Tess is a seasoned massage therapist with a profound dedication to understanding the science of the human body and the art of healing. As a Board-Certified Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Tess specializes in Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy and Osteopathic Manual Therapy.

Tess has devoted her life to understanding the intricate connections between the human body, health, and healing. Her path to wellness is deeply personal. As a child, Tess struggled with weight and self-worth, often feeling disconnected from her body. Everything changed when she met Abiola and enrolled in massage school, an experience that not only ignited her passion for health but awakened a powerful drive to transform herself from the inside out. This transformation, both physical and emotional, became the foundation of Tess’s purpose: to inspire others to find their own path to health, happiness, and self-acceptance. She lives by the belief that health is wealth, and that true serenity comes from understanding ourselves—body, mind, and spirit.

Raised in a Western medical environment, Tess was profoundly influenced by her father, an ER physician specializing in critical care. His clinical approach to acute medicine gave her a solid foundation in physiology and diagnostics. Yet, over time, Tess felt drawn to the energetic and holistic wisdom of Eastern medicine. Today, she skillfully blends both worlds, integrating evidence-informed techniques with energy awareness to offer a truly balanced, whole-person approach to healing.

Tess is especially attuned to how energy, whether harmonious or disrupted, manifests in the body. Her sessions often begin with orthopedic assessments, both on and off the table, to identify structural imbalances and areas of dysfunction. With a diagnostician’s precision and a healer’s intuition, she tailors each session to uncover root causes and promote long-term relief.

Her work isn’t just massage; it’s a deeply restorative experience designed to help people reconnect with their bodies, reclaim their health, and rediscover their inner peace.
