Téa Sera

Hilary Kretchmer, writing as Téa Sera, is a wife, mother, and long-time professional Pilates and yoga instructor.
Prior to embracing fitness as a profession, Hilary worked in marketing, communications, web design
and desktop publishing, where she honed her writing, design, and production skills. Hilary has been active in the performing arts since childhood, singing, dancing, acting, choreographing, and producing. She holds a BFA in Dance from California Institute of the Arts, an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts from SFSU, and completed an MFA in Creative Writing at the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing. She’s pretty sure that sitting around making up stories might be the most fun she’s ever had.
