About
Tesharia
Hi! I'm Tesharia, pronounced "Tuh-Shaww-Ruhh". I enjoy helping clients reach their specific wellness goals by offering a safe space to be themselves without expectations or judgements. I approach every client as if they're the expert in their world, because they are - and together, we work towards building a stronger relationship with themselves, others and the world at large. I also enjoy seeing the growth of my clients from when they first come into my office to when they graduate. It brings so much joy to me to watch a client trust themselves and live a happier and healthier life.
Outside of work I enjoy trying new restaurants, spending quality time with loved ones, anything involving laughter or silliness, and playing sports. Catch me doing things that are un-serious/letting my inner child out because adulthood is hard.
