Nomination Title: Teressa Todd

Teressa's mission is to help other women thrive in health. As part of this mission, Teressa featured on local TV news and radio, helping spread the message on How To Juggle Homeschooling And Working-From-Home For Mothers during COVID19.

During COVID19 restrictions, her in-person workshops moved to online and aimed at topics to help women in the current climate. These topics include: "How to manage menopause and keep your sanity", "Juggling homeschooling and working from home", "Stressed and Fatigued to fully Energised", and "Lose stubborn fat with crash diets".

Currently, her online programs target "Conquering The Symptoms Of Autoimmune Disease", as it is estimated that 80% of autoimmune sufferers are women.

In May 2020, Teressa's first published book, "The Energy Solution – Mothers' Guide To Go From Frazzled And Fatigued To Fabulous" became an Amazon Best Seller across 3 categories. In October 2020, Teressa co-authored "I Did It" and became International Amazon Best Seller.

Teressa is the Director and Founder of My Naturopath Gold Coast and brand Teressa Todd. She has 2 university degrees and is Australia's first university-trained Naturopath, Biochemist, and Microbiologist.

Over her 22 year career, she has seen women struggle with modern-day demands, juggling tasks, and suffering disease conditions due to these strains. Her mission is to reduce the risk of chronic disease in women through education. Chronic disease is predominantly triggered by lifestyle, diet, and stress. Teressa believes that educating the current generation regarding disease prevention and the active process we can take will help future generations reduce the risk of chronic lifestyle diseases.

Teressa has also experienced the demands of the modern-day woman running a successful naturopathic clinic, developing health programs and pivoting to the online world, raising two beautiful children, and being the wife to a man living with Multiple Sclerosis.

Due to this experience, Teressa directs her expertise into her clinic, workshops, webinars, courses, social media to help change the world for women's health.

These achievements are significant as Teressa is solo in her physical business, running all the everyday tasks while still maintaining her family life and assisting her husband with the encounters of Multiple Sclerosis. In addition, Teressa appreciates the help from her virtual assistant to help manage the demands of social media.

During the initial phase of COVID-19, while many other health practitioners suspended their services, Teressa decided to help support mums juggling home-schooling and working from home. Teressa conducted free online webinars and secured exposure on TV and radio to provide tips for working mums.

Through the challenges of COVID-19 Teressa expanded her online consultation services for clients wanting to stay in the comfort of their own home but still requiring support for their health journey. Offering this service helped increase her business turnover by 40% during the last 12months, compared to previous years.

All the while, she is teaching herself to move from physical face-to-face consultations to the online course arena to assist women worldwide to understand their health conditions and take charge of their health for a better future.

Currently, she is launching online courses teaching women about Hashimoto's disease and how to reverse the triggers of the disease to take control of their health and regain quality of life again.
