About Me

Hi there

I'm Tecla,

My journey started back in 2015 when life took an unexpected turn. After years of rowing at an elite level both in Australia and at a Division 1 University in the US, I started feeling persistent pain in my neck and back. On top of that, the stress from my elite athletic pursuits took a serious toll on my mental health, leading to an ongoing struggle with an eating disorder after I graduated.

By 2020, my body began changing in ways I didn’t recognize. My neck and back pain escalated into daily headaches, persisting for months. I experienced rapid weight gain without any explanation. I felt bloated constantly, my digestion went haywire, and sticking to a balanced diet became a challenge as things I’d been eating for years started to cause chaos on my system. Soon after, I stopped sweating completely, and then I lost my menstrual cycle…

Following multiple specialist consultations, I received diagnoses for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)—both chronic illnesses. Simultaneously, I was still battling with an all-consuming eating disorder.

At that point, I lost faith in my body and myself. Looking in the mirror, I felt disconnected from the person staring back. When I was told I'd have to manage these conditions for life, it hit me hard, sending me into a deep depression.

Then one day, I decided this wasn’t going to be MY story. I refused to let chronic illness define me. As I’m writing this today, I can happily report, I no longer fit the clinical criteria for any of those conditions.

My journey to recovery involved a combination of integrative medicine, rewiring my thought patterns, a deep dive into personal development, and embracing gratitude. Through my experience, I learned how incredibly powerful the mind is in overcoming states of dis-ease.

After regaining my health, I felt compelled to share my knowledge and experiences with others. That led to the creation of "Heal Yourself with the Law of Attraction," a top-rated self-help podcast that has been airing for a year now.

Witnessing the positive responses from listeners, I decided to develop a program that focuses on internal mindset healing for chronic illness recovery.

Why? Mainstream treatments neglect the vital role of mindset in recovery, despite studies confirming the profound mind-body connection, especially in the healing process.

Today, I am CEO and Founder of Manifesting Mindset Co. and the vibrant voice behind the Heal Yourself with the Law of Attraction Podcast, a platform that serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for women globally who are struggling with aligning mind, body and soul.
