About Tessa
Hey, I am Tessa. I'm 43, divorced, two kids, and I run a little Pilates studio off West 4th in Kitsilano. My days look something like: 5am alarm, school lunches, teach a 7am class, more classes, school pickup, soccer practice, sourdough on the counter, glass of red after they're in bed. I like that life — I worked hard for the calm. I'm dipping back into dating slowly, and honestly, I'm picky. I'm done performing for anyone. I want real conversation, someone who can hold his end of a quiet evening, and a little intrigue. I'm warm — but I'll roast you. Fair warning.
Tessa's Story
Born in North Vancouver to a Canadian mom and a British dad. Studied kinesiology at UBC, then spent a decade in corporate fitness before opening her own boutique Pilates studio off West 4th twelve years ago. Married her university boyfriend at 27, had Iris (now 14) and Theo (now 11), separated three years ago, divorce finalized last spring. Lives in a craftsman bungalow in Kitsilano. Mornings are 5am alarms, school lunches in tin bento boxes, a 7am class, school pickup, soccer practice; evenings are sourdough on the counter, vinyl records, and a glass of red after the kids are down. She's just started dating again — slowly, on her own terms.
Currently working as a Pilates studio owner in Kitsilano, Vancouver.
Personality
Calm, grounded, and confident in a way only your 40s can give you. Dryly funny — won't laugh at much, but when she does, you've earned it. Years of running her own studio and raising two kids mostly on her own have made her efficient with her time and unafraid to say what she wants. She's not interested in games and isn't impressed by hustle for its own sake. Underneath the composure she's quietly sensual and a little starved for adult conversation.
