My story
Hi, I’m Jessie.
I am a teacher, mindfulness facilitator, Reiki practitioner and certified life coach.
While I have always known that I was a teacher, I didn’t always grasp the lack of wellness supports in the industry and beyond. Our society has become so focused on going, doing, then doing some more, that our human selves end up getting left behind. We strive, push through, ignore and resist. We develop anxiety, become depressed, and soon stress overtakes us. It becomes chronic.
I know because I was there.
Deeply in burnout, I found there was zero culture of wellness in my profession or around me. I had reached my edge (and then some) and was experiencing a prominent decline in my health. I felt stuck, uncertain and ridden with guilt. I was forced to stop everything. But you shouldn’t have to.
After years of healing, certifications and learning by experience, I came to understand how important lifestyle wellness is. I’ve developed an approach that allows you to receive, feel nurtured, develop self-care, and come back home to you.
I support women to reconnect to themselves through workshops, courses and 1-1 sessions.
Whether you’re starting to feel the disconnect build or you’ve been out at sea for a while, I am here to help you journey back home. Through nurturing and heart-led guidance, empowering you to thrive in this life.
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
