Who is Teresiah Malatji?

Sawubona! 🌿✨

My name is Teresiah Ngwanamogale Malatji, also known as Terry. I am named after my grandmother, Ngwanamogale, which means “a child of a hero,” while Teresiah means “a harvester.” What’s not to love about my two powerful and prophetic names?

I was born in Limpopo Province, South Africa—a place rich in culture, tradition, and ancestral wisdom.

My Family & Tribe

I am a devoted mother of two incredible children. Together with their loving father, we are dedicated co-parenting partners, raising them with love and intention.

My mother, Martha Malatji, is the queen of my heart. She raised me as a single mother with unwavering strength, never making me feel like a burden. She, along with my ancestors, paved the way for me.

I am also blessed with three amazing siblings, wonderful friends, supportive relatives, and colleagues, who complete my village. After all, what is life without meaningful connections?

My Personal Wellbeing & Passions

For my personal wellbeing, I prioritize meditation walks, yoga, self-love practices, and spending time in my garden, connecting with Mother Earth. Fresh air, movement, and stillness are my sacred rituals.

I am deeply passionate about writing, speaking, reading, watching documentaries, cooking, DIY projects, arts & crafts, interior décor, and gardening. Creativity and exploration fuel my soul.

My Life’s Purpose

I believe our greatest purpose is to discover, explore, develop, heal, manifest, and embrace multiple versions of ourselves. What do you think?

My Professional Life

I am a Life & Business Coach, Wellness Strategist, Author, and Educator of Principles & Tools of Creation. I am also a consultant specializing in innovation, enterprise development, and business incubation management.

My work is deeply rooted in helping others create fulfilling lives, manifest their best selves, and embark on self-discovery, self-development, and self-healing.

I owe my expertise to decades of personal experiences, 15+ years of professional and business leadership, and my spiritual journey, which revealed the Principles & Tools of Creation.

My Life Coaching Journey

My journey as a Life Coach, Wellness Strategist  began in April 2018, six months after leaving my full-time career of over 15 years to pursue my purpose.

During one of my meditation walks, I felt an undeniable calling to write a book about creation. At the time, I had no content—just an intense knowing that I would soon teach about it.

Fast forward five years, and I am now the published author of “Principles & Tools of Creation”. What began as a desire to write evolved into a mission to teach, coach, and speak on conscious creation, manifestation, and transformation.

I believe I received this knowledge not just for myself but to enlighten and awaken others. Through my coaching, I help my clients create with intention, live fulfilled lives, embrace innovation, and embark on profound self-discovery journeys.

My passion for healing is deeply woven into my ancestral lineage of seers, sangomas, herbalists, as well as Christian pastors, preachers, and evangelists. For generations, my family has carried the sacred wisdom of spiritual insight, energy healing, divine teachings, and the transformative power of both nature’s remedies and faith.

This ancestral calling flows through me, shaping my work in self-discovery, self-development and self-healing, and personal transformation.

I honor their legacy by bridging ancient wisdom with modern tools, wisdom from my sources of intelligence, spirit guides – guiding others to awaken their true selves, heal, and manifest lives of fulfilment. Healing isn’t just your purpose—it’s the birthright of all.
