Terra Wellington is an American actress, television personality, and author who has been an advocate for healthy living topics and the environment, as well as an active supporter of Ocean conservation and the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program. She has also campaigned on behalf of the international charity Oxfam.
Wellington grew up in both the Western U.S. states, principally in Utah and Colorado, and in the Chicago-midwest area in a middle-class family. Her mother worked as a freelance artist and author, though principally raised her children as a full-time homemaker. And her father was a salesman and acted in community theater, often taking his children camping. She learned to play the piano at the age of 5.
Excelling in prose interpretation on the school's speech team, she attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois, a northern Chicago suburb.
In 2003, Wellington began appearing on "Good Morning Arizona" on Phoenix, Arizona's KTVK, as well as on KNXV-TV's "Sonoran Living," as a media personality talking about wellness lifestyle topics. This expanded to include dozens of shows across the U.S., including The Montel Williams Show,WGN-TV, CBS News This Morning with Lynda Lopez, the Martha Stewart Living Radio, and the syndicated talk and news program The Daily Buzz.
She was the Wellness Editor for two national women's magazines in 2004-5, REAL and Fit Body. During that time, Terra conducted one of the last media interviews of Actress Wendie Jo Sperber who was known for playing Linda McFly in Back to the Future. Wendie Jo died of cancer in November 2005. She is the former syndicated columnist for Terra Wellington's Balanced Living and is the author of dozens of articles on wellness and environmental topics which have appeared in such publications as Los Angeles Family Magazine, Aisle 7 syndicated content, Richmond Parents Monthly, Houston Family Magazine, and websites like DietsinReview.com, FocusOrganic.com, TheGreenParent.com, and more.
