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 & Calm

Moving from Pressure to Presence
Through this program you will be able to:
Let go of the need to people-please so you can fully focus on your own tasks, make decisions that benefit the team and protect your energy.
Share your ideas before they are "perfect" by overcoming the inner critic that keeps you silent during meetings.
Replace the "I'm responsible for everything" feeling with clear role boundaries, without feeling guilty to prevent you from marching straight into a burnout.
Break the cycle of work-related restless nights to get better sleep, allowing you to communicate with more kindness and less reactivity.
Move past the fear that you must do everything yourself and build the internal safety needed to delegate and trust your team.
Collect tools that actually work for you and your nervous-system, that allow you to stay grounded and clear-headed, even during high-pressure situations.
As a result you will be able to work better, enjoy your job again, be the leader your team needs and be fully present with the people you love.

Digital Innovation Manager - French Fashion House
"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.
Tessa has 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. I feel a newfound sense of freedom and ownership over my life."
Energized at Work, fully present at Home
Allow me to introduce you to Ans, an executive secretary who has spent most of her life taking care of others, while ignoring her own needs and boundaries.
She came to me as a client after having experienced such an intense panic attack, that she couldn’t work for weeks. Simply the thought of going back to work made her heart race and her mind go in overdrive.
She would feel guilty putting a “not available” sign on her office door and was the person everyone in the company would go to with their doubts, fears about the reorganization and complaints about other colleagues.
And because she was always there for every single person in the office, functioning well and never saying no to more work, no one knew how she was actually doing. Until her body hit the breaks.
And this is the exact pitfall I see happening with my clients: highly capable employees who continue to perform wonderfully, while quietly struggling with the demands of their roles and their personal insecurities.
Because you keep delivering, the warning signs often go unnoticed until your ability to work is actually affected. But before that moment comes, the signs are in fact already there: the over-thinking, difficulty to switch off after work, being absent with the people you love. Or perhaps a heart that starts racing as soon as you think about going back to work on Monday morning. Or your communication with colleagues and loved ones that is getting snappier than you like it to be.
How you move through the day at work, defines how you experience life after work.
And that's why it's imperative to change your working strategy from pushing through -
to Becoming Present.

Director of Innovation - European FinTech Company
"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 an additional little miracle to come - my way to motherhood.
It is actually hard to put 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 is already in me, and I just have to open 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."
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 actually get to enjoy life again. 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.

E. - Psychotherapist
"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.
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."
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.
