1. Alicia – Soul Stryde
Services: One-on-one, business, accountability, fitness and performance, kids and teens coaching
Location: 530 Church St.
Contact: +1 615-703-5918
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Alicia from Soul Stryde caught our attention because the demographic of our respondents who were her previous clients ranged from kids and teens to athletes and entrepreneurs. We looked into her services and found that she offered a myriad of coaching programs.
For instance, her kids and teens coaching service is designed for personal growth and confidence-building. Parents who enrolled their children in her program stated that they immediately saw progress in their otherwise timid behaviours.
Previous clients also shared Alicia’s infectious kindness, which they said was evident in all her sessions. They also noted that her personalised approach helped them feel heard and seen, leading to their growth.
We also appreciate how she offers free consultations, because as someone who’s been in the situation of finding help, it can be intimidating to commit immediately.
Lastly, we wanted to highlight her accessibility: she offers in-person, virtual, and group coaching, and her office is in a prime location. These certainly make up for her unavailability on weekends.
Helped me feel more sure of myself

2. Juliana – Juliana Coaching
Services: Life coaching, breathwork, rebirthing, positive psychology
Location: Nashville
Contact: +1 615-212-5511
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Juliana offered one of the most impressive resumes during our research, having over 25 years of experience. Some of our interviewees even grew old with her, stating that they kept enrolling themselves in her classes because of her warm, welcoming, and motivating sessions.
We also wanted to highlight her because of the unique and immersive coaching sessions she offers for different needs. Her water breathwork is a prime example, combining both fun and relief from fear, anger, anxiety, trauma, etc.
One of her most in-demand coaching sessions, however, is the four-month program called “Awakening to Joy”. It’s essentially a transformative retreat that combines her different coaching methods, breathwork, and positive psychology.
The program is a bit pricey, but her previous clients told us that it was worth every penny because of the progress they saw afterwards.
Furthermore, we appreciated Juliana’s selection of free stuff, ranging from mini-classes to initial one-on-ones.
Safe, grounded, and profoundly transformative
“Working with Juliana over many years has been nothing short of life-changing! Her holistic approach to breathwork is a profoundly healing experience that reconnects mind, body, and spirit.
Drawing from a lifetime of practice, each session in her care feels safe, grounded and profoundly transformative. I’ve released old patterns, gained clarity and found a renewed sense of peace that carries into my everyday life.”
Jennifer Walker, Google Review
One of the biggest influences in my life
“I’ve known Juliana since I was 22 (I’m nearly 40 now). She has been one of the biggest influences in my life. She is warm, kind, and understanding. I’ve learned and grown from her teaching and guidance. I feel like I am lifetimes ahead because of our relationship.”

3. Meenu Ananth – Transcendence By Meenu
Services: Breakthrough discovery session, human design reading, breakthrough coaching bootcamp
Location: Liberty Square
Contact: +1 225-395-1947
Business hours:
- Monday to Wednesday: 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Thursday: 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM
- Friday: 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM
Meenu Ananth’s certification from Tony Robbins, one of the most prolific motivational speakers, was enough to pique our interest. We dived deeper into her coaching services, and our confidence only grew further with her slightly limited but in-depth sessions.
For starters, we liked how her sessions are structured like journeys, consisting of multiple progress points and steps. Previous clients shared how they loved how she began with an in-depth “getting to know each other”, where they naturally felt like sharing their problems.
They added that this made the session feel less like cookie-cutter coaching, as Meenu was highly attentive. By the end, they told us that they felt the utmost clarity, thanks to the spiritual coaching, hypnotherapy, and EFT tapping done by Meenu.
We also appreciate the flexibility of her classes, which offer both in-person and virtual sessions via Zoom. Furthermore, we like how she provides a safe and relaxing ambience in her office for her in-person sessions.
A great active listener
“I started working with Meenu after my wife had some terrific conversations with her, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. From our very first session, Meenu helped me mentally process and work through the most challenging situation of my 25+ year professional career.
I guide and mentor people as part of my own work, and I’ve learned that every coach needs a coach. Meenu has been nothing short of phenomenal.
She’s a great active listener, easy to engage with, and offers not just meaningful conversation but also practical, useful tools that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
I highly recommend Meenu to anyone navigating change, transition, or challenge in life or career. I’m happy to share more about my experience or serve as a reference for her.”

