TESTIMONIALS

"I feel great. Loving, balanced, empowered."
     — Harry Segal, Principal, SegalSavad

"From the first meeting I had with Kelley, I noticed a difference. I walked out of her office feeling positive about life, having a plan of attack, thinking bigger, and most importantly: thinking clearer & having purpose. To this day, my expectations of what I've accomplished have immensely been exceeded. In my wildest dreams, I never would have thought [Balancing the Executive Life™] could have solved my sleeping problems, given me laser sharp focus on the job, increased my productivity at work tenfold, made me more interested in conversations, and got my golf game into the 80's."

"Study with Kelley. She will change your life!"
     — Michael Goldstone, President, Sire Records

"Kelley Black, Founder of Balancing the Executive Life™, has changed my life. She has helped me to create a sense of inner balance and reduced stress in a high stress career as a matrimonial lawyer. Not only has my physical pain of TMJ*, back and neck, chronic headaches, etc. been almost eradicated, but I am also a more efficient and effective lawyer, a better rainmaker, and a better managing partner because of her methodology. My clients have even remarked that I am able to "cut right through it" and get their case resolved quickly and efficiently."

"Imagine transporting yourself out of your wild and crazy world and into the calm and quiet universe Kelley Black creates when you work with her. She can transform a room of Type A personalities into people who are relaxed, focused, balanced and connected to each other. What is possible for your business when that occurs is priceless."
     — Debbie Phillips, Executive Coach, Martha's Vineyard, MA

"I have been working with Kelley Black for over three years and got to admire her unique and effective blend of physical exercise, breathing and relaxation techniques. Kelley's deep expertise in the core integration philosophy of Pilates, the physical and meditative discipline of Yoga (mystical Kundalini and the formidable Naam Yoga), as well as her intuitive approach to finding your inner and outer balance, have worked wonders in terms of my physical, emotional and spiritual health. Kelley does understand what stress can do to your body, mind and soul. Her experience and her dedicated approach to helping her clients find the balance they need, make her services effective, unique and valuable."
     — Michaela Trnka, MD, Executive, Pfizer Inc.

"There have been times that I have fallen off [the program] and skipped my NAAM Meditation exercises. Sure enough, about a week later, I start waking up at night. When I get back on track, I start sleeping through the night again. It's magical."
     — Karen Skurka, Senior Vice President of Prudential Douglas Elliman

"The breath walking saved me in all my craziness this weekend. Thank you for teaching me. You help keep me sane."
     — Ally Lipton, Principal AVEnue, Corporate Event Planning/Catering

"The teachings are useful for dealing with stressful/tense situations and can also be applied to managing groups."
     — Sharon Mason, Antiques Dealer

"As a 47 year-old executive in the financial services industry, I was drawn to Kelley's highly customized techniques. A lifetime of jogging, fencing and cross-training with a personal trainer at a gym did not compensate for substantial time spent looking at computer screens and trading terminals during working hours. As a result, my hips and lower back had lost most of their original flexibility and core strength. Within a few weeks of working with Kelley I noticed significant improvements. My back and hips became more flexible, my core strengthened and my posture improved during jogging and even during routine daily activities. More importantly, I felt energized and focused after each exercise session. Kelley Black is remarkable in that she brings her high level of personal energy and her in-depth appreciation of one's unique strengths and weaknesses to each client relationship. To me, the sessions with Kelley became a key component to my overall well-being."
