Tessa first discovered Pilates in college and returned to it after a shoulder injury from snowboarding. She found it to be the missing piece in her rehab, rebuilding strength and stability from the core out. Since then, Pilates has become a daily practice, keeping her body active through a 9-to-5 desk job and ready for her favorite sports: snowboarding and surfing.
As a software engineer, Tessa breaks movement down piece by piece the same way she solves complex problems at work, and she brings that analytical approach to teaching. She is Mat-certified through Power Pilates and is currently working towards her Comprehensive Certification. Tessa is passionate about sharing the method with more people and helping them build the strength and body awareness to do what they love.
