Hi, my name is Jess.

A little bit about me…

I grew up in Maine. I currently live in Dublin,NH with my husband and two of our three children. I have a 23 year old son who lives in Colorado, a 17 year old daughter and a 13 year old son. We have 2 dogs; Paul and Willie Nelson.

My family is my greatest joy, my greatest teacher and my greatest practice… I am wildly in love with them all!

I have been a massage therapist since 2008. I love learning from my clients and continually working on deeper ways to connect with them.

I took my first meditation class when I was 18 (30 years ago!). My best friend’s father was my first teacher.

In 2013 a devastating loss left me broken and exhausted… it was the gift of mindfulness that seeped into those cracks and let the light in.. allowing me to begin to heal.

I have been practicing mindfulness and meditation every single day since then… it is a vital part of my life and my well-being.

In 2023 I started an intense and life changing journey to becoming a certified mindfulness meditation teacher and coach. It sacred me, challenged me, and ultimately embraced me…I am honored and humbled to be among the other teachers in this Insight Meditation lineage.

I am grateful to have had so many wonderful, wise and compassionate teachers over the last 12 years and am eager to continue learning from them.

I love the ocean.

I love being outside.

I am learning to play again.

I love sitting by my the wood stove in the winter, sipping tea and knitting scarves (because that’s all I know how to knit).

I am a very shy introvert, I am really good at finding the quiet corner at the party and I love spending time alone… but I also LOVE connection. It’s what keeps my heart open and filled up!

I love everything about mindfulness and meditation and could talk for hours on end about it… just ask my husband :)

I am learning how to follow the path that makes me feel wildly alive… it scares me AND it makes my heart soar!
