“There’s a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.”
A Brief Intro
Hey there, I’m Jess! I’m a trauma-informed coach, counsellor, and intuitive guide based in the Netherlands (5/1 Splenic Projector, Enneagram 4w3, ENFP, Life Path 9, Virgo Sun, Leo Moon, Sag Rising in tropical; Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, Sag Rising in sidereal).
Originally from upstate New York, I spent several years working as a social worker, supporting individuals in mental health and advocacy. After moving to the Netherlands 18 years ago, I began exploring how to merge my background in mental health with my passion for creativity and intuitive guidance to help others on their personal growth and healing journeys.
As an empath, I've always been deeply attuned to the emotions of others. This natural ability to connect with people has fueled my desire to guide others through breakthrough moments and deep transformation. I’ve had the privilege of helping people heal from trauma, reconnect with their authentic selves, and create lives filled with purpose and clarity.
My passion for helping others was inspired by my grandmother, whom I always called Grandma Sunshine, whose boundless love and wisdom showed me the profound impact of supporting others. As a mother of three incredible kiddos, I’m constantly reminded of the importance of nurturing individuality and embracing life’s healing process.
My Personal Story
Our personal stories shape who we are, and mine is no exception. I grew up in a family marked by dysfunction, including addiction, domestic violence, and emotional turmoil. From a young age, I took on the role of the caretaker, trying to hold things together amidst the chaos. These early experiences left me with deep emotional scars, but they also gifted me with a profound sense of empathy.
As I navigated life, the impact of my complex trauma became evident. Struggles with anxiety, depression, and feelings of unworthiness surfaced. However, through it all, I discovered my strength and resilience. Over time, I found healing through self-compassion, introspection, and embracing my authentic self.
Support from mental health professionals played a significant role in my healing journey. In addition, embracing inner child healing helped me process past wounds and reconnect with my true essence. These resources were pivotal in allowing me to move forward, breaking free from limiting patterns and embracing my potential.
My spiritual journey also played a key role in my transformation. For years, I found comfort in my Christian faith, even integrating my intuitive abilities within that framework. But in 2018, I began to question my beliefs and eventually stepped away from the church. This was both liberating and painful, but it allowed me to rediscover who I truly am, free from the constraints of a belief system that no longer resonated with me.
In 2021, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening. This was a challenging time, marked by a "dark night of the soul," where I confronted unresolved wounds and deep fears. Yet, this period of intense growth led me to fully embrace my spiritual gifts, trust my intuition, and uncover my true purpose.
Today, I am dedicated to helping others heal and transform. My work is centered around guiding those who are navigating their own struggles, offering compassionate support, and helping them reconnect with their authentic selves. As someone with ADHD, I understand how neurodivergence shapes how we experience and approach life. Raising three neurodivergent children gives me a unique perspective, allowing me to approach life and healing with even more empathy, patience, and understanding.
Through my own journey of healing, spirituality, and creativity, I’ve learned that transformation is possible for everyone. I’m here to walk with you as you explore your path of self-discovery, healing, and growth.

My Passions
When I’m not working, I enjoy diving into my creative passions such as photography, writing, and music. I also love reading, working out at the gym, listening to podcasts, watching movies, and traveling whenever I get the chance.
Spending time in nature, meditating, and relaxing in my hammock are some of my favorite ways to unwind. I also have a pretty expansive tarot & oracle deck collection that I love to work with.
