Tess Clarkson shares hacks for living well and tackling the taboo. She’ll help you to stop outsourcing your power and live with greater peace, joy, and purpose.
As a professional Irish dancer (Broadway’s Riverdance and Michael Flately’s productions) turned financial regulation lawyer in New York, Tess’ worlds were consumed by the physical and control, logic and reason. When her best friend’s plane plunged into the Atlantic Ocean, Tess’ world crashed. A spiritual quest around New York City and to India resulted, which shifted her life into one embracing the spiritual, service, and flow. She trained as an end-of-life doula, served as a hospice volunteer, led a local death doula collective, and was an advisory council for elder financial protection. She studied astrology, Reiki, meditation, yoga, and mediation. She also found love amidst the unexpected and now lives in Missouri with her husband and dogs.
Real Stories. Proven Tools. Practical Guidance.
Let Tess help you embrace change, cultivate trust in your intuition, and discover meaning in a chaotic world.
