About

Hi, I’m Tessa, founder of Prana Veda Wellness Collective. I’m a functional nutritionist (BS Nutrition Science), certified holistic health coach (IIN), and Reiki practitioner trained in the Usui method.

I help clients uncover the root causes of imbalance—whether that looks like hormone shifts, digestive struggles, fatigue, skin issues, low mood, feeling “off,” or wanting more clarity, direction, abundance, or fulfillment in life. I approach healing through a functional medicine lens (root cause approach), blending nutrition, herbal support, lifestyle guidance, and energy practices to support your whole being—body, mind, and spirit—so you can release what no longer serves you and step fully into your vitality, alignment, and personal power.

What makes my approach different is how we work together: I guide people through a two-part healing process that blends deep emotional exploration with energy work. We start by uncovering the patterns, beliefs, and emotions affecting your health and life, then move into Reiki, guided meditation, and subconscious reprogramming to clear what no longer serves and make space for new energy and alignment.

Think of it like tending to a home: first, we notice what’s been tucked away in the corners; then we clear the clutter; and finally, we refresh the space so your body, mind, and energy can feel light, open, and truly at home again.

You don’t have to navigate your healing alone. In my care, you’ll feel seen, supported, and empowered to reconnect with your body’s wisdom while gaining practical tools to carry into everyday life.

Beyond 1:1 sessions, I also lead workshops across SLO County and offer group meditation experiences for corporate teams—bringing centered, healing energy into both communal and professional spaces.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me cooking nourishing meals, hiking the Central Coast, practicing yoga, dancing, or creating art.
