Life & Relationship coaching

Relationship Is everywhere…

How’s Yours?

“The purpose of relationship is not to have another who might complete you, but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.”
— Neale Donald Walsch

what is life coaching?

Welcome! I imagine you are here because you are curious about what else is possible and have reached the point where you are ready for change. We are typically motivated either because it has become too painful to remain the same or the opposite, we start living and know thriving is an option. We just don’t know how to get there. Whatever the reasons you find yourself searching, I’m glad you’re here and am keen to co-create with you to see how your life can get even better!

The way I see it, relationships are everywhere, and it all begins with the one we have with ourselves. How’s yours? When we heal the relationship with self, we have access to more of ourselves and expand our capacity for the goodness that’s here for you to experience.

You are supported in achieving an even more fulfilling, passionate and balanced life. We do this together by compassionately exploring your beliefs, values/virtues, patterns of behaviors, parts that are ready to be integrated & masculine/feminine energies that are either aiding you in what you want or are keeping you stuck in habits that are no longer in your highest alignment. You set specific goals and achieve them with committed action.  Coaching assists you in getting "a ha" moments or epiphanies and connecting with greater awareness. 

What Coachee’s experience…

“I feel great today. I feel like clarity is in my mind, even tho I still don’t know the destination.  Barriers don’t seem so crushing today and my mind is definitely calmer.” -Craig

“My coaching sessions with Jessica continue to transform my life and my relationships. Despite using video conferencing software for our sessions, I continue to feel held whether I'm feeling small and wounded, dark and fierce, bright and powerful and everything in between. She asks me meaningful and thought provoking questions while reminding me to trust my intuition and to add more play and joy into my life. She meets me on spiritual and physical realms and guides me in applying our sessions to my life currently. I highly recommend her services and am grateful for all she's given and continues to provide for me and others.” -Molly

“Within one session of working with you guys our relationship is already changing! We are starting to actually hear one another. He’s more patient and I’m more kind. I can tell we are starting to heal. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

-Couple falling in love again

There are other options besides going in a circle…

Sometimes all we need is someone or something to interrupt the pattern and assist in spiraling upwards.

How do we co-create this?!

It is my role and honour to be curious, provide skills and be creative to lovingly reconnect you to your wisdom.  I use my whole being (mind, body, heart, and spirit connection) alongside my training to guide you in accessing your inner knowing. Unsure about this wisdom and knowing I’m talking about? That’s okay, most of us are re-learning that we can be safe AND listen to ourselves.  You’ll receive helpful skills to supplement your journey and assist you in shining your brilliance more clearly and consistently. I am also continuing to learn more about dōTERRA essential oils as an additional tool to support you in utilising them in mood and health regulation. 

Ready to have someone on your side and invested in you thriving? I will cheer you on, be your accountability partner, and lovingly hold boundaries with you to assist in the breakthroughs you are seeking.  Together, we will boldly step into the responsibility of dreaming into the world we wish to live in.

Part of what allows coaching to be transformative, outside of your dedication to create change, is the relationship between coach and coachee.  It is important that we are a good fit and you feel safe, validated, and celebrated.

About Jessica

 

I AM...

A Powerful, Loving, Responsible, Whole, Worthy Being! With that being said, I am also a Passionate, Divine, Heart-Centered, Curious, & Compassionately Skilled Coach!

What gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing that today I will make choices that impact future me, the community, you, and the world at large.  I declare my choices to be grounded in love and trust, & co-created with Divinity.  Do I sometimes trip over the stories, beliefs, patterns that tell me I’m not good enough?  Sure do.  Like you, I am human, with my own backstory, my own hurdles to jump over, and my own unique gifts and purpose in this world.  Even though there are moments I slide back into status quo, I then get to remember who I AM, and choose again.  Who are you? I smile envisioning a world where we all choose our infinite wholeness and manifest from a place of unconditional love.  This is the vision I hold while we co-create.  

