Personal Journey:

As the only girl on her all-boys under-9 soccer team and journey to a 3-sport all public High School athlete in the city of Philadelphia, Neely learned early on the power of a coach - a safe, honest space, that pushes you to your edge - where change takes hold.  Once in the professional world, the coaching dynamic shifts to the idea of mentorship - yet finding good mentors can be difficult as everyone's time becomes more precious from competing needs and professional pressures.  The team concept really shifts - goals are not as clear as the 45-minute match - score the most points and a clear winner emerges - dynamic of the athletic field. As her career advanced and while she was able to "pick-her-spots" and find good mentors, Neely realized professionally there is a significant gap for helping individuals advance in a healthy and well-rounded way. In November 2017, she became intrigued by a fitness class called intenSati and the creator Patrica Moreno. After obtaining her SkyLevel job as CFO of the Greater Philadelphia YMCA - Neely felt the pull of team dynamics, longing for improved health and wellness, and the need for a coach. In 2019, she committed to her own evolution and made a 365-day commitment to intenSati. Neely worked relentlessly to establish purposeful habits to help her self, her colleagues, her work product, her teams, and her family. In November 2019, as she capped off her Sati-365 journey, she became a Certified intenSati Leader - the hardest yet most rewarding personal challenge. And, she awoke her personal calling and souls purpose.

​

Being passionate about serving others, making their lives better by inspiring them to cultivate healthier mindsets and behaviors, Neely breathed life into SkyLevel Coaching and brings forward the opportunity to help you consciously create your SkyLevel career, break barriers, and build out well-rounded habits in health, wealth, and self to ensure your evolution is imminent.  Are you ready to reach your SkyLevel?
