For the ones who’ve overlooked their own needs for too long. This is your revolution.

We pick up so many versions of ourselves along the way — the one who keeps the peace, the one who meets expectations, the one that’s easier for others to accept. After a while, it can be hard to tell what’s actually us and what’s just survival.

Surviving isn’t the same as living, that’s why you’re here.

You’re ready to notice yourself and what you actually need.

You want to stop shrinking to fit what others expect.

You’re curious about the patterns that keep you stuck.

You’re ready to reclaim your space, energy, and voice.

You know you don’t need anyone else’s permission to do it.

1:1 Coaching Programs

A 1:1 coaching journey, offered in 1, 3, or 6-month options, designed for the part of you that’s tired of playing it safe — the part that knows there’s more inside but doesn’t always know how to reach it. Together, we’ll create a space to sort through the noise, reconnect with yourself, and start making choices that actually feel right.

What you’ll gain:

Connection
Reconnect with yourself, notice what matters, and honor how you feel.

Clarity
Understand your needs and give yourself permission to have them.

Techniques
Practical methods to help you stay steady when old patterns show up.

Direction
Know yourself better so you can make decisions with confidence and integrity.

How The Program Journey Works

We’ll meet once a week for a 60-minute Zoom call. Each session builds upon the last.

This journey is tailored to you — shaped around your needs and adjusted as things shift.

You’ll receive practical tools after each session to integrate before the next.

I’ll be available between sessions to support you whenever you need it.

Hi, I’m Tess and I’m a recovering people pleaser.

I see you. I’ve been where you are. Heck, sometimes I’m still there — just less so.

I love this work because I get to walk with my clients as they actually figure themselves out — as they uncover and bloom into themselves. I’ll guide you, call out what you might be missing, and validate your experience without enabling the patterns that keep you stuck.

I’m not here to tell you what’s right or wrong. You don’t need another person doing that — you need someone curious, paying attention with you, helping you see what actually works for your life. That’s the coach I am.

If that’s the coach you need, let’s talk.

Acknowledgments

  • I feel transformed, empowered and have so much clarity. I trusted the process and now am going to extend my time with Tess as there is more ground to cover, especially around professional development. I am so glad Tess is my life coach. She helped me transform and get out of a fear loop that was holding me back. I am beyond grateful to Tess. Thank you.

  • I value Tess's skillful and intuitive way of working. The psychological space she provides is non-judgemental, creative and secure. With her gentle guidance I’m able to take myself deep into my psyche and gain benefit from the insights that come bubbling to the surface.

  • Tess was my first experience of what it means to be truly heard. Even when it comes to the darkest, hardest, most vulnerable things, like my divorce, a suicide in my family, feeling shame, you name it. I have worked through the ups and downs turning to her for support, compassion, acknowledgement, validation, and release.

    - Leah M.

  • I had the pleasure of receiving coaching while working through old patterns. She is an embodied listener and asks deeply resonate questions that allows me to come to my authentic truth and self. Tess is so easy to open up to and almost every time leaves me in a state of laughter; even with the heavy patterns rearing their heads. I highly recommend working with Tess!

DISCLAIMER: It’s Not Always Easy Work

Change isn’t always simple. When we start paying attention to ourselves and our needs, it stirs things up — in us, in the people around us, and in the life we’ve built. Old habits and patterns show up, fear and doubt make themselves known, and sometimes it can feel messy or uncomfortable. That’s normal. Change rarely happens in a straight line, but it’s always worth it. Coaching helps you notice what comes up, understand it, and take steps that feel aligned — even when it’s hard. So, if you’re ready to start that process, I’d love to walk beside you.
