Becoming Present
The 1-year program for coaches, therapists & managers ready to move from perfectionism and overthinking to creating the impact they’ve always envisioned - with confidence and joy
​​You constantly feel tense at work and just assume that this is part of the job. However, when you really think about it and check in with yourself you know that it’s not feeling right for you.
You're a hard worker who wants nothing but the best for all those involved and who gives herself fully.
​
You’ll juggle all the balls making sure everyone is feeling happy.
And yet you don’t feel seen.
​
But will it ever really be good enough?
To be honest.. It’s exhausting.
And let me tell you, when you keep going like this, the body is gonna catch up and hit the brakes. Hard.
​
So the time to change it is now.
But you don’t need anyone else to tell you to work harder, do better or think more.
What you are longing for is the feeling of being able to relax and know that: I am good enough. What I do is good enough.​​​
And I know it feels scary to make a change.
Besides, you've already done so many courses, workshops, studies... Do you really need a new program? ;)
​
But the thing is.. this program is not about doing more, working harder or fixing something that is wrong.
​
Welcome to Becoming Present
"Thank YOU for all of your time and patience and for giving me what I needed most: to strip away all the outside noise and focus on getting back to the stability of myself, my intuition, and my voice.
Tessa is a beautiful soul who brings calm, clarity, and a deep ability to recognize the strength within others. Over the past year, I’ve learned with her guidance how to harness my inner power, stay present, and intentionally shape my future. Her unique perspective on life and the method she uses to draw out the best in people have profoundly resonated with me. Thanks to Tessa, my energy has shifted—I feel a newfound sense of freedom and ownership over my life. I would recommend her a thousand times over, confident that she will be a transformative guide for anyone who has the chance to work with her."

By the End of the Program
You will feel confident to simply be present and to trust your own gifts and talents in the work that you are doing. Your sensitivity and intuition will have become your greatest assets and you will experience more joy, more energy and better results in your work.
You came to do things differently and now you’re ready to step forward.
You'll be delivering your sessions or leading your team meetings without second guessing yourself afterwards.
You will feel safe enough to let go of protocols when that benefits your work, you trust to do your work in your own way. No more anxiously waiting for someone to catch your mistakes.
After a day of work you feel energized and grateful. With plenty of energy to go for dinner, jump on your bike or work on your own projects, instead of ruminating on the things you did that day.
You’ll get to experience moments where you think “wow, I feel like I’m doing so little and my clients are experiencing all these changes!”.
You’ll feel that not only are you good enough, you will feel safe within yourself, confident that you won’t be doing any damage by doing things your way AND your clients and projects will have better results because of that.

"Tessa's free, intuitive, sometimes impulsive and challenging approach enabled me to embark on the journey in a completely different way. It required feeling into myself more than thinking about myself as before. It also meant less avoidance, more confrontation with not-yet-knowledge and questions that then drove me again.
At the same time, Tessa also had a sense of pause, of the balance between challenging oneself and letting yourself be, without motive, coming to rest. The journey enabled me to really understand connections, imprints in me, physically, emotionally, not just to know about them, and to be able to deal with them in a self-determined way.
All this was possible thanks to Tessa's supportive and encouraging guidance, which was always more of an offer than a request, and thus left room for me to decide for myself, but also demanded this again and again. But besides work, it also meant a whole lot of fun! Joining Tessa's curiosity, her perception and also questioning of all our must-dos is fun because it is liberating. Thank you for this experience!"

From my own experience as a psychologist, empowerment coach, entrepreneur, yogi and human being (let’s not forget that last one ;) ) I can tell you that the 1 thing that has brought me the greatest joy and freedom in my life is “simply” becoming present.
"... I feel more confident. I'm able to express my boundaries in my relationship, with my family at work. And because of that I experience more joy. I'm now more conscious of the things I would normally just accept because "they have always been like that". Now I understand I have a choice and I can change things."

Why Becoming Present
The name Becoming Present was born out of a deep dive into the essence of this program. To me, from my own experience as a psychologist, empowerment coach, entrepreneur, yogi and human being (let’s not forget that last one ;) ) I can tell you that the 1 thing that has brought me the greatest joy and freedom in my life is “simply” becoming present.
To be present with whatever it is that I’m experiencing. Be it nerves, thoughts, joy, love, ecstasy, sadness or whatever other situation might be popping up in life. To be fully present is in fact the gateway to not suffer whatever it is that you are experiencing, as contradictory as it may sound.
It is so simple and yet it’s not easy.
Because we just haven’t been taught this.
We’ve always been told to look elsewhere for solutions.
To take action outside of ourselves for a better experience within ourselves.
To do more to be able to achieve more.
To work harder to have a bigger impact.
But none of this is true.
And that’s why I can’t wait to go on this journey with you.
A journey of unwrapping you like the gift you are, so that you get to experience life fully again.
​
So that you get to wake up in the morning thinking “thank God I get to do another day” and going home after work thinking “I can’t believe I get to do this”.
So that your kids will see a parent who grabs life with both hands and they will grow up knowing that they can shape life according to their own vision.
So that your clients will fully benefit from all that you have to offer and flourish in their own lives.
So that your colleagues will know what it’s like when someone can manage them from a place of being fully present, compassionate and devoted to their growth.
So that you get to make an impact while feeling energized, inspired and alive.
Because this is what life is truly about.
Who's Tessa?
​
A woman with a deep longing to live this life to the absolute fullest. Living it joyfully, at ease with where live takes us, while making a big impact on those I come in touch with.
​
My road has let me from doing a Bachelor in Cognitive- Neurobiological Psychology (it's a mouth full haha), to a Master in Clinical & Health Psychology, followed by courses to become a Pilates teacher, an energetic worker and many highly intensive yoga programs, as I am very keen to get to the bottom of how this life works (at it's best).
​​
I've come to see life as a playground in which we get to choose how to handle any given situation as well as ourselves. And in return life has given me adventures, magical synchronicity, endless support and an abundance of trust & joy.
​
My fire burns for this life and for guiding others to feel alive again. Whoever comes in front of me will be met with curiosity and openness as all I want for them is to Unwrap themselves like the Gifts they are.
​
Because this is what the world needs right now.
