Hi, I’m Teresa! I’m a mindful mentor and coach devoted to walking alongside you on your journey of self-discovery and healing. This journey is partnered on trust, compassion, and deep presence, creating a safe space for self-exploration and growth.
I’m not going to sugar coat it, though, my path here hasn’t always been easy. I didn’t know what it meant to self-explore or how to be self-aware. I struggled with sickness, pleasing people, stress, anxiety, and the heavy weight of panic attacks. I spent a long time trying to be everything for everyone and suffered alone through a lot, mostly because I was embarrassed by it all. Embarrassed to tell people my dad was an alcoholic, or that my parents were getting a divorce and couldn’t be in the same room together. I didn’t have much awareness of how to support myself. I often felt hopeless, like life wasn’t worth it. It was just heavy during my years growing up.
At some point during my adulthood, I was over myself! I was over the suffering and decided to take action. I started doing self-awareness work with a therapist, found a new doctor who did a deeper dive into my health, and started meditating every morning. I also became a health coach, which jump-started my journey of self-discovery. I wanted to learn to listen to me! I wanted to be open in ways that ultimately led to a deeper awareness, compassion, and insight into myself. Learning to listen to that inner voice changed everything for me. It gave me joy and a sense of deeper understanding of my gifts. It also showed me that even though my childhood stunk sometimes, I was better for it. It set me up to have so much empathy and compassion for others. I was also reminded that I didn’t need to be fixed; I wasn’t broken. We already have all the wisdom, strength, and clarity inside us. It sometimes just takes a mentor or a coach to walk beside you and hold space for your process while you remember what has always been there!