I entered into the field of therapy, and now coaching, because I love people and I witness the daily struggle of humanity and believe a different life IS possible.  I am passionate about co-creating healthy connections in relationship with self, others, Spirit, the masculine/feminine, and nature.  During the past ten plus years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, and groups in wilderness, school, home, and community settings. 
After spending 10 months in New Zealand in 2012, I knew I was destined to return.  In May 2017 my husband, Travis, (who supports me in offering couples coaching to you-see services) and I immigrated to New Zealand from America.  I return with an eagerness to be in contribution, add value to whatever I do, heal relationships and nurture the seeds of growth.  My life experiences are consistently teaching me the importance of acknowledging our differences and the commonalities of the heart.
Outside of work, I can be found trekking, baking, boogie boarding, meditating, watching a show and using expressive arts.  I love celebrating life through freeform dancing, DIYing natural products and enjoying time with friends, whānau, and the outdoors.

CHOOSE TO BE IN YOUR LIFE’S FLOW

Your perception of me is a reflection of you. My response to you generates an awareness of me. We are all interconnected. Let’s grow our awareness together and see ourselves with loving compassion.

Your perception of me is a reflection of you. My response to you generates an awareness of me. We are all interconnected. Let’s grow our awareness together and see ourselves with loving compassion.

You will find that I have a "you" centered approach.  Meaning, I believe that you are the expert on you, and my role is to be the expert in assisting you in knowing what options and choices are available.  You cannot NOT change, for change is the only constant in life.  How you change, is up to you. One of the first steps to consciously transforming, is awareness of the stories, patterns and behaviors that are creating your reality. Though this sounds simple, it takes courage to even consider this possibility.

“ What’s often between where we are right now and our dream life is our beliefs. It’s a mindset thing.” -Naomi Mdudu

Access Consciousness Bars®

Exchange:
Starting at $120 for 60-75 Min. Session

Access Bars® are 32 points on your head that, when gently touched, effortlessly, and
easily release anything that stops you from feeling joy and ease in your life.
These points contain all the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, emotions, and considerations
you have stored over this lifetime and previous lifetimes.  These belief systems,
points of view and judgements may no longer be aligned to you and are holding you back
from living a life of ease and authenticity.  Who does that belief belong to anyway?  Was it passed
down to you from your parents, your friends, your community?  Is it Your Truth or just something you didn’t realise you don’t HAVE TO believe?
WHAT TO EXPECT:

+Brief discussion before to explore intention and check-in at the end of session.

+Lie down comfortably on your back, fully clothed. While I softly place my finger tips on various points on your head providing hands on healing “running bars” while your awareness of your thoughts, your consciousness of your belief systems, can let go and believe into new possibilities! You are creating a life free of the judging mind.

OFFERing INDIVIDUALs (adults & adolescents), COUPLEs, & Group COACHING.  

I know that you did not get to be who we are overnight. We have had a lifetime of events and choices that make us who we are today.  And, it is through the decisions of the now, that YOU get to have a say in who you are tomorrow.

This is a no-obligation conversation.  It is an opportunity for you to gain clarity, ask questions, share about your desired outcomes, see if we are a good fit, and receive tools to be in action and achieve what you want.

TESTIMONIALS

 

“I am grateful of the sessions I have completed with Jessica and found her to be a very beautiful nurturing person that provides support, direction and unconditional love-which I realise I haven't really experienced a lot of in my life-so again thank you.”

-Male Coachee, Taranaki New Zealand

"With Jessica I've enjoyed one of the most profound experiences of connectedness.  She's caring, resourceful, sharp, empowering and absolutely respectful, with an intense "spiritual presence". Vibrant and deep, she gracefully allies strong intuition and technique, genuinely honouring my individuality while facilitating an insightful connection to what is true, absolute, and good in me. She's a force of nature."

-Renato Mendonca, New Zealand

Honestly the best experience I’ve had working with a life coach. I feel like I’m in a safe place every appt we have together. Recommend her to everyone!
