Ready to go from being a High Achiever to becoming a High Performer?
High Achievers get “high” on achieving. It’s their drug of choice and it’s a massive dopamine hit.
High Performers are high output, high productivity, and they stay in the seat of VISIONARY.hat
High-achievers spend just 5% of the year relaxing, while 79% of chief executives work on weekends and 70% on vacation days.
This is equivalent to sleeping 72 minutes a night, and then expecting to have the focus, cognitive brain function and energy to run at peak performance DAILY.
Sleep-deprived, burned out, and anxious AF?
Your nervous system is stuck “ON” because your constant busyness keeps you in a state of high alert.
If you relate to any of the below statements, stress might be costing you your success:
⮕ You acknowledge the importance of rest, but you struggle to take time off.
⮕ You crave hobbies and spontaneity, yet continue to chase accolades.
⮕ You want to be present with those you love most, but you tell your kids, “Just 5 more minutes” as you do another hour of work.
⮕ You want to slow down, but the thought of free time causes panic because “what would you do” if you’re not working?
⮕ You yearn for meaningful connections with other successful women, but have a hard time finding “your people” in this season of life.
I have good news for you…
APEX, THE LEADERSHIP MASTERY ACADEMY
is here for ambitious women just like you.
Truly. Keri has created something powerful in this space. The investment wasn’t an easy yes for me, despite the benefits of being able to tax deduct it, AND I can tell you the ROI continues to amaze me. The modules are gold, so it feels essential to go through those for integration.
Somatics is the answer, and I’m seeing so much progress in my business and personal life. It is the past, present, and future of leadership. Those who lead well and actually enjoy their lives are proficient in this work. APEX has helped me not just in my business but on a systemic level: in my marriage, friendships, and my beautiful transition to motherhood this year.
If you feel any pull that you need to understand more about how to regulate your nervous system to have, hold, and keep more with intention, grace, and enjoyment, please come join us. It’s an amazing group of people, and we’d love to welcome more people to this powerful space.
Thank God for my coach and my group of amazing and supportive women… just the refresher I needed to reset!
Sent that to my friend just after our call and felt like if anyone should hear it should be all of you.
So truly thankful for your support and here for all of you to offer it back.
APEX caters to female leaders aspiring to go beyond what they’ve already built.
My two amazing kids!
Female leaders at the APEX require unique support—one that addresses emotional well-being and executive-level business mastery essential for excellence in their industry, while also considering the interpersonal aspects of their home life.
My name is Keri Ford, and as a mom of two, founder, CEO, investor, former corporate leader, and now trauma-trained executive coach – I know what it takes to get to the top, and stay there.
I also know the emotional stress of responsibility and knew that there had to be a better way to “have it all” without wanting to go sell scrunchies on the beach. Many times I felt like I had to choose happiness OR success, and I was left feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, and resentful.
Inside APEX, we do leadership differently.
We’ll explore the depths of your identity, purpose, and true leadership potential through the potent mind-body connection in relation to stress, success, and upper limits.
Gain a winning edge by prioritizing these 5 key elements:
➋ Embodiment: True leadership goes beyond words and actions. Somatic work naturally and authentically instills leadership qualities, visible and palpable to your team.
➌ Decision Making and Conflict Resolution: Somatic strategies equip you with tools for faster, aligned decision-making, conflict navigation, and team building.
➍ Stress Management: Combat the havoc of stress on your mind and body with effective somatic practices. Stay grounded and focused amidst challenges.
➎ Innovation and Creativity: A balanced nervous system fosters innovative thinking, creative problem-solving, and the realization of ambitious goals.
Keri’s multidisciplinary approach includes:
Imagine you could amplify your impact and live the life you know is within reach?
You could live the kind of life that is:
✔ Enhanced with more joy and connection
✔ Full, but in a way that isn’t draining
✔ Successful while still being able to be the present human (or mom) you want to be
✔ Impactful without the need to push harder
✔ Powerful by showing up as the most authentic version of yourself at work and at home
✔ Expansive reaching beyond your current realized goals
This would allow you to:
✔ Make more money, get the raise, etc you really want
✔ Find “your tribe” of genuine, successful women
✔ Know exactly what’s next in your life and career
✔ Sustain high achievement without burnout
✔ Make aligned decisions faster, and with more clarity
✔ Foster a deeper sense of passion and motivation
The time to achieve your APEX, is now.
I found clarity, healing, and a bold reinforcement for me to be my authentic self.
Working with Keri was beyond my expectations. If you want someone who will hold you accountable, help you vision what’s possible and also curate a beautiful, fun and deep experience, you cannot go wrong with Keri Ford.
Some of the work that we did, such as the somatic and inner child work, I know will impact me for years to come.
Through my coaching with her I’ve been able to start to build a business and life that I’m completely in love with while healing the wounds from my past so that I can step into my power.
And that’s thanks to her, her guidance, her coaching. She is phenomenal!
And if you’re on the fence about working with her and investing at the high level, DO IT!
In terms of tangible results:
• I paid off north of $30K in debt and healed money wounds and patterns than no longer served me
• I manifested a job offer + a raise
• I am at peace with mom situation and closer to God
• My husband and I bought our dream home!
Keri can intuitively see the unseen parts of her clients, and can guide you in bringing light and awareness to the parts of you that you may have forgotten.
Keri went out of her way to ensure that I felt safe in the environment of APEX so that I could discover my true authentic self without anything getting in the way of my progress as an entrepreneur.
