Words of Love

  • "Superheroes was the foundations of true change for me and so many others. The reason I can trust so much now in myself and life, communicate my boundaries clearly, be myself in all situations (personally and professionally) is because of the experience with you 5 years ago. I've gone back to it again and again over the past years whenever needed. It's always there. I want to share it with everyone!"

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • "MY DOCTOR IS SHOCKED! HE'S TAKING ME OFF MY MEDICATION (ANTI- DEPRESSANT). HE SAID NOTHING COULD HAVE HELPED ME AS MUCH AS THIS WORK HAS. I'M SO EXCITED, I'M SO HAPPY, I'M SO, SO GLAD I SAID YES TO THIS ADVENTURE."

    - Superheroes Student

  • "I usually drop out of programs but l'm still so present and excited to be here. we're only half way through, and there's been so many profound insights already. I'm already getting sad it's going to end!"

    - Superheroes Student

  • "I UNDERSTAND NOW WHY CONVENTIONAL PSYCHOLOGY/ COUNSELLING DIDN'T HELP ME - IT WAS ONLY FOCUSED ON MY BRAIN/MINDSET.. I CONTINUED TO REPEAT THE SAME PATTERNS, WONDERING WHY ALL THESE THERAPY SESSIONS WERE NOT HELPING ME CHANGE MYSELF! NO ONE EVER TAUGHT ME HOW TO LISTEN TO MY HEART, TRUST MYSELF OR WHAT TO DO WITH MY EMOTIONS!"

  • “The reason I can trust so much now in myself and life is because of the experience with you 5 years ago and who I became in Superheroes.”

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • “Everyone asks me how I do what I do, how I am so “me” and so open, brave and trusting.. and I realised it all goes back to Superheroes. It set the foundations for this version of me for years to come.”

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • “Superheroes helped me navigate the past couple of years, know what to do with all the emotions, and helped me stop my fears from holding me back. Anxiety no longer rules my life! I know my worth now.”

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • “My relationships with my friends, my family - and my children are incredible.. there’s just so much love now! I am so happy, I love my life so much. So, so much gratitude to you for bringing Superheroes to us.”

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • “In the past I would have really shrunk, but instead I turned it around.. into a real heart-warming exchange.. And it’s mind-blowing! And so enriching. I’m so grateful to be able to do that.. thank you, thank you, thank you Tessa and all of you for sharing your truths which enable me to find my own”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “.. Thank you for being with me through all of this sh*t! I felt I had a safe place to explore and to feel and it was really valuable. Of course the wisdom and guidance of Tessa was a massive comfort. I feel like I have come through something and I feel a lot lighter!”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “Thank you Tessa and team for the incredible space you are holding for all of us. Your passion and dedication to all of us is just so damn inspiring and admirable. Thank you from the bottom of my heart”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “Tessa, thank you, I’m going to get emotional but... you saved my life.. you will always be in my heart, you are the consciousness of truth in my mind.. always ensuring I take responsibility and act from love and compassion.”

    - Superheroes Alumni

  • “I just wanted to express my gratitude to all of you - and to Tessa for the beautiful structure of this program. I am just loving it.. and I’m excited for the next four months. I feel 100% supported. And I’m so grateful to the other students sharing vulnerably.. It’s not easy. It’s not something I’m used to doing everyday. But already in this last week since starting, I feel so many shifts happening from being able to open up and speak my truth… so thank-you, thank-you, thank-you.”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “I have so much gratitude for being part of this program, thank-you!Everyone is so amazing. All the mentors, all the students, it’s so incredible to be here. I’m terrified to feel again after being numb for so long.. but I’m ready. I know this is the change I need to make.”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “So many aha moments from watching the teaching this week. I’d never thought of emotions this way.”

    - Superheroes Student

  • “I experienced a huge emotional release this week. I haven’t cried like that for years and years. I just don’t cry anymore. But.. it just all finally came out.. I felt so good afterwards.”

    - Superheroes Student

  • "My first session with Tessa was the most profound experience in my life; it was exhilarating and joyful and for the first time I felt like I had come home such deep love and trust."

    - Superheroes Student

  • "After being referred to Tessa by a close friend who had some of the biggest breakthroughs of their life, I had reached a point where I knew I couldn’t keep living my life the way I had if I didn’t make some really big changes. After our first intro call, I just knew Tessa was the one to help me see through the patterns I needed to break and the changes I needed to make. I’m still on my journey (and always will be), but the shifts have already been so profound and I cannot put a value on the positive impact having Tessa on my team is."
