Spiritual direction

Spiritual direction is a spacious, nonjudgmental space to explore how the Sacred shows up in your daily life. Acting as a gentle witness rather than giving advice, I accompany you through seasons of transition, quiet, or questions, helping you become more aware of Divine guidance

Reiki

Reiki is a form of subtle energy work that helps support relaxation, restore balance, and ease stress. Using gentle touch combined with focused intention or prayer, it helps the body tap into its own natural healing ability

More about Tess

Kind words from those I’ve accompanied

  • "I've been seeing Tess for Reiki for a while now, and every session has been deeply restorative. She has such a calming, grounded presence, and I always leave feeling relaxed and more centered. Tess creates a safe space "where I can completely let go and just be."

    –LW

  • “Tess's healing space felt safe, warm and deeply comforting from the moment I arrived. As soon as she began the energy work, my nervous system settled and I experienced a level of peace and calm I had never felt before. I am so grateful she was recommended to me!”

    –JW

  • “I feel incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to experience a reiki session with Tess. She not only welcomed me into the session with kindness and genuine care, but attuned to my needs. Her calmness and intuitive nature make her a practitioner that anyone would be fortunate to encounter. She has a gift that needs to be shared with others.”

    –AD

  • “I felt safe and seen the moment I met Tess. She is down to earth, has a peaceful presence and is a genuine spiritual healer. I have had 3 Rieki sessions thus far. Each experience was its own, yet in each session, I experienced insights and pain relief throughout my body.”

    –MS

  • “I can’t recommend Tess highly enough! I feel so much better after every session and look forward to the next. She is so gifted.”
