Speaking

Dr. Tessa Modiri, DDS — speaker bio

A dentist, aesthetics physician, and vitality coach ready for stages that value practical science and human stories — including TEDx.

Short bio (TEDx-ready)

Dr. Tessa Modiri, DDS is a Maryland dentist, a mom of three, the physician behind BeautySpot Med Spa in Bel Air, and an executive vitality coach. With more than 15 years in facial aesthetics and a clinical foundation in head-and-neck anatomy, she helps people look fresher without looking “done” — and helps high performers rebuild energy from the inside out. Her through-line is simple: helping people look and feel their best. Tessa Modiri is a member and mentor of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and a Fellow of the American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery.

Idea worth spreading: There is nothing wrong with you. As a doctor, I see how body and mind adapt to the conditions they are given — stress, fatigue, the face we show the world — until those adaptations start to feel like identity. I help people notice the difference, then choose what comes next with more energy and compassion.

Longer bio

Dr. Tessa Modiri, DDS began in dentistry, where she saw how muscle tension in the face, jaw, and neck could show up as pain — and how carefully placed neuromodulators could change how patients felt and functioned. That curiosity grew into BeautySpot Med Spa, an intimate Bel Air practice where she personally performs every Botox, PDO thread, and lip treatment. In parallel, she coaches executives through Rise and Thrive, guiding clients from exhaustion back to clarity, confidence, and steady vitality.
