In September of 2025, Herren Wellness welcomed a new member to the team, Tedessa Doff, who will serve as Director of Holistic Services and a Life Coach bringing deep experience and heartfelt passion to our community.
A holistic life coach with certifications in trauma, yoga, and meditation, Tedessa joins Herren Wellness with 23 years of sobriety and 20+ years of experience in supporting others on their healing path to recovery.
Tedessa will work with guests to navigate substance use and mental health challenges through group sessions including yoga, mindfulness, movement and breathwork as well as coach individual guests.
A dedicated yoga practitioner since the very start of her recovery, she became certified in 2007 and has been teaching ever since. Alongside yoga, she loves teaching meditation and mindfulness practices as powerful tools for healing, resilience, and long-term sobriety.
Passionate about continuous learning, Tedessa actively studies Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed therapy approaches, somatic practices, mindset shifts, and other holistic approaches — always seeking new ways to experience life to the fullest and share those discoveries with others, including the guests she works with at Herren Wellness.
As both a coach and teacher, she is committed to helping people move beyond limiting beliefs, guiding them with warmth, encouragement, and inspiration toward creating a brighter future.
Tedessa graduated from Elon University with a degree in Human Services and lives in North Kingstown, RI with her two children and her dog, Glory Days. She has dedicated her life to helping individuals navigate recovery, mental health, and personal growth. You can usually find her on the sidelines cheering for her kids, taking a barre class at her favorite yoga studio, and walking around town feeling like the luckiest woman alive.
