Do not let your emotions define you! 

Empower yourself and your team with the skills to stay in charge.

What I Offer

Our emotions often feel elusive and overwhelming.  I will work with your group, non-profit, organization or corporation with a simple and relatable approach to help you understand the concepts of emotional regulation. You will learn how to implement simple strategies to shift your mindset and behaviors to create a healthier relationship with yourself and those around you.  

I offer a cost-effective solution to bring practical tools to navigate stress, unlock the power of emotional balance and build emotional resilience to thrive in every situation. I will meet with you to identify areas to develop and create a unique workshop, training session or presentation that is tailored to meet your needs.  

There are many possible ways I can offer support.  In our planning session we can explore the options of a one-time keynote speaking engagement, small group workshops, and/or team development and maintenance work over a period of time with team and/or individual meetings to track progress and growth.  I am flexible and open to your ideas and suggestions.

  • “We had the privilege of welcoming Jessica to our AAU girls' basketball program for a presentation on the importance of mental health.  She not only possessed a deep understanding of mental health and effective strategies for improvement, but also had an incredible ability to connect with each age group in a meaningful way.  Jessica tailored her message perfectly to our coaches and athletes, spanning grades 5 through 11, ensuring that everyone left with valuable insights and practical tools to support their well-being both on and off the court. Her engaging and compassionate approach made complex topics accessible, and her ability to foster a safe and open discussion was truly remarkable.  We highly recommend Jessica to any person or organization looking for an engaging and knowledgeable speaker on mental health.”
