What my clients are saying…

Above all, the most meaningful takeaway from my session with Tessa has been gaining a deeper understanding of my personal authority and what it truly means to live it. The way she deconstructed and explained my strategy was so thoughtful and clear that it unknowingly became the catalyst for an entirely new perspective of self. This awareness has changed the way I move through resistance in my life. Instead of reacting automatically, I've built the ability to see frustration as a doorway—a chance to pivot and approach situations from a more empowered place.

What makes this even more meaningful is that I had my session before interviewing Tessa for my podcast, A Soft Place to Land. I was already enamored with who she is—the way she shows up and shares her work—but I wasn’t anticipating the depth of loving knowledge she carries, knowledge that continues to open up for me long after our time together. That podcast episode has since become my most popular and shared one to date. Tessa showed up and resonated not just deeply with me, but with my audience and their own community as well. Her work truly speaks for itself.

Since our session, I’ve been actively working with the tools and awareness Tessa shared, integrating them into my daily life. It’s not an overnight process, but I can feel the difference in how I relate to stressors and challenges. There’s more spaciousness, more empowerment, and a sense of clarity in how I respond. I keep coming back to her words and the pdf she created for me, using them as gentle reminders to choose differently, to embody this new understanding of self. It feels like an ever-growing experience of realizations, unfolding again and again in real time.

I’ve been vocal with my community, digital and not, about how impactful this work is. The way Tessa holds space—with so much love, attention, and wisdom—makes the process of self-discovery both safe and profound. If you’re considering a reading, know that it won’t just give you insights for a single moment, but tools and perspectives you’ll keep returning to as life unfolds. This isn’t surface-level guidance; it’s an invitation into a different way of seeing yourself and navigating the world. It’s truly transformative, and I do not say that lightly.

Working with Tessa over the past six months has been such an incredible journey. Through deep study in Human Design and a holistic approach to life coaching I have been able to better understand my inner workings and patterns in my life force and then translate that to greater success in all aspects of my life. Tessa helped me wrangle a little whisper into a big vision and I have successfully started my own business. 

We worked together to better understand a key part of my Human Design, my 5/1 profile, where one is often faced with outside projections from the people around them. This means I am often encouraged by others to pursue careers or love interests, or help others with things simply because they think I’m the right guy for the job (sometimes things I have ZERO experience doing). I have been able to deeply understand that this is something I’ll face for eternity and have developed a toolset to help me analyze what is and isn’t right for me rather than taking on every exciting thing that comes my way. 

After wrapping up our six month container I feel as though I know myself better than I ever could have. I now deeply understand what routines, environments, and actions help me feel complete in my day to day life. I know how I am supposed to interact with the world and know that my life path, just like everyone else’s is unique to me. The amount of validation I feel to live a non linear path, forever exploring and trying new things, is so empowering. 

Thank you, Tessa!! Thanks you for sharing your gift with me and helping me live true to my life force. 

With love,

Tessa was incredibly intuitive in my Human Design reading. She has such a calming, grounded presence that makes it easy to take in all the information that comes with Human Design. What stood out most was the deep dive into my emotional authority. She shared insights that made me feel truly seen and understood. Since then, I’ve been able to give myself much more grace and compassion, now that I understand this part of myself. I also found the part about “Centers” so interesting, she helped convey it in a way that made so much sense. The reading and its takeaways have stayed with me, even months later. I had researched Human Design before, but Tessa helped me understand it in such a beautiful, accessible way. She really speaks the language of Human Design and was able to translate it perfectly to me. Her thoughtfully designed presentation showed the deep care and intention she pours into her work. It’s clear she genuinely wants the people she works with to receive the fullest benefits that both she and Human Design can offer.

It is with a full heart that I can authentically express my deepest gratitude for having Tessa as my life force coach and mentor. Tessa has an innate gift of presence, depth and really seeing me. I feel completely heard and utterly supported in every session and having Tessa with me in each big and small life transition. Having had only a handful of empowering sessions, I've developed a deeper sense of self knowledge and esteem that propelled me to step away from my four year career in PR and step into my purpose. It's become clear in our time together—seamlessly weaving in human design—that my strengths and gifts are what make me special and allow me to genuinely step into my life force power. Tessa's positive impact in my life is beyond what words can express and I am truly thankful.

Tessa and Social Alchemy Institute (SAI) have been like a healing-home to me over the past several months. The many opportunities and offerings to experience community, self-reflection and soul-growth with SAI have been profoundly impactful during a season of life when everything seemed to be in flux. At times I wasn’t sure which way was up, down or through. But SAI helped show me the way by showing me more of myself. I’ve learned so much about who I am and I’m excited to continue learning and growing alongside this incredible business.

Tessa is a professional at this.  The insights that I received about myself felt spot on and made me understand why things are how they are in my life, more in depth.  The reading gave me the information to understand more of my gifts, purpose in life and help me to start redefining myself more aligned with what I am here to do.  Worth every dollar and more.

I’ve recently been fired up as a manager to understand more what makes me tick & didn’t realize how fascinated the rest of my team would be to know the same things.

Flying Tessa in for our team retreat was the highlight and buzz my reps are still talking about to this day.

I know because of the info I’ve learned about my people through human design I as a leader will be able to show up according to what lights them up individually & for that every penny spent was worth it. Tessa is a light that will keep me litt for years to come.

Working with Tessa has been an absolute delight. I first came to her at a very tumultuous time in my life where I was uncertain, my relationship was falling apart, and I was hanging onto myself with every fight I had. With her light, openness, and love, she welcomed and guided my chaos through a session of a little bit of everything. She is so wise and SO well informed, she truly embodies her craft. I left that first session feeling like I had sunken a little deeper into myself, and feeling confident that I hold all the answers I might need. I proceeded to work with Tessa months later regarding a different life path opportunity and like before, she grabbed that session with its horns and led the way. Each time I've met with Tessa she goes into depth about my own design, weaving in many different modalities of astrology and astrocartography. The picture she paints is one of comprehensive understanding but also beauty and excitement. She has such an ability to hold space, allow you to feel heard, and is always ready to be your biggest cheerleader. One thing that always stays with me from our sessions is finding some words that resonate with an energy I want to further embody. It was a joyous adventure to come up with these words together. But she, being the excellent guide she is, laughed, cheered, smiled, no'ed, all the way with me in discovering my words. And I have kept these words with me every day since that session.

Working with Tessa has been nothing short of life-changing. From the very beginning, her radiant passion and intuitive wisdom created a space where I felt truly seen, heard, and supported. She brings such an authentic presence to her work—one that’s both grounded and deeply empowering.

This journey with Tessa was exactly what I needed to reconnect with my most aligned, authentic self. Her integration of Human Design into our work was a complete game-changer. Not only did I begin to understand myself on a soul level, but I also discovered how to honor my unique strengths and navigate my challenges with grace and clarity. It felt like someone handed me the manual to me.

Tessa is more than a coach—she’s a guide, a mirror, a fierce believer in your potential, and hands-down the most wholehearted cheerleader I’ve ever had. She listens with depth, speaks with intention, and supports with love. The practical tools and personalized insights she shared continue to ripple into my daily life, creating real, sustainable transformation.

If you’re even considering working with Tessa, take the leap. You will not regret it. Your life will expand, soften, and shine in ways you didn’t even realize were possible.
