Hi, I’m Jessi

I’ve always been sensitive, playful, mystical and a bit of a “wild child”. I was seven when I started sensing things I couldn’t explain and having dreams that came true. As a highly sensitive child, I learned early how to cope; how to be capable and responsible, how to function even when parts of me felt overwhelmed or unsure. Grief, loss and fear shaped much of my inner world and for a long time I tried to manage that by partying (all night) to disconnect from the pain I felt inside.

It took time for me to accept the possibility that there wasn’t something wrong with me - I just didn’t know how to feel my feelings safely.

Everything shifted when a blissful experience in a Yoga class showed me there was another way of living. What followed was a deep commitment to learning how to stay with myself - in my body, with my emotions and in uncertainty - rather than numbing or overriding what was there. That path took me across countries, into long periods of study and practice and into a deep relationship with trust, intuition, and compassion. I’ve been living sober for over a decade and now find freedom in shouting FUCK in the middle of a Yoga class or dancing in nature.

Over time, self-trust has grown, not as a concept, but as something embodied.

The practice of returning to presence, compassion and myself continues to shape how I live, lead and hold space for others.

Day to day life

Location - We live in a small fishing village in Portugal and regularly travel to the UK and Australia where our families live.

Where I’m happiest - Barefoot in nature with the sun on my face

What i’m constantly eating - Dark chocolate (with rose or pistachio)

How I understood the world:
Gene Key Life’s Work: Compassion
Emotional Manifesting Generator (1/3)
Pisces Sun, Gemini Moon, Leo Rising
Conscious Mercury: Freedom

I am guided by - Freedom. Authenticity. Compassion.

And a little bit more magic - I met my husband Jefton and on a beach in India in 2017 after a puppy I had rescued crawled under his table. I knew that we had found each other again the moment our eyes met. Tuk-Tuk now lives in an Ashram in Gokarna, India and we have been married since 2019.
