Giselle R., Remote Yoga
I love taking these classes. She makes them easy to access online, and uses an theme for each class. She has a natural ability to ocnnect with her students. She genuinely cares and keeps up with progress. I like to take them as a break from work in the middle of the day, and it brings me back to a point of relaxation no matter the daily struggles! Highly recommend. She takes the necessary time to connect with students at an individual level. I really appreciate that.

I had never done anything like this before but Jess has been a great partner on my journey so I was excited to try this. Her perspective and thoughtfulness was very needed, and, while I can't fully explain the experience, I highly recommend it.

Kathleen C., Yoga
have been practicing yoga with Jessica for many years.It has become an activity I look forward to doing, especially after a busy work day.I had a knee surgery a few years ago, and I am very cautious to do anything that may effect it negatively.Jessica was really helpful in showing me modifications to positions so I could continue to participate at the same level as the rest of the class.My balance, something that has been a struggle for me, has improved a lot since I have begun, as has my flexibility; I have been able to confidently push myself in a safe way and be able to do poses that I would not be able to in the beginning.I like that Jessica starts each practice with being mindful about a specific topic.Throughout the class, she will prompt the group to re-focus their attention to this.I find this especially helpful as my mind sometimes wonders, to work issues/ stress, weekend itinerary, etc.

Katrin M., Distance Reiki
Thank you for offering this Reiki session.It was meaningful and a deep meditation for me. I kept thinking about my home, Iceland.The music reminded me so much of the Icelandic group Sigur Ros and it brought back memories of driving through the lava fields listening to their music. I think we connected on a spiritual level, the shyness, the pain, the turning away.As you know, I usually go back to Iceland every year but of course this year was different.Thank you for bringing me back home - if only for 15 minutes.

Brian M., Reiki In Person
I had a Reiki session with Jessica which turned me from a skeptic into a believer.I had never had a Reiki session before, but after I heard Jessica speak to the power of the Reiki, I wanted to give it a go. Before the session, Jessica explained what the Reiki session would be like which put me at ease. After the 1 hour session, I felt more relaxed than if I had a massage.In addition, my anxiety had disappeared.I'm thankful for Jessica helping me find Reiki and I encourage everyone to try a Reiki session with her!

Melinda P., Distance Reiki
Jess is really something special. Before we even started our Reiki session, I felt relaxed, physically and mentally. She explained the art of Reiki and then we just went for it. The music she played was very soothing, and I could feel myself getting progressively calmer as our session went on. If you're looking to set aside time to let yourself unwind and tune in to yourself, Reiki with Jess is IT!

Giselle M., Tarot Card Reading
I loved my tarot card reading! Jessica at Yay Wellness gave a truly insightful reading of multiple areas in my life. I really appreciated the tone in which she delivered the message, and I was easily able to listen to it while viewing the image of tarot cards sent directly to my email. It gave a push to my work day and uplifted my perspective of all the things I'm working towards. I love Jessica's energy and looking forward to my next reading!!

Mary P., Distance Reiki
This was my first time doing Reiki and I didn't really know what to expect. Jess started by asking about any prior experiences I might've had and explaining the art of Reiki a bit. We then closed our eyes and had a very relaxing session. Jess was spot on with her observations/what she felt. I had been having a weird pain in my mid to upper back (I've never had back pain in my entire life) and she picked up on that. She also sensed feelings that I had been having about myself earlier that day. Although we were on Zoom, I could feel energy passing through me and it put me in a great, chill mood for the rest of the day. She is so calm and relaxing and easy to talk to. Really recommend.

Anthony S., Tarot Card Reading
The reading really resonated me as I'm at a big inflection point in my life. I just got a simple one card pull and it really felt personal and helped comfort me in a big time of change. The item came just as described. After I purchased, I received a confirmation card in the downloads telling me that I would receive my reading in the Etsy Messages section. The reading came back very quickly, and I was able to view it easily. Very happy with this, will most likely come back soon.

