Hey, I’m Jess! I help messy, healing women rebuild trust with themselves so they can parent (and live) from a steadier place.

I used to think “normal” meant pretending everything was fine until it shattered. I learned the hard way that pretending heals nothing. I’m a certified family life coach and a mom who’s crawled through trauma recovery, nervous-system chaos, and generational patterns. I’m also a survivor of a childhood that left plenty of bandages and a few unanswered questions. I’m honest about all of it because I want the women who find me to know: you don’t have to tidy your trauma to be worthy of help.

I believe nervous systems matter more than motivational quotes. I believe boundaries saved my life. And I believe Jesus shows up in the sticky, complicated, human parts — not just the Pinterest-perfect ones.

My short version (for the skimmers)

• I’m a coach for cycle-breakers, moms, and women who are heart-deep in recovery and tired of the same old scripts.
• I bring trauma-informed tools, nervous-system education, and real-life parenting strategies delivered without shame or fluff.
• I homeschool, I podcast, I cry in voice notes, and I will tell you what you need to hear with compassion and zero sugarcoating.

The long version (because stories bring us closer)

Growing up, love and safety were unreliable. I learned to make myself small to survive. As an adult, that survival mode showed up as anxiety, people-pleasing, and a constant low hum of exhaustion. I became a mom and, let’s be real, the question “Am I ruining my kids?” was a nightly panic playlist on loop.

I reached a turning point when I realized that more productivity hacks and inspirational IG posts weren’t fixing the inside of me. I started learning how my nervous system actually works. I sat with grief and anger. I set boundaries that felt terrifying (I cut contact with a parent who did more harm than good). I got certified, I kept learning, and I slowly built a toolbox that actually helped me. Body, heart, and mind.

That process didn’t make me perfect. It made me less defensive. Less reactive. More present. That’s what I teach now: not perfection, not spiritual bypass, not platitudes — just practical, trauma-informed ways to show up for yourself and your family.

What I bring to the table

• Lived experience: I’m not just a coach who read books. I rebuilt my life. I parent with the scars and the wins.
• Training that matters: certified family life coach + ongoing education in nervous-system regulation and trauma-informed care.
• Real tools: short nervous-system practices that fit into a chaotic day, communication scripts that don’t gaslight, and boundary architecture you can use in real time.
• A no-BS approach: we’ll talk about feelings and structures. We’ll hold tenderness and accountability at the same time.

Who I work with

If you’re exhausted from repeating family patterns, wondering if you’re “too broken” to heal, and ready to stop being the family scapegoat — I’m here for you. If you crave coaching that’s tender and tactical, faith-respecting but non-judgmental, and unapologetically human — you’re in the right place.

People I love working with: moms recovering from complex trauma, women who want nervous-system tools they’ll actually use, and caregivers who want to raise kids who feel seen without losing themselves in the process. The kind, heart-led, world changers who don't know it yet.

How we can work together

My work currently shows up as 1:1 coaching, digital/printable tools and the podcast that becomes blog notes and micro-lessons you can use right away. Everything I create is designed for women who are busy, tired, and hypersensitive to overwhelm. No long rituals. No breathlessly vague “just do the thing” advice. Practical steps and compassionate accountability.

Faith & healing (yes, it’s part of this)

My faith is woven through the work, not as a rulebook, but as a source of resilience and meaning. I trust that healing is holy work. I also know faith doesn’t erase pain and that the messy, stubborn process of recovery is exactly where grace meets grit.

A few things I want you to know before you ask me for help

• I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to help you re-learn how to be steady in your body and fierce with your boundaries.
• I will call out patterns gently, but I will also give you tools that move the needle.
• You don’t need to have it together to start. You just need one willingness — to try something different.
