My name is Jess and I’m a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach who helps ambitious women—just like you—rediscover the strength and energy they thought they’d lost somewhere along the way. I work with women who are incredible at showing up for others—but secretly struggling to show up for themselves.
I see you. Because I was you.
I offer one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and corporate coaching for businesses that want to build a culture centered around health and wellness to boost employee retention, engagement, and productivity. No more burning out for the sake of success. Let’s create balance so you can thrive, not just survive.
My Story: A Wake-Up Call I Never Expected
In 2016, I was 35, newly married, with a beautiful 9-month-old baby girl. I got the kind of news that stops you cold: Stage 4 Peritoneal Carcinomatosis with signet ring cells, a rare and aggressive cancer that started in my appendix and spread like wildfire through my abdomen. The prognosis? Not very good. Time was of the essence. To say I felt shaken would be an understatement.
But here’s the thing: I wasn’t ready to go. Not at all.
Some tough decisions were made, and a game plan was formed. I underwent a life-saving surgery and chemotherapy regimen. It was aggressive but I was reasonably young and strong. As I was being prepped for surgery, my mind was spinning. I secretly wrote my daughter a letter, thinking I might not make it through. But as I woke up from surgery, all I could feel was an overwhelming sense of gratitude—I made it!
What followed was a whirlwind—major abdominal surgery, months of chemotherapy, and a battle that tested every part of me. But when I woke up from that surgery and realized I’d been given another chance, I made a vow: I’m not wasting a second of this life. Not for guilt, not for fear, and definitely not for other people’s comfort.
I got clear on what mattered: my daughter, my health, my voice, and the life I was meant to lead.
That moment of clarity changed my life. I realized that if I wanted to be the mom, the woman, and the person I was meant to be, I had to let go of everything that was holding me back. I wasn’t going to waste any more time living on autopilot, running on old assumptions, and letting fear of judgment keep me small.
It wasn’t just about surviving cancer—it was about living fully, unapologetically, and with a renewed sense of purpose. Healthy living (mind, body, and soul) became my new normal, and I’m here to help you do the same.
How I Help You Step Into Your Power
I’m not here to offer you quick fixes or shallow advice. I’m here to help you transform—inside and out. Over the years, I worked with coaches, counselors, and experts in everything from yoga and meditation to self-care and shadow work. I learned that in order to step fully into my power, I needed to challenge my limiting beliefs, heal emotional wounds, and embrace the power of self-compassion.
Not because I was broken, but because I was determined to live fully awake.
Eventually, I found the perfect way to turn all of this into something bigger than me: coaching.
Through accredited training and real-world experience, I built a practice that now helps women just like you come home to themselves—before life forces them to.
I bring all of this experience and wisdom to my coaching practice. Whether we’re working one-on-one or in a group setting, I’ll help you gain clarity, set goals, and build a plan to act—without guilt, without hesitation. You deserve to thrive, and I’m here to help you make it happen.
Let’s Work Together
This isn’t just a career for me. It’s a calling.
I survived something that could have taken me out—and what I gained was a deep, unshakable belief in the power of transformation.
If you feel like there’s more to life than what you’ve been settling for, I want you to know: you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.
You are wildly capable of creating a life that feels good to live.
And I would be honored to walk with you while you do it.
Let’s rise.
