Hi, I’m Dr Tessa,
I help people just like you to fit self-care into their lives so they feel better on every level. And also organisations to put wellness at the core of what they do and professionals to bring a trauma-informed and neurospicy awareness to their work.
Whatever stage of life you've reached, you want someone who will walk alongside you on your journey. I've been teaching yoga for 20+ years; that's over 12,000 hours of teaching experience.
I have been running my Women’s Circle since 2015, am the co-author of Circle Holding: A Practical Guide to Facilitating Talking Circles and co-host of the Circle Holding podcast.
I’m a former academic researcher (PhD in Medical Sociology) and life longer learner so I strive to constantly bring YOU the best and latest knowledge.

If you’re interested in group dynamics or listening skills, there will be something for you in this podcast. There are interviews with guest circle facilitators and shorter chats between myself and my co-host Julia Davis.
“Tessa's gentle, but clear and concise way of giving information is an excellent example of a trauma-informed approach in which I felt held and safe, but could also explore and learn.”
Jill Miller
Perinatal Lead of the Happy Baby Community and Co-Director of YogaBirth
“Tessa has created outstanding training with the Yoga Teachers Forum. She is a total pleasure to work with her professionalism and warm-hearted personality.”
Julia Davis
Founder of Yoga Teachers Forum
“Just watched your session, very well done. Something that should be a key part of midwifery training. Such a key part of families feeling happy with care: communication and feeling listened to.”
Katie Bettle
Midwife and Baby Massage Tutor
