Tessa is an Emotional Release Practitioner and Herbalist located in San Mateo County. She is a passionate medicine maker, non-indigenous beader, and lover of earth.
Her path into herbalism began with her own healing journey; after years of dealing with trauma-related grief and depression from the loss of her father to suicide at age 11, and being diagnosed with PCOS at 23, she began to feel defeated by the recommendations of the traditional medical system. She then set off on a trek to find what healing meant to her, and has never looked back. She understands that the term “healing” is truly in the eye of the beholder; all that life brings is a “healing” journey and she’s along for the ride. Her own personal expedition through herbalism and somatics exponentially changed her life and has inspired her to bring this work to the greater public and make it accessible to everyone.
Tessa’s greatest fulfillment comes from foraging soulful connections and witnessing individuals thrive in their fullest authentic expression. She looks forward to holding space for you and supporting you to find your own unique definition of “healing”.
