Meet Jess

Jess has always been a helper.

Her twenties were spent obtaining a BA in Psychology, researching cultural perspectives of well-being, traveling, and working in various forms of therapeutic service.

She held the positions of Sp.Ed. classroom assistant, therapeutic horseback riding instructor, ABA therapist, TEFOL teacher, in-home caregiver, and yoga teacher.

As COVID took hold, she found herself a green thumb and the time to dive deeply into her own spiritual, somatic, and well-being practices.

Since then, she became a certified massage therapist and holistic health practitioner; starting her own practice, Bend N Mend Therapeutics, in January 2022.

She can also be found helping individuals and businesses start or rebuild their own edible gardens (when she’s not tending to her own). While the rest of her free time is spent in the ocean, baking, or crafting.

Her broad range of knowledge, deep desire to help, and persistent curiosity drives her holistic approach and keeps her practice evolving.
