Tessa GiffordMassage & Yoga

Tessa fell in love with the healing arts early and sought out classes in the field as a teenager, beginning with an adult-education night class in Reiki I that she begged into with a letter. This class quickly turned into Reiki II and III classes, and soon a fulfilling and heart-centered path began to reveal itself. Tessa received her massage certificate from Bancroft School of Massage Therapy in 2009 and then further deepened her knowledge of bodywork with coursework in myofascial massage, orthopedic massage, neuromuscular therapy, pregnancy massage, and craniosacral therapy, as well as other courses.

Tessa completed the Boston School of Yoga’s 200-Hour Teacher Training in 2019 and loves to meld yoga and bodywork to help her clients feel more at home in their bodies.

Tessa has a Bachelor of Science from Bay Path University and considers herself a life-long learner with a passion for the natural sciences and health. Tessa had the privilege of practicing for 9 years in collaboration with physical therapists to help people recovering from injuries and surgeries, as well as those managing chronic diseases. During this time, Tessa worked largely with people recovering from spinal injuries and surgeries and people recovering from joint replacement surgeries.

When not at work, Tessa loves to spend time in nature and laugh with loved ones.
