Growing up, Tessa was always passionate about athletics, she played competitive soccer for the Flamborough region for 8 years and then went on to join the McMaster Varsity Rugby team. Her passion for sports and fitness lead her to seek an education studying the human body and how to maintain health and wellness at a level that allows the body to thrive.

​

Tessa’s treatments focus on bringing the body into structural alignment so that all parts can work together optimally and allow the body to self-heal and self-regulate. By removing restriction within the body, it allows free flow of the arterial, venous, lymphatic, and nervous pathways, so that the body can undertake all of the necessary physiological functions required to maintain health and balance.

 

Her treatments are patient-centred and individually customized to each patients unique needs so whether it is an acute injury or a chronic condition, a musculoskeletal problem or a visceral problem, Tessa works with the body to restore its structural integrity and remove restrictions to health so that the body is able to self-heal.
