Come home to yourself

Meet Jess

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been asking big questions. 

Even as a kid, I sensed that something deeper was going on — in me, in others, in life itself. I felt both incredibly attuned and incredibly alone in that awareness. I excelled at school, sports, and all the things the world rewarded. But internally, I often felt disconnected, like I was performing a version of who I was supposed to be. 

In my teens and early twenties, a mix of unresolved trauma and emotional isolation left me anxious, dysregulated, and deeply disconnected from my body. I tried talk therapy, medication, and distraction — all helpful in their own ways, but nothing felt like it addressed the root. 

Then I found yoga. My first class cracked something open. For the first time in years, I felt a sense of ease in my body — and a quiet I didn’t know I was missing. That was the start of a decades-long exploration into mind-body practices. I trained extensively, led teacher trainings, opened my own studio, and immersed myself in the philosophy and discipline of inner practice. 

But eventually, even that began to feel incomplete. 

Despite the peace yoga offered, something was still missing. I was managing my experience, but not fully engaging with it. I had stepped back from some of the challenges — and therefore, the fullness — of being human. 

It wasn’t until I discovered nervous system healing, somatic practices and inner relational work that things began to click on a deeper level.

Suddenly, there was a framework that connected the emotional, the physical, and the energetic — offering not just insight into my patterns, but a way to meet them with presence, compassion, and space for something new to emerge.

It helped me make greater sense of my past.
It brought me into deeper connection with others.
It gave me the tools to re-enter life — fully, wholeheartedly, and with courage.

Now, I help others do the same. 

Through somatic coaching, nervous system education, and the creation of Withness — a peer-to-peer platform rooted in reflective presence — my work supports people in reconnecting to themselves, restoring their capacity, and creating lives that feel meaningful, embodied, and alive. 

This work isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.  And you don’t have to do it alone.

  • The Keystone Method

    A live, 30-day, practice-based program focused on rebuilding inner connection — helping you move from insight into lived, embodied change through your body, your emotions, your nervous system, and your heart.

The Art of Embodiment

Our inner systems shape everything — how we think, feel, relate, and respond. But most of us were never taught how to stay in relationship with our own experience, especially under pressure.

At The Art of Embodiment, we explore how real change happens not through force, but through connection — with the body, with sensation, and with the inner patterns that once helped us adapt and survive.

This work isn’t about fixing yourself or chasing perfection. It’s about learning how to relate to yourself in a way your system can actually respond to — softening survival strategies, restoring inner connection, and creating the conditions where energy can move more freely into presence, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Because when we reconnect with our inner experience, we don’t become someone new — we come back into fuller relationship with ourselves. And from that place, life tends to feel more steady, more alive, and more genuinely our own.

This isn’t self improvement — it’s self return.
