Hi I’M TAES (TESS)

For over two decades, I’ve created award-winning music, television, and live experiences for families as one half of Splash’N Boots–touring the world, filming shows, and recording albums that brought families together through music.

But what’s always guided me, beneath the music and performances, is a fascination with what it means to be human, and what helps us feel truly connected to ourselves and to each other.

Since I was little, I’ve felt things in a big way, but I didn’t always know how to express those feelings to the people around me.

As I began exploring tools for my own emotional wellness, something clicked.

I found myself wondering: “What if I had learned this when I was five?”

From that question, The Big Heart Journey was born - a movement that transforms emotional science into practical, playful tools that help children and their grown-ups feel connected, no matter how big the feelings get.

At the heart of it all is the Picture It Method™ - a visual way to make the invisible world of emotions something we can see, share, and understand together.

What excites me most is what becomes possible when emotional wellness is where we start, not what we fix later.

Now I partner with educators, schools, organizations, and mission-aligned brands to bring emotional safety into the places it matters most: classrooms, homes, workplaces, and hearts.

Because when we can picture what a child is feeling, we create a new kind of connection; one that doesn’t just survive the hard moments, but grows through them.

I’m so happy you’re here. Together, we’re raising a generation who knows how to feel their feelings, one heart at a time. 💛
