Our Ideal Customer

My ideal customer is any woman or man who has physically survived a traumatic experience (be that a verbal, physical, psychological or sexual event) and is uncomfortable with either who they still are or where they are in life, and would like to change that. If you either are or know someone like this, I am The HELP Coach and I can HELP you with that. Call me, and Let’s REDEFINE what’s POSSIBLE!

About Us

“Is NOW the time to REDEFINE what’s POSSIBLE for you?”

Hello, my name is Doug Turet and I am The HELP Coach. Although I have been formally trained and dually certified as a Life Coach and Solution-Focused Coach since 2014, my coaching career actually got its start in 1977 as an aspect of my first career, as a professional drummer and private drum instructor, when my students would often come to me with their relationship and other challenges, seeking my insights for inspiration.

Fast forward 47 years, and I am still helping people to overcome their challenges and to discover and become their best selves. Although I am trained and experienced in coaching people from all backgrounds and on numerous issues, the three areas that I find most personally rewarding and have been witness to the greatest successes in are Trauma Coaching, Spirituality Coaching and Relationship Coaching (because in the pursuit of greater possibilities with my Trauma Coaching clients, spirituality and interpersonal relationships always arise, as well).

My ideal referral is anyone who is trying to make sense out of his or her life after a traumatic event (including a divorce, assault or combat-related incident) or is feeling “stuck” in any area of their lives, and who is genuinely and sincerely both interested in improving upon that and able to work with a teammate to confront the fears and overcome the obstacles in their way. You can do this. I can HELP.

One of the rarest things to find in the business world are professionals who are not afraid to truly dedicate themselves to their clients’ successes and just trust that their own needs will be covered, in the process — and that describes Terri to a T! By all means, reach out to her. I think you’ll be very glad that you did!"

Exhem wholeheartedly, and with a degree of confidence that’s hard to match, because she and I attended both the same coaching school (IPEC) and then attended the same postgraduate training program. In both of those settings and through the mutual coaching sessions we’d shared, I got to not only both see and experience firsthand the level of commitment to professionalism that Vanessa brings to the table, but also the degrees of thoughtfulness, caring and empathy that I, too, bring to the table, all of which are things that cannot be taught, but can only come from within. As such, I wholeheartedly endorse Vanessa R. Exhem as a great coach, and more than that, as a truly exceptional human being. Work with her. You’ll be glad you did! "

In my capacity as a massage therapist, I’ve recently helped a woman who has suffered in excruciating pain for more than twelve years to live her life without any discomfort, whatsoever, and that feels absolutely incredible, for _both_ of us!
