Transformational Ceremonies for Women
“Transformation is not accomplished by tentative wading at the edge.”
~ Robin Wall Kimmerer, Author of "Braiding Sweetgrass"
You have the power to transform the way you think, act, and feel.
When you courageously engage your own curiosity and ask yourself “How can I live more fully?” you know you are ready to move beyond contemplation and take action. It is often the next step that requires the most of you - the journey of self-inquiry; observing and learning how to make changes that will become integrated in your being for the long haul.
The depth of nature-centered mentoring I offer invites you to pause, reflect, bring yourself to an edge (a new place that begs you to stretch and learn), expand, and keep going. At your edge you gain awareness of who and how you want to be in your many roles. You become clear about what is holding you back as you gather the energy, tools, and perspective to grow and lead.
Moving beyond your edge requires a whole-hearted desire for transformation - a longing to do things better, connect more deeply, and stand taller with a compassionate heart and eager mind. I am here to support your journey.
My approach guides you to reflect on and hone your perspective and energetic field. Along your journey you will grow your consciousness and deepen your resonance with nature. You will be guided through spiritual practices at a pace that is steady, inspiring and often requiring a nudge. Ultimately your innate knowing of yourself becomes magnified, making it natural for you to exist from your center.
Core practices for your expansion:
✓ Slowing Down
✓ Self-Inquiry
✓ Energetic Attunement
✓ Empowered Communication
✓ Physical & Energetic Centering
✓ Nature Awareness & Connection
✓ Grounding & Clearing Techniques
✓ Establishing Rhythms & Rituals
✓ Holding boundaries
✓ Identifying Values & Needs
✓ Embodying Confidence
✓ Building Cultural Responsiveness
✓ Sourcing From Trust and Integrity
✓ Utilizing the cycles & elements of nature for reflection and growth

“Jess’ wisdom, sense of humor and playful spirit far surpasses anyone I’ve ever worked with. She has an innate ability to take the messages of nature and reflect them back to you in a way that is relatable, beautiful, and with such truth. Working with Jess always leaves me with a sense of peacefulness and with a better understanding of myself, my present situation, and my connection to the earth. She is a gem beyond compare!”
- Alicia Rothman
