About Tassy

Hello, my name is Tassy Hennessy and I am honored to be here to support you in your transformational process and healing journey. I am a 25+ year practitioner and a life long learner that has taken as many opportunities as I can to learn about our healing process through my own life journey as well as all the wonderful people I've worked with on their own journeys' of self-discovery, processing the emotions of life events with compassion and understanding for themselves and obtaining peace in their body, mind and spirit for holistic healing. I facilitate the Grief recovery Method in California, primarily in San Diego, Escondido and Encinitas areas, and on occasion, I will also travel to the San Francisco Bay area to host facilitations of groups or one-to-one GRM facilitations for special requests as the schedule allows. I have been in the healthcare field both Western and Eastern for about 34 cumulative years and I have been integrating both modalities in a holistic Eastern/Western-Functional Medicine-Acupuncture healthcare practice for the past 20 years. My credentialing is LAc, MSTOM, AAPOM, GAPS & Functional Medicine Practitioner and I am sincerely passionate about partnering with people who want to be proactive with their health and healing. I believe we are all unique in our body processes, thoughts, feelings, intensities and we respond in healing ways when we are given the space, compassion, healing tools and nurturing guidance to assist us in "righting our own ship". I am here to assist you with these tools on your healing journey if you feel called to work with me. If you'd like further information about me, feel free to peruse my websites in the contact area.

My Experience

Participating in the Grief Recovery process with Tassy was one of the most meaningful and impactful experiences of my life. Her presence is both deeply compassionate and skillfully grounded, creating a space where I felt safe to be honest about my grief in a way I hadn’t been before. What sets this work apart is that it doesn’t just ask you to sit with grief—it gently and intentionally guides you toward completing it. Through the Grief Recovery Institute process, I was able to look at losses I had carried for years, including those I didn’t even fully recognize, and begin to bring a sense of closure and peace to them. Tassy holds this work with such care and integrity. She listens without judgment, guides without pressure, and honors each person’s experience in a way that feels both personal and deeply respectful of the process. I am leaving this experience with a greater sense of lightness, clarity, and self-understanding. While grief is a lifelong part of being human, I now feel more equipped to move forward without carrying the same weight. I am incredibly grateful for this work and for Tassy’s guidance through it.

My Experience

Being witnessed with like minded people, while doing your deepest shadow work is profound. Being guided by Tassy Hennessy was absolutely perfect. her expertise in facilitation allowed us all to go very deep into our healing. I am not quite sure that would have happened with another facilitator. Tassy kept us on track and gently guided us back to presence and healing. she is an incredible facilitator and I appreciated her expertise.

My Experience

The grief recovery program has made a huge impact on my life and how I approach others. Communication is so important in any relationship you have. I have learned to listen and approach people in such a different way. It has opened up my eyes to another way of thinking and processing. I have felt so much gratitude for this program. It has changed my perspective on “why” people say or act a certain way. I have learned to set healthy boundaries for my current relationships and still allow them grace as well. Resentment stays with you and I have learned to process these emotions with this program. It is so healing and empowering to have such a wonderful program. I feel so much support from Tassy and how she has guided me through this journey. I will continue to work on different relationships using this method because I know and feel that it truly works. I have already seen so much growth in myself and have been able to move forward feeling compassion for others and myself.

My Experience

we started the program on July 21,20203. the weeks flew by and the journey seemed effortless and yet very impactful. Tassy supported us every step along the way. I am so grateful for her guidance ad support. I am certain that I would have given up several times, if not for her. Her constant checking in to see how we were doing, was so helpful and brought me right back into my commitment to do this work. I learned so much about myself and life and how to process loss and life, and for that I am grateful! thank you ! Joni P
