TESTIMONIALS

Tarisa possesses the ability to see the big picture, and then she creates an environment that allows the individual to flourish as a productive entity with accountability. Her intuition helps guide her clients towards discovering their own answers. The answers that are already in us that perhaps we do not wish to see or hear. I would recommend to anyone seeking a guiding voice to work with Tarisa Parrish, I look forward to my weekly meetings with her and I am excited for the next chapter in my journey towards my actualized self.

Working with Tarisa was an extremely important part of my marathon training. Without her coaching I feel that my running would not have moved into the next level. Preparation for my fourth marathon changed. I went from dreading the last four miles of the race to anticipating the last four miles of the race. Tarisa encouraged me during our sessions to formulate a prayer and thoughts to help get me through the extreme fatigue at the end of the marathon. Race day finally came and I felt excited and extremely positive. The joy I felt at the finish line was a welcome change over past disappointment. Tarisa did an excellent job of guiding me to self-discovery. She is always very professional, a great listener, and extremely intuitive. I would recommend her as a coach, regardless of the individual goals. She is compassionate, articulate, and has a great sense of humor. I look forward to our times together.

Tarisa has been excellent in helping identify ways to make my life more rewarding. Before having Tarisa as a coach, the “gremlins” in my life really overpowered me, therefore, I was unable to enjoy life to it’s fullest. Coaching with Tarisa has assisted me to not only identifying these gremlins, but how they talk to me, and how they hold me back. This led to doing some work on ways to expand myself in order to achieve a happier and more fulfilled life. On March 27, 2003, my husband passed away in an automobile accident. Tarisa has been wonderful in letting me just talk, cry, and blow off steam. Our sessions go exactly where I want them to go, and that is what I really need. She is an empathetic listener and offers suggestions and perspectives that I wouldn’t have thought of in the depths of my grief. I think Tarisa is a great asset to anyone as a coach.

Tarisa’s skills and talent as a life coach were apparent to me even before the initial coaching interview; it was during this exchange that really convinced me that she was not just selling a “product.” I really felt that her drive was borne out of a true desire and challenge to “help people help themselves”. Tarisa never told me what she could do for me, but made me feel like everything I needed was already inside me. What really impressed me was the fact that this was before the actual coaching even started! I have been very satisfied, not only with the results of my coaching sessions, but also with the manner in which Tarisa has taught me to become an explorer without fear. She has rolled up her sleeves without hesitation and become my guide along a journey that I should have taken a long time ago. I feel I can emphatically state that Tarisa Parrish has been an excellent support mechanism for me as I journey through some pretty dark places. Her ability to be superbly direct while tempering me with just the right amount of sensitivity has me convinced that this person has not only learned the skills to be an excellent coach, but also most likely had the necessary innate strengths and abilities that just can’t be learned. I really do believe Tarisa Parrish is an excellent coach.

A Life Coach is a must for anyone having the desire to move forward in life instead of staying stuck. Life Coaching is like massage for the mind, clearing up problem areas that cause stress, tension or anything that might be limiting our "Range of Motion". Tarisa has exceptional ability in finding the stick in one’s life. She doesn’t hand out the answers, but enables her clients to find the answers within themselves through her guidance. Tarisa has incredible talent, she is easy to trust and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her!

Tarisa has been an inspiration to me since the day that I met her. She is one of those individuals who is a “natural” at identifying and understanding the issues that challenge us and often keep us from succeeding in life. She is able to balance the roles of empathic listener, motivator, and solution-finder, so that you feel as if you can really make significant changes in your life. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is ready to make some positive changes in their life but is unsure how to start or where to go.

After attending several management, leadership, and business classes I discovered that there was a huge gap in hearing the information and getting to a point of assimilating it and putting it into use. This is when I turned to Tarisa Parrish as a business/life coach. I had heard of coaching before, but didn’t really understand what it could do for me until I started coaching with Tarisa. Through our weekly sessions I have been able to really clarify my vision, eliminate obstacles (many of which I put in my own way!), improve my leadership skills, and begin to truly achieve my goals and objectives for the first time in my life. I have also come to realize that it isn’t just about “business.” I found that coaching has helped me discover my own values and personal dreams as well – and that a balanced life is key to my business success as well as my personal fulfillment. Tarisa has a unique background that intersects the corporate world, entrepreneurship, family life, and interpersonal relationships. I would not hesitate to recommend her as an extremely qualified coach to anyone who really wants to take action in his or her life.
