Welcome to my coaching page which interweaves my background in science and teaching with my calling to help you tell your story. In my practice, you will engage your body, heart, and mind in a meaningful and grounded way. I offer writing coaching and use writing as a healing modality to revisit past wounds, unearth possibility, and find clarity and direction. I am a certified yoga teacher (RYT-200) with a focus on Yin Yoga and received my Professional Coaching Certificate in 2021.
Please check out my offerings below. I look forward to working with you!

Workshop Testimonials
This was one of the most amazing workshops I have ever attended. So glad I signed up -It was everything I had hoped for …but even more. Well organized, well paced.
Student, Bow Sanctuary
I’ve been taking writing classes online for the last couple years. I often feel pulled to write, but then it’s a slog. Your class was the first time I found the joy. It feels like such a gift.
Hugo House students
Jessica created such a supportive and generative environment that made workshopping not nearly as scary as it can be.
Literacy Support
Lifelong literacy is important and I love helping people of all ages fall in love with the written word and overcome challenges with reading, such as dyslexia—a specific learning disability that is neurobiological in origin.
As part of my practice, I offer youth workshops, Writing Revolution-related curriculum, Orton-Gillingham (OG)-inspired tutoring, Tattum Reading Method for K-12, and Executive Functioning Skills training.
Available Fall 2026.