Kathleen C., Life Coaching
I began using Jessica's coaching services during a time of unexpected unemployment.I was angry, nervous, frustrated and unsure of what my next step should be.She helped to not only unroot these feelings, but her use of exercises allowed me to work through them and ultimately find positive outcomes.I have participated in traditional therapy in the past but I found that the "unorthodox" approach of coaching to be extremely helpful and healing.I have been actively using the tools I learned through my sessions with Jessica to get over personal hurdles as I approach them.I continue to use her services to my personal betterment. I encourage anyone I meet, who's having a hard time or working through something, to explore coaching and give it a try.It is hard to be open and vulnerable when speaking about yourself and your struggles, but I have found that what you put in to the practice, will come back ten fold.

Sara F., Life Coaching
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jess- She is compassionate, understanding and has been such a positive light in my life. I have practiced yoga with Jessica as well as participated in life-coaching sessions and have learned so much about myself and what I am capable of. She is inspiring, empowering and she has helped me out more than she probably will take credit for. When I first started going to yoga, I was dealing with the idea of changing career paths as well as insecurity and low self-esteem. With the help of Jess and her positive affirmations and helping me conceptualize the “big-picture” -I went from a negative mindset to a positive mindset. I went from a “how can I possibly do that?” attitude to a “I can absolutely do anything” attitude. In the past few months I landed an amazing job which I truly love, and I know that I am not only capable of doing the job, but I am also deserving of such a great job. I really credit Jess for this.
I also am starting to truly believe that I can do anything I set my mind to, every single day is a new day and I can really create a life I truly love. Jessica showed me that happiness is indeed an inside job and no matter what I was doing I had to be okay and love myself first. I really do think the universe put her back in my life for a reason and I am so grateful for that. She not only comes recommended for being an amazing yoga teacher and an intuitive, knowledgeable life coach, but you literally can’t help but to smile, laugh and feel so damn good about yourself when you are around her Kick-Ass Aura!

Mary P., Remote 10 Day Yoga Immersion
I had the privilege of taking Jessica’s 10-day Yoga Immersion program about a year ago.It was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself.The program is, of course, yoga (and GREAT yoga—lots of stretching, a mix of semi-difficult and meditative poses tailored to your needs, a little bit of everything)….but it’s so much more.Throughout this immersion you are transformed physically, mentally, and spiritually.There was one specific exercise I believe we did on day 4 that changed my life.I was able to see a clear path to a goal of mine that I had been keeping in the back of my head for years, never really getting around to.After Jessica’s 10-Day Yoga Immersion program, I was able to map out a specific plan and obtain my goal.I viewed myself in a new way, which helped me to create a new opportunity for myself that I never thought possible.This program was perfect for me because at the time I had two young children and my husband worked long hours.I was finding it nearly impossible to be able to get to the yoga classes at my gym.This program allowed me to put the kids to bed, tidy up, light some candles, breathe, and then get started with Jessica in the comfort of my own home.I looked forward to it every night.Jessica is one my favorite yoga teachers I’ve ever worked with.Her voice is extremely calming.Her routines vary from session to session and the body movements flow with whatever emotional focus you happen to be working on.The journal exercises were very therapeutic for me, as well.I really can’t recommend this program enough, for so many reasons.It honestly changed my life.

Jamie C., Distance Reiki
I had never done a reiki session before so this was my first time with Jess and I was immediately hooked. I could not believe how much I felt and what feelings came up during the session. It was truly an amazing experience that I will never forget. That session really opened my eyes realize how badly I need to work on my relationship with myself and the healing journey that I needed to put myself on. I am forever grateful for that session because I really do believe that it changed my life to head in a better direction. Jess is truly gifted and inspiring!

I've been doing distance reiki with Jessica since the beginning of the year and it's been a great experience! The Reiki is very relaxing and meditative. I would recommend working with Jessica to anyone who wants to work on themselves, refocus, and set clearer intentions.
