Run Coach, Spiritual Mentor, Podcast Host
Hello & Welcome!
I’m Jess. A native New Englander living in Philadelphia, PA with my husband and our big, beautiful Cane Corso, Zucchini.
I’m a 2/4 Projector, Aquarius sun and have a jam-packed 9th House! Simply put, I'm a unique thinker, creative healer, I care deeply about expanding the collective consciousness, and love to be invited to share my gifts with like-hearted people.
Sports have been my chosen method of relating to the world for as long as I can remember. It started with after-school ski-programs, AAU basketball tournaments, softball camps, volleyball matches, and then eventually, I found my home and natural talent in the running world. I’m a retired Division-I Track & Field sprinter, turned marathoner, turned ultra-runner. After graduating college, I signed up to run the 2013 Boston Marathon. The events of that day forced me to take stock of my life, which brought me to acknowledge that - without a doubt - everything happens for a reason, and divine intervention is no myth.
So, began this gradual, but radical exploration of this divine force as it related to me. I became fascinated with anything relating to energy, mindset, personal growth, and spiritual healing. Running not only became a tool to organize and alchemize difficult emotions, but also a channel to receive creative intelligence that called forward my intuitive gifts. Before I had the chance to sit in appreciation for how much my spiritual maturity was attributing to my potential as an athlete, I found myself signing up for more marathons, qualifying for the Boston Marathon, and completing a few 200+ mile ultra-marathons.
My life for the last decade has felt like a continued establishing - then crashing and burning - just to the repeat the process all over again. But, in a necessary “this was always the plan” sort of way. This journey has shown me how to navigate my deepest fears and address my biggest traumas. I am learning new things about my soul identity that is embedded in the Indigenous history of Turtle Island, and my ancestry that traces back to Ancient Egypt. I’ve studied astrology, meditation, and most recently become a Reiki Master.
At this moment in my career, I aspire to channel my intuitive gifts as a thought-provoking guide, leading others on a journey of self-discovery to craft their personalized self-mastery toolkit.
The Way She Lives is the canvas where I illuminate a philosophy of living for those open to exploring, expanding, practicing, and playing on the sport and spiritual planes.