Had I not intentionally made the choice to dive in with two feet I know I would still be stuck in my fears as I was 6 months ago not experiencing this newfound freedom within myself. What is possible for you?

Who is the APEX Leadership Mastery Academy for?
I have a business coach. Is this a business program?
APEX focuses on helping women at that top of their career manage both their stress, and success – better.
Inside this transformational program, we’ll take a deep dive into what’s really holding them back from being the absolute best leader possible, healing hyper-achiever patterning, and moving beyond upper level limits.
We spend more time doing nervous system work, than we do business strategy.
And the only strategy we use here is going at the pace of your nervous system.
What is the time commitment?
In order to receive your Somatic Success® Certification there is a 16-week commitment to consistently being able to show up for live coaching calls where attendance is taken, as well as a checklist of other markers.
Overall, you can expect a 2 hour weekly commitment if you include weekly coaching, module content, and self-reflective worksheets.
What does "somatic" mean?
This type of normalized and ongoing stress is all most working women have known and has played the main role in how they have created their outward success. Unfortunately, this continued feedback loop can impair their ability to experience resilience and ease, and robs them of being fully present in the here-and-now.
Using Bottom Up Processing provides support to resolve and restore connection to the authentic Self through nervous system regulation, relaxation, wholeness, and aliveness. Keri’s approach is the multidisciplinary integration of stress physiology, biology, neuroscience, meditation, and holistic healing practices.
What should I do to prepare?
In order to get the MOST from APEX, plan to attend the weekly LIVE coaching calls.
Calls will be recorded so you can ALWAYS catch the replays, but the real-time energy and opportunity to be coached by Keri will be unmatched when you attend live.
Please also plan to attend LIVE from a quiet space where you can be fully present without distractions due to the interactive nature of coaching calls.
What is the Somatic Success® Certification?
We also love celebrating elevated and regulated leaders!
Somatic Success® is a trademarked term with proprietary frameworks, such as the Anxious Achiever Archetypes™ developed by Keri Ford and may not be used in your business, private practice, or for distribution.
The APEX Leadership Mastery Academy is an interpersonal leadership development program, and does not offer a trauma-informed practitioner certification.
What's included inside APEX?
Immediate access to your membership portal which includes 8 modules with nearly 10 hours of training, bonus content, and more than 49 self-reflection worksheets that compliment the curriculum.
Access to weekly live coaching with Keri and other guest experts. You can join the weekly calls AND binge-watch the growing Academy Archive of recorded coaching calls.
Exclusive access to the Facebook network where you can connect with other members to celebrate or receive additional support.
Somatic Success® Certification which can be earned in 16 weeks. This is optional and can be earned as a certificate of completion at any point in the program.
Will I receive 1:1 access to Keri?
Once inside APEX, however, you can book Keri for 45-minute coaching sessions once a month at a special members’ rate.
What is the investment?
You pay $10k upfront for 12 months of access to APEX if you pay in full, which gives you a $2k saving. Or you can do 12 payments of $999.
You can renew annually at an alumni rate.
My company is covering the investment, now what?
We are happy to provide a receipt with company letterhead as proof of purchase once you are paid-in-full, or proof you have completed the program for reimbursement purposes.
We do not negotiate on behalf of you or your company, and are not responsible for any potential miscommunications between you and your employer.
Do you offer refunds?
Once the program starts, you have immediate access to ALL assets and for this reason, we do not offer refunds.
Our job is to make sure you know, very clearly, what it is you are purchasing and how the program will be formatted.
Offering refunds on programs would be like purchasing a book, deciding you didn’t like it (or not applying the teachings), and then asking for a refund after you read it.
How we support you in receiving the most value from APEX: We track your progress in the membership portal dashboard, as well as take attendance on the weekly live coaching calls with Keri, or our other Guest Experts.
In order to receive the most value from APEX, completing the modules and attending weekly coaching calls are strongly recommended.
Modules include videos, downloadable worksheets, and other “work with you” exercises.
You will also have access to the archive of recorded coaching calls where you can watch the replays and receive even more support.
Live coaching is offered weekly for even more support and custom coaching. You will submit a request to be coached so we can plan our calls accordingly!
Is there a payment plan option?
YES. There are 3 options.
Option 1: 12 payments of $999 hosted via us
Why our clients love this option: For the same cost, and no line of credit, you get to make 12 installments instead of paying the entire investment up front. We take on some level of risk with this so the all-in investment is $12k (instead of the $10k pay in full).
Option 1: PayPal 0% Credit. This is a 6-month line of credit, with 0% interest. This option does pull your credit when you apply here (if you live outside of the USA, please email hello@elevatewithkeri.com for the link) to see your approval amount.
Why our clients love this option: They can pay now or over time. They decide what’s best for them. No interest will be charged on the purchase if you pay it off in full within 6 months.
Option 3: Third-party funding. This option does a SOFT pull of your credit when you apply here. Apply for the amount of $10,300 which includes the 3% fee for the service.
Why our clients love this option: Payments are spread out over a longer period of time. Clients can keep cash flow high by having low monthly installments (possibly as low as $150-200/month)
But, there is so much more!
I believe her guidance and genuine, loving support through this time of my life was exactly what I needed to help me start to imagine and create a more elevated life for myself!
I became more empowered, no longer willing to accept anything less than the best without feeling guilty about it.
RUN to that enrollment link right now!
