Jessa discovered the healing powers of massage at the age of 12. She had previously suffered from childhood C-PTSD and realized the modality that always helped her get back into her body and in a state of peace was massage therapy.

Working on herself since 2018 she also started using tarot, astrology and human design for self guidance. As she surrendered to the art of many healing modalities she wanted to share all that she had learned with others, which has brought her to surrender into the world of massage therapy.
