Meet Taffy, Certified Mindful Coach & Therapist

Energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate, Taffy Clarke Pelton specializes in empowering bright, motivated people to tune in to their personal power, find their life's purpose, and engage life at its fullest. Her clients typically are business professionals, health professionals, men and women in midlife, and people in transition.

She has been deeply fascinated by what makes people tick since she was a child and has been part of the human potential movement for 40 years. She is quickly able to see the potential, talents, and spirit in others and believes people are whole and have within them the power to become what they want. Taffy believes in practicing what she preaches.

Taffy's abilities as a coach and a therapist come from a rich and varied background, shaped by her ever-evolving path to live her life's purpose. During her 12 years of experience in sales, marketing and business management, she realized the basis for her success was in the quality of the relationships she formed. This understanding led to a new career as a Marriage and Family Therapist, in which, again, she recognized how crucial the client/therapist relationship is to successful therapeutic outcomes. Concurrently co-authoring two books on natural health, teaching yoga, and consulting in wellness, Taffy also learned the importance of integrating the body, mind, and spirit in the process of personal evolution and health. The desire to utilize all aspects of her background in her mission to "stimulate dynamic change" has led Taffy to Life Coaching.
