Terri, aged 33, is originally from New Zealand. She relocated to Australia with her family when she was ten and made a recent move from Brisbane to the Gold Coast in 2023. A mother of two, Terri cherishes her son Reggie, who is nearly three, and her newborn daughter Kaia, who is four weeks old.
Terri believes that motherhood is the fulfilment she has been unconsciously seeking all her life. She sees her children as healers of her heart and providers of a new perspective on life. Her journey has been marked by profound loss, having lost her brother at 16 and her mother at 24 in traumatic circumstances. These experiences ignited her pursuit of mindfulness and a deep understanding of life's priorities. Navigating motherhood without her own mother by her side has been challenging yet transformative.
For Terri, fulfilment comes from the simple joys of life—meaningful connections, time spent with loved ones, communing with nature, embarking on adventures, and nurturing her home and family. She treasures the value of time, recognizing it as the most precious possession, allowing individuals to shape their lives according to their priorities.
When she's not tending to her maternal duties, Terri is a skilled hair stylist with a passion for her craft. Since completing school in 2007, she has been immersed in the art of hairstyling. Opening her own home salon on the Gold Coast in May 2023 has been a rewarding decision, seamlessly integrating her professional and personal life. Terri finds immense joy in her work, relishing the opportunity to connect with her clients, nurture relationships, and unleash her creativity.
