ABOUT TESSA
Tessa was introduced to Therapeutic Massage at a very young age which has allowed her to develop an inherent connection to the human body. She believes that therapeutic touch & patient education is a vital part of preventative health care. She has been in professional practice since November 2010 & continues to add to her therapeutic skill base through continuing education. She is passionate about Self Care Education for Humans & supporting Women's Health issues.
When Tessa is not practicing Massage Therapy, you can find her online educating about Self Care on her multiple social media platforms & staying active while communing in Nature. She loves to hike, swim and explore the riches of the lower mainland. She is an avid learner & studies a wide range of topics daily including Astrology, Numerology, Physiology & Neurology as a means to better understand her place as a human being in this world.
