A Cape Town-bred Medical Biochemistry Honours graduate, Jess stepped out of her comfort zone at 22 after many years of depression, anxiety and self-doubt to answer the persistent question “Who Am I?” and discover a life that was meaningful to her. Four years of travel from the Northern Lights of Norway to volunteering as a clown in refugee camps in Greece taught her that when you open your heart to life, anything is possible. She wholeheartedly believes that developing resilience allows us to experience life more fully and it is her passion to help others to see the tremendous beauty in themselves and live extraordinary lives filled with significance. She is dedicated to this purpose and has since begun a journey in Positive Psychology, as a yoga teacher, lay counsellor and a Transformation and Resilience Life Coach.
