Guiding purpose driven women to live, love and lead, by turning their empathy into empowerment.

Hi, Im Jess

I spent the last 25+ years as an African conservationist living for most of that in postwar Liberia, West Africa. I have worked to save iconic animals, like chimpanzees and elephants.

I have also worked with people from all walks of life, from local communities to Presidents and CEOs of large corporations. Two years ago, I decided to take a leap of faith and move from a chaotic but reliable job in the non-profit sector to setting up my own company focused on coaching and sustainability in Nairobi Kenya, and I have not looked back!

I am raising my 2 girls in alone in foreign lands, and while it is not always easy, it is an adventure.

Join me to master the art of being unstoppable in your life’s mission and unbreakable in spirit.

“My lowest moments were really the gift, when I was torn open, my roots exposed and forced to face myself, that is when the magic happened. ”

I have turned my trials into triumphs…

That is when I began, not only to understand and forgive, but to even like myself again.   I have learned to embrace some ease and grace in my life, to take life on life’s terms and to try and enjoy the ride a bit more.   

I’ve turned my trials into triumphs and I have proved that you can be a formidable force and a compassionate soul at the same time.

I'll show you how to harness your inner strength, set fierce boundaries, and live and lead with both power and empathy.
