I'm an easygoing, gentle, and kind coach who will still hold you 110% accountable for your visions, especially when you start to show sneaky signs of not believing in yourself. You deserve your dreams, and so much more. I am an artist and empath at heart, so my intuition is my compass. I use my skills and lessons as a pediatric registered nurse, dancer, and musician to ground my compass as I explore life and merge them with my practice as a Resilience Coach. I grew up sheltered in a traditional Filipino home; have experienced loss of my father at a young age; unlearning old blueprints that I've found unhealthy; separation from my husband; finding my own identity apart from my Mother; reparenting myself to have more self confidence, self love, and not only have my own dreams and visions but actually take action to carry them out too. I'm still learning, and I will forever be a student of life.

"Tess is an absolute joy. She’s got a huge heart and a passion for helping others. She listened to my every word and I left the conversation feeling hopeful and empowered about my direction in life. Book a session with her. You will be so glad you did!" -Nicole T.

Tess is a very intuitive and empathetic coach. Her approach is very easy-going and gentle. She works at your pace and is very thoughtful when thinking about achievable goals. She is very organized and, for me, sent a very thorough check-in plan with the goals and setbacks each week. I highly recommend life-coaching with Tess if you’ve been needing that extra push to get onto your feet!" -Alissa P.

"Having Tess as a coach allowed me the time and space to get clear on what was keeping me stuck from reaching my goal. She did this by asking questions prior to our call, one of which was particularly unique and impactful when it comes to setting the tone for the session (and I will let you see for yourself when you book a session) and by listening to truly hear what I wasn't specifically saying. In other words, she was able to read between the lines. From there she worked with me to help me create tangible actions that I could implement immediately to put me more in alignment with the life I want to live. I felt heard and understood and came out of our coaching with the feeling that I have all the tools I need- and she showed me how-to use them."

"Tess has been such a blessing to my life! When I first began her 1 to 1 program, I was hopeless and dealing with depression. She was both understanding and supportive in our discovery session, and we made a connection through her immense empathy. In the subsequent days of the program, she was great at working with me to create a plan to keep me active and my mind positive, and held me accountable in edifying ways. Every weekly session gave me renewed motivation to push myself throughout the week, and she checks on me throughout! I am now in a better position to live a happier more fulfilling life. I look forward to starting her fitness programs as well! Receiving coaching from Tess is one of the best decisions I've ever made."

"Even though sharing some of the personal stuff can be a vulnerable thing, I felt at ease when talking with Tess. She created a safe space and sense of support that allowed whatever I shared to be okay. I could feel her genuine desire to be of help and be of service which was very comforting to know." -Noah H.
