Meet Tess
Since she was a young girl, Tess has been fascinated by movement. Whereas some children mimic sounds, she mimic’ed motion. This has expressed itself through a continuum of a career in dance, the theater and body training.
Her background and her fascination makes her an excellent observer and teacher of others aspiring to greater mobility, strength and movement.
After winning a raffle six years ago for 3 private pilates sessions, I won a gift that I would not have even dreamed about: a way to get my body and mind back after dealing with several medical issues. To say I was “out of shape” was an understatement. I had no idea that this fun-loving and caring acquaintance of mine, was so well trained in The Alexander Technique and Pilates and other stretching modes of exercise that every one needs (although doesn’t bother to implement) in their daily life.
