OMG, Jessica, Why Do You Talk So Much?
If you’ve had a session with me, you’ve probably left hearing more about your energetic body than you knew it was possible to hear about. I love to tell my clients about what I’m feeling… seeing… the magic that happens when our energies connect for healing. There are sensations, colors, images, even animal spirits and […]
Weighing In On Witchcraft
Witches are having A Moment™. It’s no surprise that with the crude scaffolding holding up the patriarchy being exposed and swaying dangerously, that people would start to reclaim their connection to the natural world. It’s no surprise that learning about ancient ways would feel like coming home. What is surprising to me is how damn capitalist it is. I’ve been […]
What Is Distance Reiki? How Does It Work?
If you’re curious how Reiki works when your practitioner is not in the room, read on… Simply put, Reiki is an energy modality.

Meditations and Intentions on My 3rd Year of Teaching
In just a few short minutes I’ll begin my third year of teaching new practitioners. It gets easier and the imposter syndrome is lessened every year, but one thing that doesn’t change is the exhiliration and my intentions.

Difficult Decisions
Welp. Here we are. It’s with a very heavy heart that I have decided to conduct my work 100% remotely until May of 2021. This means that all in-person classes are also cancelled. This isn’t a sign-off — I’m still working! My available services are listed and I am still scheduling healing sessions for clients. […]
What is ‘Soul Retrieval’? And Is It Right For Me?
Here’s a quasi-secret: I’ve been certified in Shamanic Soul Retrieval techniques for about two years. I haven’t spoken about it much because I studied Soul Retrieval only to enhance my day-to-day Reiki healing skills, not to become a proper shaman. I offered the option to clients only after determining it might help them. However, given […]
If you’re not a practitioner, can you still “do Reiki”?
This is a bit of a trick question. The answers depend on your intention. If your intention is to run a business then yes, you need training. However, what if you haven’t studied Reiki but you want to help a hurting friend, or a grieving loved one? What if you don’t want to be in […]
