About

Hi, I'm Jess!
And I have a little secret-- I am not that girl. I am not the girl with effortlessly perfect skin telling you what to do with yours. The truth is I have never had effortlessly perfect skin, I have had to fight for it every step of the way.
From the moment hormones started flooding my body as a teen until the time I was 30, I battled acne. And when I say I tried almost everything, I mean it. Not only did my skin not look great, it hurt. I was desperate. I tried everything from prescriptions and antibiotics, to retinoids, chemical peels, lasers, and just about every "miracle" product on the market (except accutane, thanks mom!!), and guess what? Nothing ever fully fixed my acne, not entirely.
I remember being so depressed thinking I will just never have good skin, I am going to go from acne to wrinkles and never have the chance to feel beautiful as long as I live (a little dramatic, I know but it def felt that way at the time!). But then something magical happened. I learned about the divine power of holistic wellness and nutrition and how everything we put in and on our bodies affects our skin's health (our entire body's health actually). I was going about this all wrong, this wasn't just about skincare, this was an inside job. It wasn't until I started addressing these internal factors and learning what my own unique triggers were that I was able to completely heal my skin and finally keep it clear!
Now I am on a mission to help women do the same. You are beautiful, inside and out, and you deserve to feel it every single day. I want you to be able to walk through life confidently, loving the skin you are in. Whether you are struggling with ance or you want to age gracefully (and by gracefully I mean exceptionally well) without the use of harmful ingredients, toxins or invasive treatments, I've so got you. Let's glow girls!
Fun Facts About Me
I am a Jesus freak
Me and Jesus, we go way back. I work hard to ensure that He is at the center of everything I do in my life and business. He has truly been with me and guided me every step of the way, and I wouldn't be here able to help you without that guidance. He gets all the credit.
What does God have to do with skin health? Everything. This whole world was so beautifully and perfectly designed and every part of creation works together to synergistically support our health and wellbeing. When we learn to tap into that we can achieve a level of wellness and vitality that we could never replicate on our own. Why mess with perfect? This is why I am so passionate about the collaboration between holistic nutrition and organic skincare. You want real and lasting results without compromising your health? This is the way, sis!
I am a homeschool mom of three
I am so blessed to be the mom of three amazing little humans who I get the honor to raise and teach on a daily basis. Homeschool is not something I always planned to do, but it was put on my heart and I chose to be obedient. And man, am I glad I did! Being able to spend this time with my children leading and guiding them has been the biggest blessing of my life! It is something I never knew I needed.
We have been homeschooling for 4 years now and it has been so fun to see how our homeschool has evolved from "school at home" with ridged structure and routines (hey, Im a product of the system, I didn't know any better) to a genuine love and desire to learn. We have gone from me enforcing and dictating to them leading with true curiosity. They are constantly asking questions and seeking answers all on their own and it is incredible to watch. It is amazing what can happen when you get out of a child's way and let their natural love of learning take root.
I am a classically trained pastry chef
Yep, you read that right! Pretty crazy, huh? When I was 18 I moved into a tiny 450 Sq. Ft. New York City apartment and attended The French Culinary Institute for Classical French Pastry Arts, where I trained under some of the top chefs in the world. I even had the opportunity to volunteer for a Food Network event for actual Top Chef the tv show, at the one and only James Beard House.
When I graduated and moved to Charlotte I became one of the youngest executive pastry chefs in the city and was featured in multiple food magazine. Once I started a family I decided to go back to my roots and start an in-home cake decorating business. That was fun, but definitely a lot of work with a toddler running around. Then my middle child was born with multiple food allergies, and that changed the trajectory of my life. I hung up my apron and did a 180 going back to school for integrative nutrition. And the rest is history!
I am a CrossFit Level 2 Coach
Yep, I am a card carrying CrossFitter and I am unashamed! I have been doing CrossFit for over 9 years and it is hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made!
I started when my third child was 10 months old, I had been sitting and nursing around the clock since he was born, I was extremely weak and could barely even lift, well literally anything. I really had no business doing CF but it looked really fun and frankly, I hated the traditional gym. So I humbled myself, took the leap and just kept showing up, laughing and smiling at my amazing inability to do much until one day, I could. That is all it takes, just show up and do the thing, even when it's hard and you barely can, and eventually you win.
Two years after joining CrossFit I decided I was ready to go get my Level 1 Coaching Certification and then I spent the next 5 years coaching before mustering up the courage to get my Level 2 Certification last year.
I am a natural born entrepreneur
I grew up in a family of entrepreneurs. I mean literally every adult in my life was a business owner. From my grandparents, to my parents, my uncles and aunts, everyone. It is just bred in. Some families push traditional college and 9-5 careers, mine was pushing the envelope.
The tricky part for me was figuring out what I wanted my longterm business to be. I started my first business at 20, which was that cake decorating business I mentioned before (if you don't count the lemonade stand at the end of our cul-de-sac every summer). Since then I have been an Amazon seller, an Etsy seller (until my shop was permanently banned for literally no reason, still don't know why), I even created a Sermon Notes journal that is still available on Amazon, its really cute, I will link it below! Moral of the story, I kissed a lot of frogs.
Then I finally got it. I started my nutrition coaching business and went back to school one last time for esthetics to incorporate that skin health piece of the puzzle. Now I get to spend every day helping others while doing something I am so passionate about!
