What Forward-Facing® means to Teya:

It means taking charge of your life story, breaking free from the weight of the past, and moving forward in a grounded state of self-awareness. It’s about reclaiming control over your narrative and reactions, allowing you to navigate everyday life with resilience and a sense of daily progress and self trust. Forward facing means reclaiming control over your  reactions, and being able to navigate everyday life in a more relaxed state, and feel like you are making progress to living in your integrity.
