A little of me and my why…

Jessica has spent her lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of healing in the name of liberation for all. This path has looked different over time and has always had the North Star of liberation within for liberation without.

Her early career was in Social Work and supporting children and families who were deeply impacted by trauma of all kind to be as healthy and whole as possible. This work was deeply meaningful. As she deepened into the work, she found her gifts in holding truly transformational space for people and this led her to pursue her license as a therapist.

And in the pursuit of the most effective tools for healing and transformation not only for her clients, but for herself as well, she was drawn to the body and became certified in Somatic Experiencing, a modality that works with the body to heal trauma at the core. This article is a helpful way to learn more about Somatic Experiencing.

As her work and own healing deepened, she was drawn to the more spiritual side of healing, she understood the mind and body and knew that there was another level, the level of the soul. This drew her to the Magdalene Rose Mystery School and the teaching of Earth Based Shamanic Medicine through the Q’ero lineage.

Today, Jessica offers transformational healing as a Medicine Woman and Somatic Coach. In her mentorship packages, she uses a blend of Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Parts Work, training as Priestess, her intuitive guidance and Shamanic Earth Based Medicine. She also offers Earth Based Medicine ceremonies in their own packages in person and online.

This work offers healing and transformation for Jessica’s clients that is truly holistic at the level of the mind, body and soul.
Her clients experience life in a whole new way, they feel empowered to truly live as their authentic selves. They live with more of their light body intact.

When people experience trauma, of any kind, it impacts their physical body as well as their energy body and soul. Jessica brings tools and facilitates healing space for all of these dimensions, the body and the soul come back into wholeness.

Jessica has chosen to no longer practice under license as a therapist because this paradigm does not align. Jessica does not diagnose mental health conditions or prescribe treatment as the expert. She aligns with you as a Medicine Woman, to support you being in your highest self, your highest timeline. She partners with you to live from your knowing and your wisdom.

Inclusive Practice

My highest held values include justice, equity, authenticity and integrity. I value creating an inclusive practice and creating a space that welcomes all bodies. I stand with, fight for and affirm the Black community, the Indigenous communities, the LBGTQ+ community, people who are differently abled and all historically excluded people. I am aware that oppressive systems are woven into people’s daily lives and part of the healing process is addressing these impacts. I am committed to using my privilege and influence to try and dismantle systems of oppression.

I am currently offering services via online platforms and in person at Moonlanding Studios in Oakland, CA.

Somatic Experiencing and the Body

All of my work integrates the use of SE and the importance of the connections between our mind, body and soul.

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body oriented modality that will help you learn how to heal from trauma and stress. Trauma from single incidents and trauma built up over time from harmful relationships and the oppressive power systems (patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism) we live in can impact your ability to live life with regulation and ease. SE can help you heal the bodies adaptive responses. This process can help you to reduce stress and return to a sense of regulation, confidence and ease in your life. SE will support you in learning how to attend to uncomfortable sensations in your body and gently unwind them through your conscious attention. If you would like to read more about SE, visit our website at www.traumahealing.org or read Waking the Tiger, Healing Trauma by Dr. Peter Levine.

Somatic Parts Work

Somatic Parts Work is another foundation of the work that we do in my coaching containers. It is informed by Internal Family Systems and Somatic IFS. The work is to connect you with your most True Self, Higher Self, Embodied Self. Most of us have wounds that are covered. by protective parts and our protective parts are often running the show for us. Protective parts look like inner critics, perfectionists, over achievers, people pleasers. These parts can be dominating. When we do somatic parts work, we bring healing to the protectors as well as the wounds underneath. This allows your most True Self to lead. For example, inner critics are able to stop being so critical and do their intended job of supporting you.

Many of my clients have found this work to be wildly transformational and allow them freedom and joy they did not know was possible. They also develop deeper understanding of they really are.

Earth Based Medicine

As a human living in this Earth, your energy body accumulates hucha, or dense energy. This energy can cause you to feel sluggish, hard to take action in your life, it can make it more difficult to be living the life you truly desire. Earth Based Medicine uses shamanic tools and ceremony to clear the hucha from your energy body and to allow your energy body to take in Sami, or clean refined energy. This allows you to live a life that is more aligned with your true purpose, and that feels fulfilling, and meaningful.

My clients who receive Earth Based Medicine report feeling lighter, more fulfilled and that they are more easily able to take the action towards their life purpose. They report feeling a true sense of unconditional love and the connection to life force flowing through them.

My teachings of Earth Based Medicine come from the Q’ero lineage which is a lineage that has maintained their practices through the atrocity of colonization and are sharing their gifts and wisdom with the world to usher in the New Earth.

What is the difference between Coaching, Therapy and Consultation?

Coaching and Mentoring

Coaching is for you if you want support in getting “unstuck” from patterns that are holding you back from achieving the life you desire.
You feel like your life is on autopilot and you want to get back to or maybe for the first time feel lit up by your own life.
You desire to connect more deeply to your life’s purpose and passions.
You have a strong inner critic that gets in the way of you feeling present and fully enjoying life.
In Coaching, you are desiring improved quality of life and while you may have depressed feelings of anxious thoughts you are not suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder.
Therapy

Therapy is for you if you desire help in healing and treating a diagnosable mental health condition such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
I am focusing on coaching in my client work. I spent many years working as a therapist and while it is very important work, I am desiring to work with woman who are seeking expansion, growth and improving quality of life vs treating mental health conditions.
If we begin working together under a coaching package and I determine you would benefit from therapy, I will refer you to a therapist who can support.
Consultation

Consultation is for you if you desire support in your leadership. This could be for you professionally or for your team.
If you desire support in creating an atmosphere that takes the wholeness and humanness of your team into the workplace.
If you desire to support your team to be at their very best in all aspects of their work and life.
