Hi there, I'm Jess
Suffice to say, I know what it's like to have the outside of your life looking pretty good, and to be filled with self-criticism, stress and overwhelm on the inside.
Mainstream psychology offered medication and tools to "manage" my "lifelong disorders".
On the outside I was a gregarious lawyer at a top-tier firm.
On the inside, I was completely disassociated from my body and at the mercy of my relentless mind. I suffered for over 15 years with clinically-diagnosed eating disorders, anxiety and OCD.
Family cuddles, multiple cups of tea, gentle stretches on my verandah
Bush-walking, devouring a good book, hanging with my daughter
Cancel culture, busyness, hating on men, lifelong labels
Ease, play, femininity, little miracles, self-honesty and self-compassion
I embarked on a personal odyssey exploring different modalities to heal my childhood trauma and "disorders", and create a life on my own terms.
This led to a change of career as I studied positive psychology at City University in London and trained as a coach at the global Co-Active Training Institute.
For the last eleven years I've been helping high-achieving women to find freedom from their busy minds and create a life that is their own kind of wonderful.
I often joke that I'm the most intuitive, sensitive person in any boardroom
... and the most skeptical, practical person in any goddess women's circle.
I love to blend intuitive spiritual practices with neuroscience and practical, real-life strategies for a potent and unique coaching approach.
