How this journey started…
I’m Jess, and when I was in 3rd grade I made the decision that education defined me.
I always knew I wanted to be a teacher because school made me feel like I mattered, school felt like where I belonged when my childhood felt uncertain.
But teaching soon led me down a path of proving myself, overachieving, people pleasing, and burnout, and all the masks I wore made me feel like I was losing control, losing myself.
When I started having panic attacks I knew something had to change because I was bleeding out, and the bandages I always used weren’t working anymore.
So, I did something so many don’t do I put myself first and I started to heal myself from the inside out. I made the decision that toxic family cycles end with me!
As I was healing…
I watched from the sidelines as my family members and friends continued to struggle like I did.
What did I see?
- Overwhelm from doing it all, all of the time and feeling unappreciated
- Unrealistic expectations and demands placed upon them
- Anxiety, stress, and exhaustion
- Self-doubt and self-sabotage
- Frustration and resentment from ignoring boundaries
- Feeling lost and without purpose in life
Their old habits and expectations no longer served them, it became a source of stress and at some point lost themselves along the way – lost their purpose.
They were desperate for more. But didn’t know how to stand up for themselves, set boundaries, or trust their inner knowing to find the happiness they wanted. They knew what they wanted, but didn’t know how to do it.
So, I developed resources to provide support to help everyday people like you look inward for self-discovery, healing, and inspiration. No matter where you are in your journey, intuitive life coaching can help you uncover the incredible potential within to trust yourself, follow your intuition, and rise above your troubled childhood relationships and come back home to yourself.
“How do you let go of those challenging feelings? I stand here as an example that it can be done. You can do the work. You can release the terrible feelings while still validating the ones attached to your memories”

“Jess is a natural healer. Her warmth and authenticity create a comfortable, safe environment for deep self-reflection and vulnerability. Her sessions help me access, release, and shift behaviors that no longer serve me and also empower me to move forward with conscious choice and joy. I feel lighter, more balance, and in control. She’s such a gem!”
“Passionate, relatable, safe, calm. These are words I often find myself associating with Jess as I have worked with her on my own journey. She provides a safe space to open up by sharing her own personal experiences and knowledge to help guide me through my emotions and really helps me question how I think about different parts of my life and my life journey thus far. This personal connection and safe space allows me to be more accepting of myself and to better absorb the guidance and strategies she is teaching. She is so very knowledgeable in her practice and I am so very thankful to be working with her.”
“Jess is an amazing person to go to for a healing experience! She helped me release pent up anger and grief from the childhood I experienced. The journey she took me through helped me engage with my past mother and my father. This experience was one that I will never forget and it has helped me by giving me the courage to look deeper and take the first step in healing that little girl that needed someone to care for her in the way I am now. Jess will make you feel comfortable and work with you at the level you are on and ready to confront.”
