About me
Hi, my name is Tersia!
Our journey begins with the first step towards,
healing the mind within.
I am a qualified Holistic Counsellor, holding both a Masters in Holistic Counselling and a Masters in Empowerment Coaching. Additionally, I am a Certified Meditation Practitioner and Trainer, as well as an Educator. Furthermore, my expertise extends to Brain and Body Medicine, with specialized knowledge in the Autonomic Nervous System, Advanced Holistic Counselling practices, Trauma and Abuse, PTSD, Grief and Loss, Marriage and Relationships, and Inner Child Work. I am also well-versed in men's health issues, adolescent counseling, anxiety management, and group therapy.
In addition to my qualifications, I am affiliated with esteemed organizations such as The International Institute for Complementary Therapists, Natural Therapy Pages of NZ, International Meditation Teachers and Therapists Association, and The Association for Humanistic Psychology.
My background was in training, development, and business for the last 25 years. During this time, I have lectured in areas of leadership, empowerment, emotional intelligence and training and assessment. I also gave lectures on youth at risk, business management, business administration, student management systems, and occupational health and safety. In addition to my training background, I have managed various Training Organisations, my last position being Chief Executive Officer for 3.5 years.
​
I left the business sector to follow my dream of studying Holistic Counselling after experiencing events that left me feeling overwhelmed and distressed. Holistic practices helped me to gain strategies to overcome my trauma, which was holding me back from living the life that I wanted to live. This experience has given me the ability to have a deeper understanding, empathy and compassion for individuals to provide counselling in a safe and inclusive environment.
A few things to note about me are that I am kind, loving, social, and happy, and I live my life fully and authentically. I'm easy to talk to, a great communicator, intuitive, empathetic, and have a warm and inviting demeanor.
​
When I'm not working, I enjoy immersing myself in nature, such as walking along the beach, trail walks, spending time with my family, and learning new things in every way. I also enjoy reading, going to the gym, cycling, hiking, taking road trips, and traveling. In addition, I love to write blogs, quotes and currently completing a journal for publishing.
​
I pride myself on the ability to change and healthily impact lives. I do so by offering a variety of services to help all my clients achieve healthier bodies and minds. "My belief is we cannot be masters of our own lives if our mind is not free"
Given my own personal experiences, my passion lies in motivating, inspiring, and supporting individuals throughout their unique health and wellness journeys.
Begin your transformative journey towards holistic well-being today, taking that crucial first step towards a healthier mind, spirit, and body.
