As a transformational facilitator and musical storyteller, Jess creates compelling invitations for people to interact with life from an open heart. In a world where so many are longing for deeper levels of connection, authentic expression and intimacy, Jess uses her humor, music, movement practices and storytelling to effectively weave a "spell" of love and connection that reveals relatable aspects of the human experience that penetrate and crack open the hearts of those who are touched by her presence.