A breath of fresh air
“I have loved working with Meenu. After many years and trying many modalities to combat anxiety and depression, she has been a breath of fresh air. She is amazing – while you are comforted and safe in her space, she will challenge you and speak clearly with you.
Her combination of gentle, grounded strength and piercing insight has added years to my life, I swear!! I finally have the practical tools and the energetic relief to tackle my life authentically with more energy and belief in myself than ever before.”

4. Teri Pugh – Teri Pugh Coaching
Services: The Littles, emotional regulation, grief and loss, negative thinking
Location: 4701 Trousdale Dr, Suite 108
Contact: +1 615-513-2700
Business hours: 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM
Dr Teri Pugh became one of our top prospects because of her experience and track record. For starters, we were impressed by the variety of people she’s helped in the past, ranging from incoming parents to convicts and senior citizens.
We also loved how varied her sessions were and how they focused on different niches. For instance, she offers a session called “The Littles”, which aims to address small pieces of trauma that were swept under the rug, without acknowledging the damage it caused.
Previous and returning clients also shared that they chose Dr Pugh because of her attentiveness during sessions. They also added how the Doctor challenges them while maintaining a safe environment during their talks.
Lastly, we appreciate that Dr Pugh keeps her rates within reasonable ranges and even offers flexible payment options, including instalment, credit card, and Venmo. We only wish that she could add free initial conversations and virtual services soon.
Completely changed my life!
“I’ve been working with Teri for almost two years, and she has completely changed my life! She has helped me parent my “littles” and has helped me process my grief. She knows when and how to therapeutically push you to become the best version of yourself.
I have referred all of my friends to Teri and will continue to recommend her to anyone who asks! She is truly the best in the game. Thank you so much for all that you do!”
Kasie Moitoso, Google Review
Made a noticeable improvement in my mindset
“Like many people, I struggle with anxiety and depression. Throughout my adult life, I’ve visited many therapists, but none who compare to Teri. She makes me feel understood and safe while working at my pace to help me make positive changes.
Her insights are invaluable and have made a noticeable improvement in my mindset after just a few sessions. I feel that she genuinely cares for me as a person and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a compassionate, knowledgeable mental health professional.”

5. Lindsay – Life Coach Lindsay
Services: Happy Headspace Academy, The Conscious Hustle Program, The Hustle Recovery
Location: Nashville and nearby areas
Business hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM
We wanted to include Lindsay from Life Coach Lindsay for her fantastic roadmap-based sessions. Previous clients shared how this approach allowed them to have realistic progress and goals throughout every session, ranging from tapping into trauma to being accountable, etc.
Lindsay was also praised for her welcoming atmosphere, with most of our interviewees stating they felt comfortable sharing their goals, aspirations, fears, and more. Moreover, they shared how motivating her talks were, as they weren’t just flooded with flowery words.
We also appreciate how flexible her roadmap-based sessions are, offering both virtual and in-person sessions at the client’s own pace. Furthermore, her free discovery calls are a much-welcome feature that we think more life coaches should offer.
Our only gripe is her limited operating hours, as she’s only available three days a week. Also, we wish that she could put her contact details on her website, but this is made up for by the highly responsive live chat feature.
Can’t recommend Lindsay enough
“Lindsay guided me through her program with compassion and insight. Many of the exercises were eye-opening, giving me a deeper understanding of myself.
Some were challenging, especially those that touched on my childhood, but Lindsay’s gentle approach made me feel supported every step of the way.
If you want to better understand yourself and truly learn to love who you are, I can’t recommend Lindsay enough.
I used to struggle with overthinking and negative self-talk, but thanks to her guidance, I’ve completely reframed my mindset. I now carry with me a toolbox full of strategies and perspectives that continue to make a difference in my everyday life.”
Shelby Almon, Google Review
Wonderful and uplifting
“I was kind of new to the therapy/coaching world when I started this program with Lindsay. I felt so comfortable sharing my struggles with her with no judgment. She is so wonderful and uplifting. I have come out of this seven-month program feeling so much more confident.
I feel more secure with myself and know how to better show up in my friendships and relationships. I love the version of myself that she has helped me tap into. I am grateful to have Lindsay as a mentor and a friend.
I couldn’t recommend starting this journey with her more! You won’t regret it.”
