Growing up in Northern California's mountains as the youngest of six, Teresa developed a deep love for nature. She raised four sons—Max, Sam, Zack, and Brock—alongside her husband, Mike, of 32 years. Surviving and thriving while raising them has been her greatest achievement.

Overcoming childhood trauma taught Teresa to heal and find her true value. As a certified Emotions Mentor™, natural healer, and essential oil expert, she discovered peace and the joy of connecting deeply with others. Teresa is passionate about helping people rediscover their joy and inner goodness, build strong connections, and deeply meaningful relationships, even through life’s challenges.

Teresa delights in dancing, playing the piano, singing, nature walks, and caring for her animals, including her llama, Tony. Bringing people together on retreats to heal and transform is her calling. She believes in a Higher Power that intimately knows and wants us to be happy.
