A Story of Personal Growth
"I am more aware of myself - my emotions and my reactions. This is very painful work, but it is also very beautiful because if you go to the root of the problem and get rid of it then you can be very peaceful."
- Jahnava

Meeting Jessica has been truly one of the greatest gifts of my life.
“I’ve been in psychotherapy for decades. While it helped, I was never able to move beyond general awareness of my challenges. Working with Jessica has unlocked the blind spots and propelled me to a place where I am able to implement specific grounding practices in my marriage, parenting and profession. The angst has been reduced, the anxiety feels more manageable, and my overall outlook on my future is far more buoyant and beautiful.”
