My story

Tegan Morris

I like the excitement and process of overcoming obstacles, particularly when it’s not something that seems immediately possible.

I was born in New Zealand with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, which means I face huge physical challenges. My support people, who are my employees, effectively act as my arms and legs. I rely on a machine that helps me breathe at night and use an electric wheelchair to get around. Despite these challenges, I have worked hard to achieve my goals and build confidence in my skills.

I look forward to utilising my experience to support you with cultivating confidence and achieving your goals.

After moving from my parents’ home to live independently in 2005, I earned a Bachelors Degree in Social Sciences from Waikato University, graduating in 2009. I have worked in community support positions in large organizations and directed a play in the 2011 Fringe Arts Festival. Over the last two years, I have travelled to the United States to attend a social change focused convention called VidCon, and spent time travelling across the US meeting families with kids living with similar conditions.

Accomplishing these goals helped me to realise my greater purpose – to expand my presence as a coach, public speaker, advocate, and educator on issues relating to courage, inclusion, and positivity.

My experiences have helped me to learn about life and people. My studies have enlightened me about ways to use my experiences to help others realise their potential.

To build on my experience and offering in this field, I’ve recently completed a Diploma in Life Coaching. 

Testimonials
Tegan reached out to me to offer her services as a life coach in November 2018. Immediately she helped me to clarify where I wanted support and we started working together. I was at a point in my life where I had so many things I wanted, but couldn’t see a clear path to get them. Every session I had with Tegan left me feeling inspired and excited about my future, because she was helping me piece together the path to get there. She gave me practical exercises that helped me to envision my ideal future and then worked back to the present from there. With her support and guidance I feel sure and passionate about my goals, and how to get there.

Tegan has helped me over the many years we have known each other to think with an open mind. She has challenged my thinking from the moment I met her to always look at a situation from all angles. I’ve only met a few people in my life that has contributed to my authenticity and Tegan is definitely one of those humans.
