Welcome to the

Inspired Path

where creativity and consciousness guide your journey of healing and self-discovery.

What is The Inspired Path?

In The Inspired Path Membership & Community, we believe that creativity and consciousness are intertwined—two sides of the same sacred coin. When you honor your self-expression and follow your intuition, you unlock doors to your healing, your purpose, and your power.

This membership is designed to help artists and intuitives build confidence, find courage, and experience creative exploration as a restorative way of reconnecting with themselves. Inside, you’ll receive exclusive access to monthly workshops where creativity merges with self-growth and deep conscious healing, live virtual artmaking gatherings with fellow community members, and foundational lessons to strengthen your artmaking skills and trust in your creative process.

Heartfelt Testimonials...

“We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Jessica on many occasions, both private and public. Jess was recommended to us by a customer and when we heard about her and what she does we were immediately intrigued. As soon as we met Jess in person, we knew we had just met someone we were excited to work with on both a professional and personal level.

First, we held a private group Aura reading with her, to get a feel for her process and what we could tell our customers to expect whenever they had a reading with her. It was such a lovely, life changing experience! She was spot on with everyone, and not afraid to be upfront and honest with what she was seeing and what it meant and how you could then work with that energy to best benefit you or make a change where needed.

When taking classes with Jess, she lays it all out and explains everything in a way that is clear and easy to understand. She encourages interaction and helping you learn to become more confident and comfortable in yourself and your own intuitive abilities. She also gives you exercises that you can take with you and use in your everyday life.

Working with Jess has helped us grow immensely, in business and in our own personal lives, as we can take the things we learned from Jess and put them into action to help ourselves, as well as our customers along their own spiritual journey.

We highly recommend Jess! We are confident in the fact that anything she comes up with is for the betterment of our community as a whole. She has a lot of gifts and knowledge to offer, and we are excited to be a part of her journey and bringing her gifts to the community!”

Guided by an Experienced Art Teacher and Intuitive, Holistic Practitioner

I’ve always loved art—so much so that I became an art teacher. For me, creating was a safe space to process whatever I was feeling; it was deeply therapeutic. Over the years, I’ve discovered that intuitive aura artwork, combined with intentional self-care practices like meditation, Reiki, and mindset work, has become my go-to practice for clarity, healing, and self-expression—a sacred form of manifestation where my inner energy, emotions, and intentions take shape on the canvas and begin to unfold in my life.

I’m excited to guide you on your own creative journey—helping you reconnect with your inner artist, explore your intuition, and use creativity as a path to personal and spiritual growth. Together, we’ll nurture your creative confidence, honor your unique expression, and uncover the joy, freedom, and healing that art can bring.

I can’t wait to welcome you inside The Inspired Path and support you as you awaken your creative spirit!

Stories of Transformation

Before creating The Inspired Path, Jess spent years guiding creativity and self-discovery as an art teacher before expanding her work as an energy healer, intuitive coach, and aura artist. Her passion has always been the same—nurturing creativity, emotional growth, and authentic self-expression.

The reflections shared here come from those she’s had the honor to guide—students and clients who discovered healing, inspiration, and empowerment through art and energy work.

Whether you identify as an intuitive or artist, these stories offer a glimpse into the sacred space Jess holds inside The Inspired Path—where your growth is honored, your voice matters, and your creativity is medicine.

“I had Jess as my art teacher for most of my middle and high school career, including during a pivotal time in 2019 when my nana passed away. That loss sparked a shift in my art—suddenly, it became deeply personal. Jess didn’t overanalyze and criticize my work. She just gave it space. She made me feel seen, respected, and safe to process grief through my work without judgment or pressure to make it look a certain way.

Her teaching was grounded and ego-free. Jess didn’t care if something was “good” in the traditional sense—if you were putting in time and intention, she respected that. She taught us to trust the process and our own instincts. She didn’t dictate; she guided. That approach helped me take creative risks and stop fearing imperfection.

Jess also fostered a strong sense of community in the classroom. It wasn’t competitive or cliquey. Everyone’s voice and skill level were equally valid. She modeled respect, and it set the tone for how we treated each other’s work. The space felt honest, safe, and open.

Three words to describe her teaching: grounded, empowering, respectful. Jess helped me realize that my art didn’t need to be perfect to be powerful—it just needed to be real. I’d recommend working with her in any creative or healing space, because she knows how to meet people where they are and help them find meaning in what they’re making.”

Hannah Bradley

Artist

Jess has a calm, supportive, warm demeanor that puts you instantly at ease. She truly cares about your success and creates an environment that allows you to find your own way, make your own connections, and set your own intentions with her gentle guidance. Her practical exercises open up soul searching, as well as give you actionable steps to incorporate positive changes in your life. I highly recommend Jess and her services! She will move you in the most beautiful ways.”

Robyn Post

NonProfit Program Manager

“Throughout high school, I’ve struggled to make friends, especially friends who supported me as a queer transgender man. I’ve always expressed myself through art, and having a teacher who was kind and generous meant a lot to me. Mrs. Madenford watched me grow as a person and supported me every step of the way.

