About Practitioner

Tessa has been practicing bodywork since 2011. Clinically trained at a medical massage school in Chicago, she began her career interning at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Tessa then ventured into the athletic realm and worked with established and aspiring professional athletes. Yearning for a deeper energetic understanding, Tessa pursued massage through Eastern eyes at Zen Shiatsu Chicago. After moving back to her home state of Wisconsin, she joined a wellness team that focused on holistic well-being. Eventually, Tessa began her own practice providing massage that combined both Eastern and Western philosophies and modalities at a pace that could be tailored for each individual.

A desire to treat at levels deeper than the tissues, all the while understanding that emotional and functional issues are indeed stored in the tissues, drove her to pursue a better understanding of the medicine/lifestyle that had made such a profound impact on her own health.

In 2017 Tessa started her education at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine where she acquired her Bachelors in Science of Nutrition and Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In 2021 Tessa created Ascension Acupuncture and Wellness with the hopes of integrating all of her modalities into one practice. Bringing the community she grew up in the opportunity to experience, explore and learn from Traditional Chinese Medicine is Ascension Acupuncture’s current aspiration.
