About Me

Barrebabe + Mother + Free Spirit 

Hey girl hey! I'm Tess! A Utah Barrebabe by day and a Mother of Dragons by night! Diet Coke and Ferror Rochers are my jam, and when I'm not teaching or having crazy dance parties with my littles, you'll find me 99% of the time curled up in bed reading a good book! Besides teaching Barre 5x a week,  I'm also jumping into the world of Aerial Silks, Pilates Reformer, Yoga and training for my next Triathlon! I've got two pretty incredible kids, and a Husband that makes cooking and cleaning look sexy! He's the Sun to my Moon, and I feel so lucky to have found the perfect compliment to my free spirited personality! I'm just a PNW girl at heart and I'm dancing my way through Motherhood one plie and grande jete at a time!
