Jessica, born and raised in the PNW in Washington, has been living off-grid in Baja California Sur, Mexico with her husband and son since 2013.

 In her “previous” life she worked as a pharmacy technician for twenty years, and a licensed massage practitioner for fifteen. While she was an exceptional pharmacy technician, her true gifts are in the healing realm, which she discovered while practicing massage. She knew intuitively what to do or where the pain really was and when the patient’s mindset was inhibiting her to help them at all. 

Her love of writing began as a child writing to her grandparents. In high school, her circle of friends wrote angsty poetry about boys and love as their lives played out the drama that high school can be. Jessica and her high school bestie would craft six page, front and back, hand written pages during class that they would hand off to each other between classes. Post-high school, letters turned into newsletters that she would mail to family and friends. As life unfolded, she realized that writing a book was not so much an option, but a calling. Something she had to do.

She feels most on purpose when she is helping others navigate the challenges of life. She’s had friends tell her that she helped them progress more in a handful of conversations than they had in three months of therapy. She wants to assist fellow relationship-strugglers in their quest for better relationships, starting with their relationship with themselves. 

Her book is about relationships. The one she has with herself. Those that she chose based on her conditioning, beliefs and experiences. Relationships that decided the path she would take, and others that changed her. A little childhood trauma birthed some dysfunction that ultimately led to growth and healing.

Self-love. Unrequited-love. And, eventually, the the kind of love we all want to find, but aren’t sure it’s really possible.

She wants to help others navigate to the root of what is not working in their relationships so they, too, can have better, healthier relationships.
