose™ coaches, I can honestly say that Kelly is one of the most skilled and dedicated professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. From day one of her training program, Kelly set out to gain complete mastery of the unique True Purpose™ process for discovering one’s authentic purpose. She took this stance first and foremost because she is an incredibly caring coach who is completely dedicated to helping her clients unlock the secret of their purpose and live it with full consciousness. I was genuinely impressed with how Kelly delved into every aspect of the process – no matter how small or precise – asking me questions, requesting my candid feedback, and constantly working to deepen her understanding of purpose, because she was also on a personal quest to really understand and live her own purpose full-out. That’s not a small thing! It takes courage, authenticity, tenacity, and vision. And she has all those qualities in abundance. It was so inspiring for me to witness Kelly’s understanding of her own purpose grow and deepen, while her coaching mastery grew right along with it. As part of her training and development, I had the pleasure of interviewing many of her True Purpose™ clients after they had found their purpose with Kelly. All of them verified that Kelly is a consummate coach. All of them told me that they were inspired on their quest to find their own purpose by Kelly’s authentic passion for the True Purpose™ process and by her honest sharing from her own journey to live a purposeful life. In fact, one of the most outstanding features of Kelly’s coaching is that she never gives up on anyone. Some of her clients reported that if ever they got bogged down in their process by a challenge going on in their personal life, she never let them “fall off the wagon,” or give up their purpose quest. Kelly’s rock-solid belief in and commitment to her clients is one of the most inspiring and touching things for me, as a mentor coach, to witness. That’s not a skill you can teach – it is an innate quality that Kelly has in spades. “I give her all the credit and acknowledge her for not letting me loose,” was the way one of her clients put it. Kelly is one of only a handful of trained purpose coaches who is certified by the True Purpose Institute ™ in the world thus far. Her achievement is a very special distinction, much like having a PhD in the academic world. Moreover, her coaching skill reflects and compliments her own ongoing purposeful evolution. I knew Kelly when she first began her journey to attain certification and I know Kelly now and they are very different; she has grown and deepened in wisdom, understanding, compassion and commitment — both as a coach and as a uniquely talented artist who is walking her talk by endeavoring to live a truly purposeful life on a grand scale! In short, I feel blessed and honored to know Kelly Richey and happy for any individuals who are blessed to work with her to find their purpose and fulfill their dreams!”
