Let’s Work Together
A Holsitic Approach to Wellness
While I’m grateful for modern medicine and alive today because of it, most of us don’t realize there’s so much more we can do beyond physicians and pharmaceuticals to support our health.
Everyday parts of life like sleep, stress, digestion and our psycho-emotional wellbeing all influence how we feel. A holistic lens looks at the big picture to uncover root causes of imbalance, and support the body to heal and repair.
Foods, lifestyle and medicinal plants can be deeply supportive. Often the remedies we need may already be in our kitchen or growing quietly beneath our feet.
As a clinician, I respect you as the expert in your experience, listen deeply without judgement and see our work together as a collaboration. I approach sessions with warmth and empathy, and use science-backed study to craft personal protocols and remedies.
I also have 10+ years of experience with children and teens, who are welcome in my practice.
I love working 1:1 with clients to find creative solutions, empowering clients in caring for their own wellbeing and full selves.
Have questions? I’d love to connect! I offer free curiosity calls to touch base and see if working together may be a good fit for you. Hablo español!
*I offer sliding scale pricing to increase equity and access for clients experiencing systemic oppression and financial barriers to care. Thank you for paying at the rate you can afford to support this work.*

Kind Words
-
“I have struggled with hormone imbalance off and on for years and tried many healing modalities without great effect. In a handful of sessions, Tessa was able to identify the heart of the problem, prescribe a gentle herbal protocol and recommend lifestyle and dietary changes that have completely stabilized my hormones. Even long after completing the herbs, my body has remained in balance. Not only was Tessa's approach clinically effective, but in every session I felt her genuine care and interest, which was healing in and of itself after years of fast paced, impersonal allopathic care. I would highly recommend Tessa to anyone looking for an effective, personalized approach to health challenges.” - L.R.

“Tessa began by asking me what I was noticing about my body and health and suggested specific herbs to deal with my digestion and gut issues. She monitored my progress and recommended I get a colonoscopy. When I did, they found a large tumor in my sigmoid colon and the results from the biopsy came back malignant. That began my journey to treat my cancer and try to survive to become healthy again. Tessa supported me all the way. Having her presence in the background of my health journey has given me courage and I feel such gratitude that she guided me to take better care of my health. I highly recommend her as your herbalist for compassionate, sensitive, and accurate understanding of herbs and how to utilize them for a healthier and more wholesome way of life.” - M.L.
