Hello, I'm Jessica

I worked as a teacher for many years in California, and abroad in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia, and am now based in Oregon. 

I witnessed big shifts in student attention and behavior when I incorporated regular meditation and yoga into the classroom. I felt called to explore this more. 

I became a yoga instructor and studied Ayurveda. My intention is to help people feel great, find optimal health, and heal themselves in an empowered  way through one on one sessions and courses.

    My Story

    Living in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia I combined my passion for community, service work, and education as a teacher, a volunteer, and rural development worker.  

    During a personal crisis I discovered the power of meditation and yoga. Although challenging at first, regular practice of yoga and meditation made me feel more calm and balanced.  I  noticed a big positive shift in my physical health and was able to manage the anxiety that I had suffered for many years. 

    I had a very full life, but after my daughter was born I was no longer interested in working so many hours as a teacher. I boldly stepped out of my comfort zone to follow a more authentic path honoring my natural gifts as a healer. I became a yoga instructor and then an Ayurveda Practitioner. 

    I had suffered for years with digestion issues and had tried many different approaches, but after incorporating Ayurvedic recipes and practices in my life I have a completely different digestive system!
