Testimonials
Tessa was open, and I was made to feel I could contribute as little or as much as I wanted. She was professional, being friendly and authentic with it. She made me want to participate and share experiences.

Tessa is a brilliant advocate for mindfulness. She has a wealth of knowledge in this area and she has a very calming sense about her. She is a great listener and her teaching style was great — she gave everybody the opportunity to express themselves and was not at all pushy.
