About Terre Passero

I have success in leading groups in dynamic work environments and helping individuals grow personally and professionally.

Who I am and why I want to help you succeed.

I am passionate about helping people unlock their full potential so they can live and contribute with energy, love, and clarity.

The #1 challenge I hear from clients is, “I don’t have enough time!”

I get it! I provide evidence-based, bite-size mindfulness and stress management practices that you can integrate easily into your day. For example, practicing paced breathing—a longer exhalation than inhalation—before responding to an email or irritating comment.

Cultivating stress management practices can help you focus, regulate emotions, and build resilience, enabling good health and optimal performance.

I welcome the opportunity to support your journey to more mindful living!

With respect,
Terre Passero
