Sacred Body | About

Hiii! My name is Tessa, and I’m the owner and founder of Sacred Body. I’m so grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to meet you in person!

A little about myself, for those who are curious…

I’m an Escondido native with strong roots in Los Angeles, where both of my parents were born and raised. While I’m constantly in awe of the peaceful beauty here at home, I also find that so much of my inspiration comes from the energy, creativity, and diversity of big cities. Eventually, I found myself gravitating toward them for work as a freelance designer.

For years, I commuted at odd hours to beat traffic, running on fumes and racing against crazy deadlines—all in the pursuit of creating magic. Some of my favorite opportunities have included designing stages at Coachella, creating custom PR for Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter, and Madison Beer, working on set with Tyler, The Creator, and creating the mood for Megan Trainor’s home studio.

Chasing my dreams was never easy. I was constantly facing new challenges as a single mom and found myself experiencing new health issues. I began suffering from chronic inflammation among other things and became desperate to feel strong again. I could no longer do the intensive workouts I loved, like bootcamp and running, so I had to find another way to stay fit.

That’s what initially led me to practices like Pilates, yoga, and barre. Through these workouts, I found my strength again. With significantly less impact on my joints, I experienced virtually no inflammatory response. But my transformation didn’t stop with my body. It began with movement and gradually shifted into my mind and spirit, where I started to recognize a deeper sense of alignment with my true self.

Since my first day on a mat many years ago, I’ve dedicated myself to helping others discover their own path to optimal well-being.

Joseph Pilates had it right all along: the prerequisite of happiness truly is physical fitness.

I developed a strong desire to create a sanctuary where people could grow—not just physically, but in every aspect of their lives. A place where members could develop a renewed love and appreciation for their bodies. A space to strengthen their mental well-being. A place where simple yet powerful practices could light up their world.

I imagined an entryway—a portal to the next level of life—similar to what I had to find myself, in one place.

Because I am completely fascinated by the mind-body connection and use it every day to thrive in my own life. I’m so excited to share what I’ve learned through my experiences with anyone who wants to live fully & fearlessly while connecting to their higher self.

Sacred Body was conceived in February 2025, and it has been a wild ride bringing it to life and finally open the doors. But we stayed the course through countless moments of doubt by never losing sight of why we started in the first place.

What I’m most proud of is the incredible, experienced team I’ve brought together—the instructors who are the heart of what makes Sacred Body possible.

I really hope you’ll join us, because life is too sacred for anything less!

Born and raised in San Diego, I discovered my love for movement later in life when I began taking ballet as an adult. That journey inspired me to become a certified instructor in 2015, and I've been passionate about helping others build strength, confidence, and joy through movement ever since.

I believe fitness should be empowering, welcoming, and accessible to everyone, whether you're stepping into the studio for the first time or continuing your practice. My goal is to create classes that leave you feeling stronger, more connected, and excited to come back.

Outside the studio, you'll usually find me traveling, spending time with horses, sketching, baking French macarons, or making memories with my family. I can't wait to move with you at Sacred!
