Client Testimonials
Words of Transformation
Jaci S.
"Working with Jessica I was able to first acknowledge and then verbalize a list of all the value I bring to the table. Making this list showed me that how I show up for others is my gift, and one that I haven't been giving myself credit for. That, and learning about The Eight Pillars of Happiness were incredibly beneficial in our coaching relationship."
Chantal P.
"From my coaching experience with Jessica, I gained more confidence in my voice. She allowed me to realize that my unique background and experience has worth because we all live different lives. My story is different and can help others live better lives too. That switch in perspective helped me feel more comfortable speaking in public and sharing who I am."
Tara W.
"With Jessica I was able to have meaningful conversations to gain a better understanding of my criteria for a fulfilling career to pursue. She asked the tough questions and guided me in the direction of discovering for myself the answers I needed to move in the direction of a meaningful career. The ease of conversation was the most beneficial part of this partnership."
Show up with confidence and intention every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Coaching empowers people by helping them make, meet, and exceed goals in both their personal and professional lives. It is about working together to create a realistic and exciting path that helps you thrive.
What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
Therapists hold up a diagnostic manual. Coaches hold up a mirror. Therapy may involve spending lots of time unraveling the past. Coaching focuses on your past only insofar as it impacts your current behavior and future goals.
Why should I choose you?
This decision is about how you want to best grow moving forward. Research shows that the quality of the relationship you have with your coach is one of the strongest predictors of successful treatment so you should choose who you feel most comfortable with. If that's me, great! If it's another coach, great!
