You were calm and kept things moving in a way I felt super safe and it was easy, way easier than I thought.

I love how personal, loving and inclusive you are. Just so good.

Three things every course, retreat and workshop stands on

Safety

You might wonder why we do all the extra steps. When it comes to safety and good spiritual hygiene, I'm pretty extra about it. To go deep and be as effective as possible, the work has to be safe. That matters for your health and wellbeing, and you simply can't make the fullest shifts unless it's safe to do so. I want everyone happy and healthy, not getting rolled from opening themselves up to something poorly put together.

Ease and effectiveness

Some of the courses may seem simple and easy. That's exactly how they're meant to feel. Making them that way took years of experience and plenty of questing behind the scenes, so they can be easy, effective and efficient for you. You don't need to be far along your path: unless a course says otherwise, they're fine for beginners. And if you've been working in the realms for a while, they'll still bring you something new, and may help your own work beyond the course too.

Highest good

Every course is set with the intention of the highest good: your own personal highest good, and the highest good of all.

Your guide, Jess

Jess has been on her spiritual quest for quite a while now. For the last ten or so years she has been a teacher, a healer and a mentor, and always, ever the student.

With a wide curiosity and an incredible team beside her, her skills have grown both broadly and deeply. She works with the earth, the land, water and sky; with people, dragons, phoenix and other beings of the earth and beyond; and runs healing workshops with galactics. All the while guiding people, helping them heal, and learning.

The journey has been scary at times and arduous at times. It has also been joyous, incredible, painful and uplifting, and so much more. If you know, you know. What it has given Jess is a ‘very specific set of skills’, and she has poured them into the courses and retreats you'll find here.

Beyond the spiritual work

In her ‘professional’, not-so-spiritual career, Jess started out in graphic design, art direction, and product design and development. She then moved into start-ups, building businesses in the UK, Europe and the USA and travelling extensively. She has served on charitable boards, and more recently has been working in business consulting and business improvement.

Jess loves her garden, walking up a river or wandering through a forest, standing on a mountain or sitting on a beach. She and her Staffordshire terrier can be found in many places, helping places and people wherever the work needs to be done.

I had a thought the other day. It's like I've been through all the pain and the hard stuff, so that it can be easy for other people.

Jess

So take advantage of that expertise. The courses are approachable by design. Each one has been tried and tested, and has found its way to you so you can be supported on your journey.

I freed my red fire dragon, she seemed so happy and energetic, dancing all around.

Retreats and workshops

Time together, in person. Retreats are a few days away; workshops are shorter, focused sessions.

Nothing is scheduled just yet

Leave your name and email and we'll let you know when new retreats and workshops are announced.

I don't know what's up with this but I felt superhuman. Ready for anything. I could take on anything. Thanks.

Ask about a personal session

Personal sessions with Jess

There are a limited number of one-on-one sessions for healing, training or mentoring.

Fair warning: they're not cheap, and they're not for everyone. But for people in the right part of their journey, who are truly prepared to do the work, they can be life-altering.

Share a little about yourself, and if a session feels right, you'll hear back.

What are you looking for? Choose as many as you like.

It was so beautiful to connect with my dragon and journey in getting more details, and even the name dropped really quickly, and it was super clear.

Intuitive Symbology

Jess has also created a range of clothing and personal items carrying powerful, intentional symbols to support your healing and spiritual journey. They range from protection (perfect for large gatherings or serious land and people work) through to symbols designed to support your body in its own healing.

Personalised symbols are available too.
