Chelsea McKinney

Owner & Branding Strategist

I thrive on watching my clients' confidence and business grow through authentic, creative branding. It all starts with listening to their marketing frustrations and easing their worries with personalized, step-by-step plans.

A natural observer and investigator, I can objectively look at a problem and patiently approach it, asking the right questions to find a creative solution. These skills led me to pursue degrees in journalism and sociology at The College of New Jersey

About

I am an Insurance agent with HQ Insurance serving the Greater Middle Tennessee area. I believe in educating my customers about the products they are paying for and making sure that they have the policy that meets their needs. Insurance should be more than just something you have. Your policy should give you piece of mind that when something out of your control happens you and your family will be covered. I am very passionate when it comes to my customers and taking care of their needs. 
 
I offer personal Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Life Insurance, Annuities and Investment Options, Renter's Insurance, Umbrella Insurance, Long Term Rental Insurance, Flood Insurance and Employee Benefits.

I am an experienced entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in every aspect of running a business including marketing, business automation, team building, product development and more AND I am a seasoned spiritual healer in both energetic and physical modalities of healing and transformation.

What I come with to serve you is real life experience. A story of perseverance, faith and ultimately transformation. I bring to you proof of the incredible potential of not succumbing to life’s circumstances andinstead reframing the story as you see fit.


My ideal clients are ambitious individuals or leaders of organizations who are driven to want to “live full out” – honestly – the meek and the shy are not those who I serve best. My true joy is helping people who long carried burden, frustration and circumstances that they KNOW are not the real story of their most abundant life.
