For over 15 years Bari Tessler has guided individuals, couples, and creative entrepreneurs the world over into new, refreshingly honest relationships with money. She is a financial therapist, mentor coach, and the creator of The Art of Money, a year-long money school for individuals, couples, and creative entrepreneurs. Bari earned a masters degree in somatic psychology from Naropa University and worked in body-centered therapy for over a decade before unexpectedly falling in love with bookkeeping systems and money work.
Her unique methodology integrates these two worlds within a deeply healing context, and it celebrates the multi-faceted, transformative power of working directly with our money relationship. Bari’s integrative approach to deep money work weaves together emotional healing and real-world practices within the context of each individual’s unique life story. She honors money as a gateway to self-awareness, a path of mindfulness, a bridge between our inner and outer worlds, and a training ground for compassion, confidence, and self-worth. Her approach is gentle, un-shaming, and playful. She lives in Boulder CO.