Her classroom was always a safe place for me, no matter what kind of day I was having. She made me feel seen every time I walked into the art room. I was incredibly grateful to have her not only as my mentor but also as a friend I could look up to.”

Keith Barnes

Artist

“I’ve always had a bad habit of shutting down when I feel stressed and overwhelmed. I would procrastinate and find things to comfort me in the moment creating more stress overall. Jessica has helped to calm my fears and gave me the tools and support I needed to not only get things done, but to do it in such a way that I no longer feel stressed and out of control. If you are having trouble with your goals, I highly recommend connecting with Jess.”

Kristin Hermann

Parks & Recreation Leader

“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!”

What People Are Saying About Jess’s Meditations

Jess’s calming, Reiki-infused meditations—on Insight Timer and YouTube—help you release, ground, and reconnect, with exclusive tracks available inside The Inspired Path to support your creative and spiritual flow.

The Inspired Path is more than a membership — it’s a sacred journey of return.
Return to your voice. Your intuition. Your innate creativity.
It begins with a spark — a quiet call to something deeper, more aligned, more you.

You’ve likely spent years tending to others — roles, expectations, responsibilities.
You’ve tried to fix, adjust, or prove.
But something inside knows: the most profound shift begins within.

Here, on The Inspired Path, you are invited to step off the well-worn trail of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and inherited patterns. Instead, you step into a sanctuary — a place where creativity becomes your compass, and healing becomes your liberation.

This is where we dissolve the idea that art lives only on the canvas.
Because you — your thoughts, your energy, your presence — are the living art.
Your life is your masterpiece.
Your choices, your healing, your truth — your sacred palette.

Still have some questions? Let’s clear them up!

Before enrolling in The Inspired Path, we invite you to explore the most commonly asked questions below. This sacred journey is all about reconnecting with your creative flow, deepening your intuition, and honoring your spiritual path. Take a moment to reflect on the information here, so you can step into your divine expression with clarity and confidence.

What materials do I need to get started?

Start simple—with a pencil, pen, and sketchbook—and grow your collection as you explore. Inside the membership, you’ll find mini-lessons on different materials so you can experiment, discover what you love, and build your toolkit at your own pace.

Do I have to be an artist to join? What if I’m not “good” at art?

You don’t need to be an artist—or even feel “good” at art—to join. This membership is about art as an intuitive, soulful process, not perfection. You’ll find beginner-friendly, bite-sized lessons that introduce materials, techniques, and creative exercises to help you feel comfortable and confident as you explore. With gentle guidance and space to play, you’ll gradually reconnect with your unique creative voice—no experience required.

How much time do I need to dedicate each week? Do I need to follow a set order?

The Inspired Path is designed to move with you, not against you. At the beginning of each month, you’ll receive a new guided workshop with practices and creative prompts to explore at your own pace. There are no schedules or deadlines—you’re free to follow the monthly themes in order or skip around and dive into whatever feels most aligned with your journey right now.

What kind of device do I need for the classes, workshops, and live sessions?

You can access the membership anytime on any device—laptop, tablet, or phone—so whether you’re creating at the kitchen table, joining a gathering on the go, or journaling with a meditation, you’ll always be supported.

Is this art therapy?

No—this membership is not a substitute for licensed art therapy. Instead, it’s a guided journey of personal and spiritual growth that combines art instruction, intuitive artmaking, energy work, and inner connection. While it doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, it nurtures your creativity while supporting your emotional, spiritual, and energetic well-being in deeply empowering ways.

What are Jess's credentials?

Jess brings over 20 years of experience helping others awaken their inner artist—through classrooms, workshops, and professional development. A certified PreK–12 Art Teacher with dual Master’s degrees in Education and Art Education, she’s also a trauma-informed educator who has guided adults of all ages to reconnect with creativity in empowering ways.

Beyond teaching, Jess is a Master NLP Practitioner, Reiki practitioner, intuitive medium, energy artist, and certified life coach. The membership reflects this multifaceted path—blending art, intuition, and spirituality to nurture healing, growth, and transformation on every level while keeping you grounded in the joy of creating.

How long is the membership? Can I join for just one month or do I have to commit to an entire year?

Your journey is uniquely yours, and true transformation takes time. That’s why this membership invites you to commit to a full year—so you can grow at your own pace, receive ongoing support, and allow lasting change to unfold. This isn’t just a subscription, but a sacred investment in your creativity, healing, and spiritual path.

Is this work at your own pace? I would love to do this, but my schedule is not always flexible.

Yes, absolutely—this membership is designed to honor your schedule and rhythm. With self-paced classes, lessons, and workshops, you can explore whenever it feels right—whether it’s 15 minutes in the morning or a quiet evening each week. Guidance is included to help you choose where to begin, but ultimately, you’re free to follow your own inspired pace in this sacred space for creativity, healing, and reconnection.
