You built a career to fund a wonderful life. Now, that career is the very thing stopping you from living it.
This program helps you navigate high-pressure environments with clear coping mechanisms rather than just pushing through, allowing you to reclaim the energy to do your best work and to enjoy the life that happens after you log off.
The Becoming Present Framework
Finding Clarity amidst High Pressure
"It's been an unexpected ride! Thank you for all the clarity, the questions and helping me feel more joyful and empowered again. I didn't really know what to expect before we started, but I felt comfortable to open up and explore."
Team Manager - European Q-Commerce Platform
"I have never felt more seen and understood. I sleep better, communicate better and I am more optimistic at work."
Lead Project Engineer - Global E-commerce Company
"I feel more confident. I'm able to express my boundaries at work as well as at home. 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."

We often celebrate the "do-it-alls." We praise the reliable perfectionists who never say no and carry the weight of every project. But there is a hidden cost to being the one who holds it all together.
It shows up at 7:00 PM. You’ve closed the laptop and sat down for dinner with your family or friends, but a part of you is still at the office. You’re physically there, but mentally you’re somewhere else. You are replaying that one tense comment from a meeting, drafting a perfect response to an email in your head, or worrying about a deadline that is weeks away.
When you struggle to delegate because you don’t trust the outcome, or when you stay silent on a brilliant idea because it doesn't feel flawless yet, you are actually draining your productivity. And more importantly: you’re draining your energy.
That late-night rumination steals your sleep, which sharpens your temper the next morning, creating a cycle where work starts to impact your relationships as well.
And inevitably, when you are running on empty, the quality of your work and the spirit of your team will begin to feel the drain too.
That gap between where you are (working over-hours in your head) and where you want to be (actually moving through your day with calm confidence and ease), it’s real.
And it’s time to bridge that gap. Not someday. But now.
This is where I love to come in because it can be so much easier, more inspiring, and yes... a lot more joyful.
"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."

Moving From Pressure to Presence
In our work together, we address the specific, often silent hurdles that keep you from feeling at ease in your role. We focus on transforming the patterns that lead to burnout into a foundation for sustainable growth:
-
Addressing the compulsion to keep everyone happy. By letting go of people-pleasing, you create a clearer job scope for yourself and those around you.
-
Learning to share your ideas before they are "perfect." We quiet the inner critic that keeps your best contributions hidden.
-
Replacing the "responsible for everything" mindset with a clear understanding of your role, reducing the friction that comes from overlapping boundaries.
-
Breaking the cycle of work-related restlessness nights. When you sleep better, you communicate with more kindness and less reactivity, improving the whole team's dynamic.
-
Moving past the fear that you must do everything yourself for it to be done correctly. We build the internal safety needed to delegate and trust your team.
-
Building a toolkit for high-pressure moments so you can stay grounded, even when the stakes are high.
The Result: You move from a state of Hyper-Reactivity where you feel responsible for everything but have control over nothing, to Grounded Presence where you trust yourself, your team and your ability to switch off.

"I was thinking, how it will be for me to take on this journey with you together with such big changes in my life ... after more than 10 years of intense run after my career, starting a new job, starting my executive studies and all of that together with additional little miracle to come - my way to motherhood.
It is actually hard to put it into words and not everyone will understand it, but this journey has been so many things to me ... understanding what kind of practical methods work for me when I get confused, transforming myself into a new stage of my life and mostly - understanding that so much magic is already in me, and I just have to open it up.
But the easiest way to visualise this outcome for me ... are those moments when I am simply walking the street. I am here, in this moment, feeling the internal strength and happiness. Feeling the magic."

Not Another Time-Management Workshop.
Whether you are a manager, ingenieur, creative, or support professional, within your role you will learn to lead and collaborate from a place of self-compassion, clarity and excitement for growth.
You may have done many leadership courses or time management workshops before. But this program is not about learning how to take on a specific role, or how to plan your day more effectively.
This program is about stripping away all the fluff that is weighing down on your shoulders. So that you get to make decisions and act from a place of clarity and presence. Whether it’s at work or at home.
Because when you are present, you don't just work better, you live better. Your colleagues see a teammate who is calm and focused, your family sees a person who is truly there with them, and you see a life that is once again, a playground of possibilities.
Are you ready to make an impact at work while feeling calm and inspired?

"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. ... 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 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!"

About Tessa
A person with a deep longing to live this life to the absolute fullest and a passion for exploring the world through hiking and biking.
My road has led me from doing a Bachelor in Cognitive- Neurobiological Psychology, to a Master in Clinical & Health Psychology, followed by courses to become a Pilates teacher, other coaching modalities and many highly intensive yoga programs, as I am very keen to get to the bottom of how this life works (at its best).
In the past decade I have had the pleasure to work with employees from companies such as Adidas, Wolt, Nike, Le Wagon, Charité and Vista Print through Employee Assistance Programs and tailored workshops.
Through this work, I’ve seen the profound impact of helping employees cultivate clarity and become deeply grounded in their own presence. When people learn to master this, they unlock the ability to function at their best - not just at work, but after hours too.
And the beauty of it all is that this groundedness creates a ripple effect that elevates entire teams and transforms lives at home as well.
