ABOUT TESSA

​

Like so many people, Tessa found Pilates when searching for pain management for her own body. Training & competing in Swimming, Tessa was diagnosed with serious condition in her lower back & pelvis in her early teens.

Dealing with intense pain day in & day out, Tessa & her family needed to find help. Pilates was, as it is for many, the answer to managing & reducing her chronic pain. Strengthening her core & body from the inside out, she fell in love with Pilates & the strength it gave to the smallest to biggest muscles in the body.

​

Tessa's passion for Pilates only grew & in 2018 she became Polestar International Certified Mat & Reformer Pilates Instructor

& started working as such.

​

As well as Pilates, Tessa has shared her passion for movement over the years working as a Swimming Instructor teaching everyone from babies to adults, a 'Kinder Fitness' instructor teaching aerobics & ball skills in Kindergartens & various sports coaching, while also staying active in any & all ways possible: Pilates, triathlons, boxing, boot camps, tennis, softball, yoga, surfing & ballet.

​

Through Pilates Tessa wants to help your body to find it's voice, to get the movement, strength & flexibility it craves, needs & is made for. 

Along with this, Tessa knows the importance of facilitating a moment in your day where you have time to focus on yourself, nurturing your physical and  mental health. 

​

In her spare time Tessa loves to spend time with her family, including her Italian greyhound Bacio! If you are lucky you might end up in 

a class with him - he loves making a guest appearance!
