Life Coach Kellie deRuyter, CEC, PCC

"Before working with Kellie, I was complaining about working 7 days a week.  I did psychic calls and personal sessions morning, noon and night. I did not have enough quality time with my son, or enough money.

I had no set days off and my clients called me whenever they wanted to. I felt out of control and overwhelmed.

In my first session with Kellie, she suggested I raise my rates and shorten my sessions (she actually offered the precise prices and time frames). I laughed and said, “No way!”

I hate to sell, because I don’t want to seem pushy, but Kellie showed me how to get the value of what I do across without sounding pushy. She also helped me create enticing packages that offered more value without taking up more of my time.

I began quoting her suggested rates to new clients and to my astonishment, they scheduled without hesitation! So I began raising my long term clients’ rates…and shortening their sessions.

Whoo-hoo! It felt wonderful to finally have time for my personal life and money!

Kellie is a fabulous coach because I get the best of both worlds: I make all the decisions regarding my business, but she gives me tons of ideas, scripts on what to say to clients, and specific step-by-step guidance on every aspect of marketing and growing my business.

She’s really great at guiding me through my mental blocks around it all too.

I am much more excited about my psychic career now! I am managing my time better, and spending much more of it with my son. I now have a brand new group of clients that I enjoy much more. Best of all, I am making a lot more money …working Less!

Kellie has transformed me from a victim into a happy powerhouse! Thank you so much Kellie. I owe you a zillion dollars!"

"Crazy is a good word for my situation when I met Kellie. I had clients ranging from 5 to 20 hour retainers, all at different rates. I was undercharging and I just let them use up the hours whenever they wanted, so my income was wildly inconsistent. 

I set no boundaries and my clients were used to taking advantage of me. I was afraid to raise my prices or make any other changes because I didn't want to lose clients.

Kellie helped me convert to monthly packages & raise my rates to be consistent and to reflect what my services were worth. I love it! Now I get paid consistently every month, which makes paying the bills a lot easier. 

She helped me set boundaries, get organized, balance my work load, and also to understand what was unique and valuable about what I had to offer.  All this has helped me get control of my business and my life back.

She helped me give outstanding service to my clients. For example, I recently brought on a new Coach client who needed support in being organized.  I was afraid of being a nag, but Kellie taught me skills that helped me support him powerfully, without nagging.

My client was totally receptive to her suggestions and because of that we have an amazing working relationship. I truly feel that this will be a client I will have an extremely long time. The knowledge and insight she has shared with me are priceless.

And as for her help with my marketing and getting my ideal clients, all I can say is WOW….it was awesome to learn how my personality and my brand work hand in hand to attract my ideal clients! It really works!

I love love love, Kellie's no nonsense approach to her coaching. She calls it like she sees it, and always in a manner that is tactful and understanding. She always gives me a high level of encouragement.

Having her on my side has been amazing. She has seen me through the process of transforming my business. Her calm kept me grounded and motivated so that I could move through the challenges of getting my business right where I wanted it to be!"

"When I contacted Kellie, I was stressed, exhausted, and overwhelmed. I was having a difficult time balancing work, family, and home, let alone creating any “me” time.

Being a driven person, I was working so hard to make my clients happy that I was missing out on spending time with my young son. I was afraid to take on any new clients until I could get control of my business and my life.

I had a free breakthrough session with Kellie, and she knew immediately that my issues were caused by my lack of setting boundaries and my need to “over deliver” excellent customer service. My clients were not demanding it from me, I was demanding it from myself!

After our VIP Day, I was not only clear on what I needed to do, but I was also comfortable actually doing it. Believe it or not, the steps I have taken since then have not only given me applause from my current clients, but my business has nearly doubled! No kidding!

Kellie is very focused on the needs of her clients and very perceptive about what is really going on behind the scenes. She is fantastic at pointing out what she sees in a positive way and suggesting what changes may be helpful. Then she encourages me to think about them and make the best decisions for myself and my business.

Working with Kellie has honestly made me feel much more in control and much more empowered as a business owner than I’ve ever felt before.

Her knowledge has helped me put together fantastic service packages in a way that highlights the talents of myself and my team, and helps us stand out from other Virtual Assistants.

And most importantly, she has helped me see that I can have a successful business AND more time with my son!Thank you, Kellie, for the amazing breakthrough and growth!"

"I started coaching with Kellie because my life was completely overwhelming, no time to breathe, no time to really enjoy life, just busy, busy, go-go-go. I was working toward a Master's degree, teaching, and filling the role of wife and mother.

Now, after just one month, I feel like I'm flying free! It's as though weights have been lifted off my shoulders. I'm not as irritable, and I take the time to think about things instead of making snap decisions that I'll end up regretting later.

Through Kellie's coaching, I saw that I was more worried about other people's feelings and needs than my own. I finally realized that for everybody to be happy, including me, I had to stop pleasing everybody else at my own expense. And once I said "No" the first time, it got easier and easier each time!

Kellie was always very positive, and she created a very nurturing, comfortable environment. I never felt like I had to prove anything to her. She was like a person I could meet at a coffee shop and sit and chat with. She made me feel safe enough to take a look at myself and ask myself: why? She asked me questions that really made me think.

