about me

I'm Tresa. I guide women on a journey from chaos to thriving. I believe when we truly NOURISH ourselves, we begin to THRIVE and find clarity of purpose .

My Mission

To create and share a healing environment for all beings by embracing the power of living in harmony with nature and by tapping into the wisdom of the natural world.

My Core Values

My goal is to empower women to live with purpose, radiance and balance.  The best way forward is by using the right food, lifestyle and stress management tools.

Lifestyle program for optimal weight, calm mind, and sustainable energy

More about me

I like to think of myself as a modern-day Alchemist. I weave my passions, education, love of magical things, and personal inspirations into each encounter with others. 

 

My passion is facilitating my gathered knowledge about Ayurveda, earth-based healing, and how to live in harmony with the environment. With each client, I weave “food as medicine” teachings, herbal wisdom, and spiritual practices into their detailed wellness plan and course curriculum. 

 

In early 2021, I launched an online school to support my community. Visit Wise Tree Academy to see the online class offerings. In early 2022, I launched the Elementally You program. This Ayurveda-lifestyle program is open to anyone wanting to focus on reaching an optimal weight, cultivating a calm mind, and having sustainable energy. I have put my “best of the best” pieces into this program and would LOVE to share them with you.

 

Along the way, I’ve gathered abundant experiences and formal training. I am a professional member of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and serve on subcommittees. I am the past President of the Ayurveda Association of Wisconsin. I was the lead instructor for the Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor NAMA-approved course through Mosaic Wellness. My formal training includes being a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Panchakarma Technician, Certified Advanced Medicinal Aromatherapist, Certified Reiki Master, and Certified Shamanic Animal Healer. She is the creator of DharmaDog: Ayurvedic support for canines and their people.

.

I continue to learn and be inspired by: Dr. J at Kerala Ayurveda, KP Khalsa at International Educational Institution, Cate Stillman at YogaHealer, Penelope Smith at AnimalTalk, Asia Suler at One Willow Apothecaries,  Audre & Cynthia (and Barry) at Wisdom of the Earth, and all of the living beings inhabiting Mother Earth. 

 

When not creating, concocting, or connecting, I, along with my husband, are happily moving about our small Wisconsin hobby farm. We share our land with our beloved border collies, sheep, chickens, ducks, cats, other farm animals, and a whole host of Earth beings. With the property nestled in the protection of the white pine trees, this sacred space is quiet and rejuvenating and is at the heart of what I bring to the world: Earth Wisdom Embodied.
