Hi, I’m Tess.

I am dedicated and committed to guiding individuals on their journey to self-discovery and personal growth. With a rich blend of professional expertise and heartfelt empathy, I empower my clients to navigate life's complexities with clarity and truth.

My career began in the dynamic tech industry, where I specialized in team development and group dynamics. I quickly became adept at understanding and enhancing the relational dynamics within teams, focusing on empowering each individual to thrive within the collective.

Transitioning to a role as manager of a bustling tea house and community center, I discovered my true passion for leadership and community engagement. I excelled at managing volunteers, providing guidance, and addressing their personal challenges with compassion and insight.

Driven by a desire to deepen my impact, I completed a counseling program focused on supporting individuals through adversity and trauma. I further expanded my expertise by studying somatic counseling, gaining a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection in the healing process.

Intrigued by the role of energy in healing, I also became a trained Reiki practitioner, integrating energy work into my holistic approach to coaching. I combine practical tools with compassionate support to help my clients achieve transformative results.

“I remember my first conversation with her. She said something like, “so tell me about you.” Which doesn’t sound like much, but as I’ve sat with Tess time after time, I have come to know that it’s much more of an invitation to really go inward. This shift in conversation from surface-level to deep space, has helped me to process and express things freely and without any judgement. Thank you Tess, for being truly one-of-a-kind and for offering your services to those lucky enough to speak with you!”

My approach is profoundly shaped by my own life experiences. Growing up in an unsafe environment as a child, where emotional, mental, and physical abuse were constant, forced me to develop a strong sense of awareness and attunement to keep myself safe. I learned to read the signs, to intuit danger before it struck – skills that were vital for my survival.

This heightened sensitivity, born out of survival, has equipped me in my role as a life coach. It allows me to deeply understand and connect with my clients on a level that goes beyond surface interactions. I can perceive subtle cues, unspoken emotions, and underlying patterns, guiding my counseling approach with a profound level of insight and empathy.

Having navigated my own battles with depression and anxiety, I have walked through the fires of adversity. These experiences, along with the end of a marriage, have given me a deep understanding of the pain humans can feel and the critical importance of support and compassion in healing. My ability to meet people in their suffering without judgment is a cornerstone of my practice.

I believe that while pain is a part of our human experience, it does not have to define us or shape our reality in ways that are misaligned with our truth. My holistic counseling approach honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, helping clients to release the burdens of their past and step into a future filled with authenticity and ease.

Today, I'm living my dream life on a stunning island in Greece with my girlfriend, who’s also my best friend, and our three delightful cats. At the peak of my suffering, I never imagined I could feel the way I do now, but through dedicated self-work and the incredible support I've received along the way, I've made it here. And I know that you can too.
