Wellness, Relationships, Lifestyle Hacks
- Tessa has been an active freelance writer for ten years, and she has had articles selected for publication in Huffington Post, Grown and Flown, and Motherly.
- In the summer of 2022, Tessa was one of Static Media's first freelance writers for their relaunch of Glam.
- Having been a daughter, sister, mother, wife, and teacher for many years, Tessa is driven by the relationships in her life. She has found it easy to see that loving others is what makes life fulfilling. In addition, her focus on wellness and whole-food nutrition is inspired by another — often ignored — relationship with our own bodies. She writes to make connections with the fact that how we care for ourselves is at the core of how we care for others.
