Hi! I'm Tess and I'm so excited to meet you!
I am a nature loving, Yoga Therapist, Somatic healer, Mindfulness coach and Ayurveda Nutrition Coach who talks a lot about stress & anxiety, women's health and embodied wellness.
Why do I talk a lot about stress, anxiety and embodied wellness? Because I've struggled with anxiety since I was very little and I've dealt with persistent back pain since my early 20s and I burned out in my early 30s and I know how debilitating they all can be... and I also know (now) that both of those things play into each other AND they can be healed!
After years of just getting by—and let's be honest not managing stress and anxiety well, which led to me completely burning out—I wanted to learn how to THRIVE. I refused to believe that "just getting by" was the best I could do, so I turned to yoga and mindfulness.
At first it was a bit of a rocky road because I didn't know how to best use the tools that were out there for my specific needs and I didn't have good internal communication with myself. But through years of study, spending a lot of time re-connecting with myself, testing out what worked (and what didn't!), training with some amazing teachers from all over the world, I've built up a pretty powerful toolkit.
I want to share that toolkit with you and help you meet yourself where you are, find the tools that work best for you and help you reach your goals (and more)!

Testimonials
¿Queries trabajar conmigo en español? ¡Puedes!
Hola! Soy Tess, profesora de Yogaterapia, coach de estrés y burnout, coach de nutrición Ayurveda amante de la naturaleza, que habla mucho sobre la salud feminina, el estrés, la ansiedad y el bienestar integral.
¿Por qué hablo mucho de estrés, ansiedad y bienestar integral? Porque he luchado contra la ansiedad desde que era muy pequeña y he lidiado con dolor de espalda crónico por muchos años y sé lo debilitantes que pueden ser... y también sé (ahora) que ambas cosas juegan un papel en mutuamente.
Después de años de "sobrevivo" y "aguantando", quería aprender a PROSPERAR. Me negué a creer que aguantar era lo mejor que podía hacer, así que recurrí al yoga y al mindfulness.
Al principio fue un camino un poco rocoso porque no sabía cómo utilizar mejor las herramientas disponibles para mis necesidades específicas. Pero a través de años de estudio, probando lo que funcionó (¡y lo que no funcionó!) y entrenando con algunos maestros increíbles por todo el mundo, he creado un conjunto de herramientas bastante poderoso.
Quiero compartir esas herramientas contigo y ayudarte a encontrarte donde estás, encontrar las herramientas que funcionan mejor para ti y ayudarte a alcanzar tus metas (y más)!
Why the name Tytoni Yoga?
Nature, in every aspect, has played a big part in making me who I am. The sea, the mountains, the flora and the fauna. All of it has helped me grow as a person, as a woman. I chose the name Tytoni because its a shortened name of Tytonidae, or as most people know them, Barn owls. My favorite animal. It’s an elegant, powerful, agile and wise animal. My favorite part? Barn owls are one of the few birds that can fly and hunt without making any sound. To me, the family Tytonidae represents much of what yoga is, they have a perfect union of body, mind and the universal consciousness. Let your inner wisdom fly.

¿Porqué el nombre Tytoni Yoga?
La naturaleza, en todos los aspectos, ha tenido un gran papel en crear quien soy. El mar, las montañas, la flora y la fauna. Todo me ha ayudado crecer cómo persona, cómo mujer. Elegí el nombre Tytoni porque es un nombre corto de Tytonidae, o en lengua común, Lechuza. Mi animal preferido. Es un animal elegante, poderoso, ágil y sabio. Y mi parte favorita: Las lechuzas son unas de las pocas aves que pueden volar y cazar sin hacer ni un ruido. Para mi, la familia Tytonidae representa mucho de lo que representa yoga, posee la unión perfecta de cuerpo, mente y la conciencia común. Deja volar la sabiduría interior.
