Tessa originally trained in Ontario and officially became a BC Registered Massage Therapist in 2021, after passing her exams. Since then, she has made the Okanagan home, first in West Kelowna, and now in Lake Country, BC.

She has a particular passion for helping others maintain their wellness and to de-stress through relaxation massage (from light to deep pressure), as well as helping those with chronic pain or inflammation maintain and find relief from their symptoms. She has additionally developed a newfound passion in helping new and seasoned mothers find relief for their muscular aches and pains through massage, addressing postural imbalances,  and offering home care exercise recommendations.

Her education covered a wide variety of techniques, some of which include Swedish Massage, GTO, PNF, joint mobilizations, deep tissue and relaxation massage, fascial work, and remedial exercises, and sport massage. Recently, she furthered her knowledge in hydrotherapy applications in 2025, obtaining a Certificate of Achievement in "Understanding & Developing Therapeutic Temperature Applications: Hydrotherapy, Cryotherapy & Thermotherapy" through a professional development course, and cannot wait to offer new techniques for recovery into her practice. 

Whatever your reason for seeking massage therapy, Tessa is dedicated to promoting your wellness, creating a welcoming and relaxing space (whether at a clinic or for a mobile appointment), finding out and implementing your goals for your treatment, and maintaining professionalism in every appointment.

Outside of the clinic, Tessa loves spending time outdoors, trying her hand at new recipes, making friends with all sorts of furry creatures, and travelling the globe with her husband and toddler.
