Who is Teresiah Malatji?
Sawubona!
My name is Teresiah Ngwanamogale Malatji aka Terry. Ngwanamogale is a Pedi name given to me by and named after my Grandmother. The word Ngwana means a Child and the word Mogale means a Hero. The word Teresiah means a Harvester.
I was born in Limpopo province, the northern part of South Africa.
I am a devoted mother of two adorable children, a dedicated co-parenting partner to a wonderful father of our children, a daughter to my amazing loving mother and beloved ancestors who went before me and paved the way, a sister to three amazing siblings, a friend to my great friends, a relative to a village and the list goes on.
Like the French, personally, for a living I take long walks, I do yoga, I love my Self. I breathe fresh air, spend time outdoor getting sunshine D and many more activities that contribute towards my personal wellness. Watch Trevor Noah’s show “Where was I” if you don’t believe me 😀.
Some of my hobbies include writing, speaking, reading books & magazines, watching movies and interesting documentaries, cooking, DIY projects, arts and crafts, interior decor and gardening. I believe that one of the primary goals of life is to discover, explore, develop, heal, manifest and enjoy multiple versions of ourselves. What do you think?
I am a Life & Business Coach, Wellness strategist, Founder of Life with Terry, Author and educator of Principles & Tools of Creation. I am also a consultant with focus on a range of areas from innovation and enterprise development to business incubation management.
One of my life goals and passion is to help you create and live a fulfilling life , live your best life, manifest your best version, embark on a journey of Self-discovery, Self-development and Self-healing
I owe my expertise to my personal life of more than three decades, professional and business life experiences of more than 15 years, and my spiritual journey that revealed the subject matter of Self-discovery and Principles & Tools of Creation.
My Life Coaching journey
My Life Coaching journey began began in April 2018, six months after leaving my full time employment of more than 15 years to pursue business interests. During one of my meditation walks, I felt a strong desire to write a book about creation. At the time when this desire landed in my heart, I did not have a single page of content about creation.
All I had was an undeniable intense feeling that confirmed that I will soon teach about creation. Today five years later, I am glad to say that I have published my book called “Principles and Tools of creation”.
The strong desire to write the book matured into a strong desire to teach, coach and speak about Principles & Tools of Creation.
I believe that I received so that many can be enlightened and be awakened. Through my coaching, I help my clients to create effectively and efficiently, create & live fulfilled lives, be innovative and embark on a life changing journey of Self-discovery, Self-development and Self-healing.
