Clarissa Lerchenfeld Keller - Life Coach

Hello there, I’m so glad to meet you! For many years, I felt like something was missing in my life, which led me to search for fulfillment in all the wrong places. I defined myself through my relationships, my work, and the expectations of others, always feeling unworthy as I was. Thankfully, my own healing journey led me to therapy, where I discovered my true purpose and authentic self. Today, I live a meaningful, balanced life surrounded by the work, family, and home that I love.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given, and it’s my passion to give back through the work I do. Every time a client resolves an issue, I feel that humanity takes a step forward. It’s deeply rewarding for me to witness clients let go of what no longer serves them and achieve their personal goals, finding greater peace and fulfillment in their lives.

Professionally, I bring a diverse background to my work. Before coming to the U.S., I was the Public Relations and Marketing Director at a psychotherapy clinic in Germany. I hold a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and a certificate in Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis on Consciousness, Health, and Healing. I also have a BSc in Real Estate Economy and have over 10 years of recovery in romance and relationship addiction, which has given me the tools to help others break free from unhealthy patterns and create heart-centered relationships.

If you're ready to embark on your own healing journey and create lasting change in your life, I would love to work with you. Together, we can discover your true potential and help you live a life that aligns with your values and purpose. Book a session with me today, and let's start your transformation! ?Clarissa Keller

Lami Domedome Yates - Intuitive Holistic Health Coach & RN

Hello everyone, my name is Lami, and I’ve had the privilege of working in healthcare as a nurse for the past 26 years. My health journey took an unexpected turn in 2020 when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. This diagnosis sparked a deep desire to learn about achieving optimal health, and through my research, I discovered that true well-being goes far beyond just medications and procedures. That’s when I found holistic health and realized the importance of balancing the mind, body, and soul to achieve overall wellness.

Throughout my nursing career, I have been blessed to connect with people, and it’s these connections that I’ve always cherished most. As I discovered Nurse Coaching—a blend of health coaching with an RN background—I knew I had found a more cohesive and impactful way to serve my community. This path has become my next chapter, where I can better help others transform their lives through holistic, personalized care.

As a Board-Certified Nurse Coach (BSN, RN, NC-BC) and a graduate of the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy (INCA), my intention is to educate and advocate for those seeking transformational changes in their lives. I am passionate about helping individuals find what truly serves their soul, so they can live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives.

I am truly excited to be on this journey, helping others uncover the incredible power of holistic health and the profound impact it can have on every aspect of their well-being. Embracing a balanced approach to health not only nurtures the body but also fosters emotional and mental growth, leading to a more fulfilling and harmonious life. I am deeply passionate about guiding others toward positive, transformational changes that align with their unique needs and desires. Together, we will take the first step toward creating a healthier, more balanced, and truly meaningful life for you! ?Lami Yates
