Welcome I'm Tessa

................

I’ve worked in healthcare for over a decade, with a focus on the intersections of breathing, mental health, and nervous system regulation. My work is about bridging the gap between physical and mental health in physiotherapy — bringing together clinical expertise, psychotherapy training, and evidence-based approaches to create more integrated care.

Across my career, I’ve noticed some evidence based approaches to breathing haven't had the desired outcome for some patients within the mental health sector. This curiosity sparked an expansion of focus into knowledge-sharing with clinicians, consulting on complex clients and exploring research options.

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to person-centred care and maintaining human-ness in healthcare.

I invite you to explore our resources, read our journal, or connect about consulting and research collaborations. Thank you for being part of this evolving conversation about how physiotherapy can support and optimise body and mind.

Our Values

Each day we do our best to embody our values in imperfect systems.

Gentle Strength

Gentle strength stands firm in integrity while remaining kind and receptive. Grounded in patience, empathy, and presence rather than force.

Fierce Dignity

Fierce dignity is dedicated to protecting humanness with grace and conviction. Rooted in the belief all people are born and remain worthy of dignity.

Collective Compassion

Collective compassion seeks justice through care. Solidarity in empathy from the personal to communities, systems, and the shared human experience.

Sincerity

Sincerity is the courage to be genuine and meet others/oneself without pretence. The alignment of words, actions, and inner truth.
