Meet the Blogger: Terri Marshall, Healthy Lifestyle Coach

Another favorite Local Voices on Broadneck Patch is Terri Marshall, a healthy lifestyle coach and owner of Tranquility Bay Wellness in Annapolis.

Broadneck Patch: How does your blog help people in the Broadneck area?

Marshall: With my stress management and wellness blog, I strive to provide Broadneck residents with ideas and inspiration for creating healthier lifestyles for themselves and their families. I cover a wide variety of wellness-related topics including stress management, positive thinking, happiness, green living, self-nurturing, appreciation, healthy nutrition, exercise, weight loss and more.

I am really excited about a new 10-week healthy lifestyle coaching program that I am offering beginning in November that focuses on helping people regain balance, health and happiness in their lives. 

Broadneck Patch: What's your professional background?

Marshall: I am a Relaxation Therapist, Certified Holistic Stress Management Specialist (CHSMS), Certified Wellness Coach (CWC), Mind-Body-Spirit Weight Loss Coach, Therapeutic Guided Imagery Practitioner and Green Living Consultant. I have a bachelor’s degree from the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences at the University of Maryland where I studied both psychology and political science, as well as additional professional certifications in both relaxation therapy and green living practices.

Prior to establishing Tranquility Bay Wellness, I served as a senior government affairs representative in Washington, DC, where I had a rewarding 15-year career in government affairs and public relations.

I became interested and educated in healthier lifestyle practices, stress management and holistic healing methods during my own personal recovery from serious illness. I believe my professional training paired with my first-hand knowledge and experience is invaluable in helping others in these areas. I established Tranquility Bay Wellness with the hope of helping others live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives through education and guidance in healthier lifestyle practices.

My articles have been featured locally in the Anne Arundel Women’s Journal and on Broadneck Patch, in People You Need to Know (Atlanta, GA), in the “Caring for the Caregiver” course curriculum (joint Idaho Stars/Strengthening Families Program in the state of Idaho) as well as in Amway’s National Power of Positivity Campaign.

Broadneck Patch: Where are your favorite local places?

Marshall: One of my very favorite local places in the area is ... they have a casual, inviting atmosphere with lots of natural light, great tasting natural and organic food and a friendly and knowledgeable staff.  It’s a great place to unwind.

Marshall's 10-week healthy lifestyle coaching program begins in November. Please call 410-544-9127 for information or visit www.tranquilitybaywellness.com  for additional articles and information.
