Tessa is a one-of-a-kind personal trainer and health coach. Not one to shy away from being the most up-to-date, knowledgeable and creative, a session with her reveals her immense preparation and skill and complete understanding of what it’s like to be in “this” body.
DIANA CULLUM-DUGAN, REGISTERED DIETITIAN, NUTRITION AND YOGA THERAPIST
Tessa's holistic approach focusing on what we eat, what we do for ourselves, how we think about ourselves, and how we move our bodies gets to the core of what wellness is. It’s not about our “numbers” (weight, size, daily calories) but on how we feel based on how we treat our bodies and our psyches.

"Tessa is not your average fitness trainer. She's a health coach, fitness guru, friend, and a super-warm life coach all wrapped up into one.
In my time with Tessa, not only did she help me transform my body, but she made me realize what I was capable of. I not only found my physical strength but also my emotional strength, and I always felt better after a session with Tessa.
I love Tessa and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with her. Know that A) If you can work with her, you're very lucky; and B) She will 100% - absolutely - change your life."
