Personal Biography:
Jessica’s personal conviction is that we all have innate capacity to heal and grow beyond what we believe possible. She believes that while we acquire habits and patterns in our lives we later find we are ready to leave behind, giving ourselves permission and grace to care for ourselves may not come so readily. Jessica aims to provide support to individuals and groups to access this vast potential to develop more functional ways to respond to stress, let go of what no longer serves us, and relate to our lives with greater ease. During her teens and early 20s, Jessica suffered severe panic attacks and depression. With no early access to professional support and surrounded by the stigmatization of mental health, she did not find help until early adulthood. Until then, yoga and meditation provided grounding and helped Jessica relate to her body in healthier ways. Art-making also served as a refuge. Jessica approaches recovery and healing from an integrative approach, because it’s what keeps her feeling whole. She is guided by her daily personal yoga and sitting meditation practice. Jessica’s dog, Juniper, inspires her to recognize the power of unconditional love, let go of expectations, stay present, trust innate wisdom, and embrace joy as it arises.
