Our story, mission, and the heartbeat behind The Wellness Haus

A wellness journey from within.

Hi, I’m Tess—founder of The Wellness Haus.

My journey into wellness began with a diagnosis that changed everything: Chronic Kidney Disease, followed shortly after by Hashimoto’s. At the time, I felt disconnected from my body and overwhelmed by the reality of what healing might require. But instead of letting those diagnoses define me, I saw them as an invitation—to slow down, tune in, and choose a new way of living.

That choice led me to Pilates.

I started practicing over two years ago, and it quickly became more than just movement—it became medicine. A way to rebuild trust with my body. A space where I could strengthen from the inside out. As I grew in my practice, I knew I wanted to help others find the same sense of connection, strength, and ease. I became mat certified and began teaching with one goal: to support others in feeling better in their bodies and in their lives.

At The Wellness Haus, movement is just the beginning.

Here, we believe in feeling good—really good. In building routines that nourish your energy. In creating space for stillness, strength, and everything in between. Whether it’s through Pilates, cold plunges, sauna sessions, or future retreats, this is a place for grounded transformation and intentional living.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a space to start.

Welcome to The Wellness Haus—I’m so glad you’re here.

With love,

Tess
