If you’re feeling weighed down by health struggles, low energy, or know in your heart you’re meant to feel better than you do right now, you’re in the right place.
At Exploring New Blessings, I help you nurture your mind, body, and soul through simple, holistic practices — juicing, clean eating, and emotional wellness tools that lead to lasting change.
Let’s explore the blessings waiting for you — mind, body, and soul. 💜
Who I Am
Hi, I’m Terri — also known as Ter Bear.
I’m the heart behind Exploring New Blessings, a healing space created from my journey of transformation.
For years, I battled diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and emotional pain. One day, I made a powerful decision: to reclaim my health naturally and intentionally.
I began with juicing — and it changed my life. But my healing didn’t stop there. I adopted a clean eating regimen, practiced daily self-care, and incorporated holistic wellness practices that restored my energy, sharpened my mind, and lifted my spirits.
Now, I guide others along this same path of healing.

Actually, you can—it just has to be done the right way. Juicing for diabetes isn’t about sugary fruit juices; it’s about using low-glycemic, nutrient-rich vegetables and carefully balancing ingredients to help stabilize blood sugar. I’ve personally lowered my A1C through clean eating and strategic juicing, and I’ll show you how to do it safely so it supports your health rather than harms it.