I wholeheartedly recommend everybody to her! If you're considering coaching, I think you owe it to yourself to read her website and at least talk to her once or twice before saying no, or giving up on what you want.

It's my experience that Kellie understands how to help you live your life according to what really matters . . . to you."

"Kellie, when I started coaching with you, I was miserable. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.  I didn't have the relationships I wanted with my husband, my daughter-in-law or my granddaughter. I was lonely, bored, and truly stuck.

You've helped me so much, I can't find the words to express it. I've faced many challenges these last six months, and I've had your wisdom and words of encouragement to help me see my way. You've kept me on track and focused.

Emotionally I've released so much garbage, and you've been there every step of the way, supporting me and cheering me on. You helped me work through what would make me happy in a job, so I arrived at a place of clarity and certainty about what would fit my priorities and my needs.

My energy has shifted completely! I'm in a more optimistic and positive place. My communication and my relationships have all improved dramatically. I now have a wonderful relationship with my granddaughter, a marriage that continues to improve daily, and I'm more engaged around finding what makes me happy--and then doing it.

You've helped me gain back my self-esteem and find new, positive ways of looking at situations. I am soooo much more at peace, and I look forward to the journey ahead. I want to repeat what I said to you the last time I gave you a hug: "Thank you Kellie, for saving my life!"

"Kellie, when I began coaching with you, I was working full-time, traveling for my job, and raising three children aged nine, seven and three. I felt as though I should be able to do it all perfectly, but through coaching I discovered I was holding myself up to unrealistically high standards.  

I engaged in constant negative “self-talk” because I wasn’t measuring up to those standards. After I began coaching with you, I finally recognized how damaging that negative self-talk was to me and the people around me, and I learned to relax.

I let up on myself and stopped feeling as though I had to be “on” all the time. I honestly could never laugh at myself until I started coaching with you!

I also got out of a job that did not fit with the lifestyle I wanted for myself and my family. You helped me see what I really needed in a job, which included more balance, and now I can say I have my “dream job!”

I know you have many clients, but you’ve always made me feel as though I was your only client. You listen very intently to what I’m saying, and you’re always very concerned with how I’m doing. 

I really feel that you know me and care about me and because of that, I have chosen to reach out to you for additional coaching at critical times in my life. Each time I have come away equipped with better "life tools” and very thankful for your help."

"When Kellie and I started working together, I was here in the world but I did not know what direction to take in my life.  I was overwhelmed with too much work and too many responsibilities—my job and my life were running me instead of the other way around. Without realizing it, I had sacrificed my own happiness and well being to make everyone else happy, particularly at work.

It was a process, but with Kellie's help I learned how to set boundaries with everyone in my life, especially with my boss and co-workers. Now, I'm a tiger! Life is too short to allow people to take advantage of you.

Everyone notices that I'm not a "Squish" anymore. I don't bleed for everyone. I don't feel their stuff. I am human and I care, but I have a life too that is just as important. I am free now. I have a direction and I am in charge of my life. I wear a smile, and I owe it to Kellie: my friend, my mentor."

"Before I started working with Kellie, I was stuck. I am a very driven person and I had ideas of what I needed to do, but I didn't know how to follow through and implement those ideas.

With Kellie as my accountability partner, I have done more in the last 6 months than I did for years on my own! She helped me create a step-by-step plan to achieve my goals, then supported me and held me accountable for completing each step.

I was also having communication problems with my husband, and a lot of difficulties with my extended family. Kellie helped me see that I wasn't speaking up for myself with my husband or my family, and with her encouragement I began to communicate what I needed them to know, and to make requests for what I wanted.

Wow! It seemed as though all my troubles melted away, and all my issues disappeared within a short period of time!

My personal relationship with my husband has improved tremendously. Kellie's support and encouragement has helped me speak up and say things to him that were very hard for me to talk about before. I've learned to listen to him and really hear what he says now. He notices the difference, and even though he was skeptical about the coaching at first, now he's thrilled at what I've gotten out of it!

I have better relationships and more quality time with my mom and dad, and my children do also. I always wanted there to be a special bond between my parents and my kids, and now there is.

I think what I appreciate the most about Kellie is the way she cheers me on. Every time I hang up the phone after working with her, I feel so confident and powerful, I'm sure I can do anything I set my mind to, and then I do!"

"When I began coaching with Kellie, I was in a very dark place. I was very negative, I didn't believe in myself, and I didn't feel like there was any hope for the future.

I was very unhappy and struggling tremendously with my work situation and my boss.

Kellie helped me free myself from a self-inflicted prison. She gently but firmly helped me see that I was held hostage by my own thoughts. I began to realize that rather than protecting me, as I believed, it was actually my own thought processes, beliefs and assumptions that were really harming me.

Slowly, I began accepting situations and people for the way they were. I began to accept myself for the way I was, instead of being upset at all my "imperfections." I stopped worrying about or trying to change my work situation and my boss.

Now I feel happy most of the time, and encouraged to "experience the day". I'm willing to try new things and push myself to grow. I just accept what needs to be done, and do it.

Kellie is a very "real" person. She genuinely cares and works hard to help people get to that happy place they want to be. She's very sincere in what she does, and I just love that about her. Thank you Kellie, from the bottom of my heart!"
