We’re here as your motivators and fellow health and lifestyle buffs, sharing what we’ve learned (and continue to learn) to help make healthy living feel doable and fun.

A former travel guide shaped by her adventures, she’s passionate about helping people live fully and authentically. Jessica is a dog mom, lifelong fiction reader and newbie bass guitar player, certified health coach, and self-proclaimed health nerd who has navigated Hashimoto’s while experimenting with countless diets before landing on a balanced, non-restrictive way of eating that feels good for her.
