Hello, I’m Jessica. As a busy wife, mother, and college professor, I have a lot of opportunities to witness the chaos of daily life. If that wasn’t enough, I decided to pursue additional certifications in yoga, Reiki, holistic nutrition, therapeutic drumming, astrology, and biofeedback. I know that sounds like a lot, but believe me, I love how I spend my time!
This site is focused on combining my education, research, and experiences into a simple and user-friendly format. I believe that people are capable of achieving their goals if they can see what is standing in their way. The information on this site will help you see yourself more clearly. With that, you will be able to decide when and how to make the changes you want to make.
