We are LOVE embodied.
Hi! My name is Jessica, some of you may know me some of you may not. I want to reintroduce myself…
My journey began at the young age of 16. I didn’t know it yet, but at that moment, I was stepping into the reclamation of my sovereignty, divinity, love, joy, and autonomy.
In high school I was a rebellious spirit that got in trouble A LOT. At that point in life without realizing it, I was experiencing a lot of emotional and abandonment issues that led me to make some careless mistakes. I grew up in Harlem NYC where I was witness to the crack epidemic and ongoing crime. On the other side of the coin, I grew up witnessing love and community despite everything that was happening around me. However, living with a single Dominican mother who suffered her own traumas, viewing her struggles impacted my sister, and I. This created a lot of self oppression and it created a lot of anger that I was not aware of. The systematic oppression that I received not only from the outside world but from inside my own home steered me along a path I could have never imagined.
And so it begins.
We are STRENGTH embodied.
The journey into myself has been and continues to be one of pure whimsical destruction.
It set in motion a whirlwind of events that catapulted me into intentionally shedding friendships, jobs, and relationships that were no longer serving me. To be honest, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I had come to a point where everything I was doing was no longer sufficient. There was something in me that wanted to understand. I found myself on the precipice of this lone wolf journey. I was grieving the life that I had worked so hard to cultivate whilst finding myself taking a different direction. Grieving the friendships, but most importantly grieving the part of me that I knew had to die in order for a new version of me to emerge. I was scared. My life was in shambles and I was desperate. But somehow I knew that I was headed in the right direction. I was guided into spaces where a different type of healing was occurring. I found community in likeminded people through my curiosity and eagerness. The loneliness I once felt dissipated. I obtained solace through meditation, reiki , yoga, sound healing, plant medicine, books, and lectures. The people and teachers I encountered, redirected me. Shortly after, I did what felt right, embarking in engaging classes, courses, trainings, and community that assisted in understanding the metaphysical and spiritual side of life, the energetics of it all. I felt empowered. I felt the things that once crippled me no longer mattered because I began feeling safe within myself. A lot of my personal work has been rooted in unapologetically loving all parts of myself. The spiritual initiation has been a journey back into my heart. Reclaiming those parts of me society worked so hard to make me forget about. Remembering the kind, caring, joyful, fierce, soft, wild, feminine, nurturing, playful, curious, child within. Loving myself deeply and fully became the medicine I never thought I needed. I realized like many, that we all have endured some form of closing.
I understand now that my journey is one of guidance, heart centeredness and of unapologetic real raw love.

Vanity is such a funny thing. My path led me into the world of fitness at a time where I needed it the most. The rage that I was experiencing was taking a hold of me in ways that I didn't have words for.
I say vanity is a funny thing because it started off with the notion of just looking good but it turned out to be much more than that. Without knowing it yet, fitness became a tool of healing for me. It began to create space and capacity in my body and in my mind for me to meet myself on deeper levels. I began CrossFit, I did HIIT workouts, yoga and I started running. Anything to keep me moving. Working on my physical in this way, became an alchemizing tool for my own spiritual hygiene and emotional care. The rage, depression, anxiety and grief that I was blindly suppressing was being transmuted through this outlet. Fitness created this domino effect where everything in my life started shifting. I noticed how it transformed my entire way of being. I wasn't aware that what I was experiencing was my own spiritual awakening and it all started with strengthen my physical body.
