TES.

Born to two survivors of the Nazi Holocaust, TES. has dedicated her life to healing conflict, creating harmony, and exploring the true nature of peace — both in the outer world and within the human soul.

Singing “to chase away the demons” became her refuge from the age of five, as she sought to process the unimaginable trauma carried by her deeply wounded parents. Performance-as-therapy became her cathartic vehicle for creative self-expression throughout her youth and beyond — in secular, religious, and spiritual arenas alike.

Raised in New York City amidst the influence of Broadway theatre and nightclub cabaret, TES. earned a BA in Drama & Theatre from CUNY Queens College and studied with numerous respected acting and voice teachers, including Dennis Moore, Ron Shetler, Robert X. Modica, Stephen Book, Alex Rubin, Jered Barclay and others. She performed professionally in television, film, theatre, and cabaret before relocating to Los Angeles, where she appeared in episodics, films, theatrical productions, and created her own one-woman show, “Aftermath.”

Alongside her artistic path, TES. immersed herself in both traditional and avant-garde therapeutic modalities in search of deeper healing and understanding. Burdened by a childhood prophecy that she would somehow “make up for everything her parents had suffered,” she eventually discovered her greatest gift — songwriting — and conceived “Six Million Candles: Concert at Auschwitz,” a global healing concert project intended to restore planetary harmony through the transformative power of music and light symbolically at one of humanity’s darkest sites.

Following 9/11, and sponsored by United Nations NGO The Women’s Federation for World Peace International, TES. was honored to perform her original (still currently relevant!) trance-hymn “Peace In The Middle East” for 6,000 Israeli and Palestinian women gathered in Jerusalem’s Independence Park. Delivering a message from Mother Earth directly into the heart of the region profoundly shaped her emerging role as “The Voice of Global Awakening” — a title she later revived as host of a weekly musical esoteric podcast.

Inspired by more conscious and compassionate ways of living, TES. later founded the Universal Temple of Expanding Consciousness, an experimental “unconditional love and world peace” residential retreat center in San Diego, California. The community brought together transformational artists, emotional release facilitators, expressive arts and transpersonal therapists, ministers, mediators, rebirthers, and world sacred music artists in an immersive environment devoted to healing, self-awareness, sound, creativity, and authentic connection.

As a living microcosm of society, the project explored whether a dedicated community could sustainably embody peace in daily life. The experiment lasted more than four years, culminating in a profound five-day silent retreat during which participants experienced an extraordinary dissolution of interpersonal projections, mental noise, and emotional reactivity.

That experience deeply transformed TES.’ relationship to silence, leading her to integrate Sacred Silence as an ongoing personal practice and offering in both private and group settings.

A lifelong student and teacher of Advaita (Oneness), Science of Mind, and consciousness studies, TES. cites among her influential teachers Osho, Ram Dass, Gangaji, Yogananda, Abraham-Hicks, Ernest Holmes, Neville Goddard, Carl Jung, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Louise Hay, Byron Katie, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Barbara Marx Hubbard, and others. She also opened once for Deepak Chopra at The Global Mind Change Forum in Santa Barbara, California.

Known for her uncanny intuition, emotional precision, and compassionate insight, TES. has developed a reputation as a powerful “word alchemist” with an unusual ability to identify and dissolve psycho-emotional blocks, often creating profound relief, breakthrough, and liberation for audiences, clients, and retreat participants alike.

She is available for performances, keynote speaking, emceeing, workshops (such as Public Therapy Theatre, and The Shamanic Expression Jam), retreats, and private sessions (phone, zoom, or in-person). She also writes customized songs and anthems for meaningful causes and visionary projects.

TES. has released two professionally produced recordings — “Awake In The Dream: Musical Medicine for the Soul, Volume 1” and “Grace ’n Grit: Musical Medicine for the Soul, Volume 2” — with dozens more original empowerment songs awaiting production.

Current projects include new recordings, intimate gatherings and “Slow Queen Nervous System Reset Retreats” at her San Diego-based Inner Peace Sanctuary, a new autobiographical one-woman show, and the launch of a global humanitarian music initiative called “WE ARE THE VOICE” — a 21st century anthem featuring beloved recording artists and a worldwide chorus intended to inspire compassion, unity, and reverence for all life.

Planned for release on November 1, 2026, the project’s mission is simple yet profound: to remind humanity that we are not separate from one another ~ and so, to Respect Life.
