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. Jess weaves together like-minded communities from San Francisco to Bali and beyond, offering her virtual Free Your Voice programs, Permission retreats, Gospel of Love Brunches and Soul Salons. Her work has been seen in The New York Times and The London Sunday Times and has supported thousands of men and women from all walks of life in overcoming the shame, fear, and self-judgment that have inhibited their ability to discover, experience and express their feelings, their creative expression and their capacity to create intimacy with themselves and others. Her signature saying is “We don’t sing to be good. We sing to be free." Learn more about Jess’ work on her website.
