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 & Relationship 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, passionate wholehearted being who’s devoted to meaningful transformation.

Sometimes in life you get to hang in there until that which is waiting in the ‘void’ can reveal itself.

What gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing that today I will make choices that impact future me, you, the community, and the world at large.

I believe healing and growth happen through authentic connection: with ourselves, each other, nature, and Spirit. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, accountability, and love. I support individuals and couples to move beyond old patterns, deepen self-awareness, and create healthier, more embodied relationships and lives.

For over 15 years, I’ve walked alongside individuals, couples, families, and groups across therapeutic, community, school, and wilderness settings. As my life experiences are consistently teaching me the importance of acknowledging our differences and the commonalities of the heart. My approach weaves emotional honesty, relational healing, embodiment, spiritual alignment and practical tools for lasting change.

Originally from the United States, my husband Travis and I immigrated to Aotearoa, New Zealand in 2017 after falling in love with this land years earlier and each other before that. Since then, I’ve felt deeply called to contribute, nurture the seeds of growth, and co-create spaces where people feel seen, safe, valued, and empowered to choose what their heart and soul desire.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief:
We are already and always whole. Sometimes we just forget and need support remembering who we are. We are meant to do this together.

Outside of coaching, you’ll find me in nature, dancing, baking, creating, meditating, spending time with loved ones, being in ceremony and ritual or soaking up the beauty of the outdoors.

Is FEAR getting in the way of you living life to ELEVATED POSSIBILITIES?
UNSURE HOW TO TRUST YOURSELF, YOUR DECISIONS & YOUR ABILITIES?

IF YOU ANSWERED "YES", You are not alone & Coaching could be a good fit for yoU!

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.

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

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."
