About Tessa

Since I was young, I have been led down a beautiful path of healing & coming home to myself and have been lucky enough to have worked with some incredible healers & mentors.

Healing happens in spirals, not straight lines, and I’ve been committed to the spiral path for over 17 years.

These experiences led me to explore:

Energy Medicine / Somatics & Embodiment / Trauma Healing / Compassionate Inquiry / Acupuncture / Taoism / Ayurveda / Bodywork / Life Coaching / Nervous System Regulation / Ancestral Healing / Emotional Alchemy / Group Facilitation

I also spent over 8 years working closely with an Irish healer in the realms of energy, somatics & ancestral healing which is the basis of my knowledge of emotional healing & energetic sovereignty.

I weave all this knowledge into grounded, heart centred healing work that honours your story and your sovereignty. I’m passionate about guiding you back to your body so you can experience a deeper understanding of your own path & wisdom.
