About jess
I have been a seeker since before I recognized what that meant. As a Gemini rising, I was born curious. My mother loves to tell about how she would brace herself when she heard my tiny little voice piping up to pepper her with a million questions about how the world works, only a fraction of which most people would have the answer to. This blossoming quest for knowledge evolved into an insatiable inquisitiveness around people and their stories. There's nothing I love more than sitting down with someone and weaving together the narrative of their life with them.
My interest in human emotion wasn't far behind in my development than my curiosity. It was inevitable; with my moon in Scorpio, my emotions run deep. I have always had both the blessing of marvelling at the extraordinary beauty that the world contains and the curse of feeling the depths of its pain right to my core. This was rarely easy for me as a child, and I believe that is why many of the clients that find me are the ones also trying to make sense of their uncanny ability to sense the absolute extremes of ecstasy and agony. In some ways, I was always destined to be a therapist, supporting people in their investigations into the deepest recesses of their souls to find the healing potential lying dormant there…just waiting to be awoken.
As I have walked my own path, I have connected deeper with my Sun sign, Aquarius. This is the part of me that contains a profound and enduring love for humanity that solidly underlines the sense of meaning and purpose in the work that I do. I believe that by combining astrology and counselling, I am on a mission to contribute to the awakening of the world, one individual healing journey at a time. I am passionate about teaching these tools, and helping others to discover their unique gifts in a way that ripples out into a cascade of pure goodness for the world. People matter to me - not just those individuals whose lives I touch directly, but the ones their lives touch, and the ones their lives touch and so on.
