Tessa has loved dance her whole life starting with ballet classes when she was a child through explorations into modern, breakdancing, salsa, and hip hop with many years of training in Middle Eastern dance. During a yoga retreat at Kripalu in 2022, she discovered JourneyDance® and immediately felt its healing power. Her teacher training began in 2023 and she became a certified JourneyDance® facilitator in 2024.

She is honored to share this transformational movement practice with others so they may feel more at home in their own bodies, express themselves freely, and process emotions in a supportive environment.

More recently, she has been delving into sound healing. She completed her Level 1 Foundations in Sound Healing from the Sound Healing Academy in the summer of 2025. She is currently working towards her Level 2: Professional Integral Sound Bath Certification and Level 2: Professional Integral Sound Healing For Working 1:1 With Clients.
