Namaste & hello! i’m Jess, a yoga educator & astrologer whose work bridges ancient wisdom & illuminating soul-inquiry. i have a background in university-level psychology & philosophy, & weave together the vastness of yoga’s gifts with karmic astrology to support your embodied reconnection with the Divine Cosmic Intelligence, opening a path toward inner coherence & spiritual freedom

practising yoga since 2000 & teaching since 2016, enhanced by my 35 years of astrology immersion, i share a heart-led, intuitive approach shaped by my mother’s spiritual guidance, the celestial rhythms, & my own unconventional lived experience

since travelling to India several times as a young seeker, & meeting my Nepali partner there, we got married & spent significant time in Nepal, giving me a unique vantage point to host an adventure like this. through my experiences soaking in this great country’s unique tribal & deeply spiritually connected cultures, i’ve been bestowed the gift of uniting two worlds—modern & ancient

my spiritual heart has taken me to Vipassanā in the Indian Himalaya as a baby spiritual practitioner, & initiation into Shambhavi Mahamudra through Sadhguru’s Inner Engineering program more recently

i currently live on Australia’s Mid North Coast with my husband & pup, sharing the timeless sciences of yoga & astrology with local & international audiences

sharing Nepal, my second home, & practicing there with you, has been a dream in the works with Spirit for decades, & i’m finally offering this magic to you now

JESS HAS A RARE GIFT —
‘She creates spaces where your nervous system can finally exhale. Her presence is warm, intuitive, and steady, and she guides with a blend of wisdom, gentleness, and quiet strength that makes you feel both safe and expanded at the same time. Whether it’s movement, breath, ritual, or stillness, she meets you exactly where you are and somehow knows what you need before you do.’

BEYOND WORDS —
‘I have had the privilege of experiencing the profound ancient, spiritual teachings of Jess both in person and online. Her ability to facilitate, educate and hold space for you individually, online, or in a group setting, is beyond words.
Her expansive breadth of knowledge, extensive depth of compassion and endless ability to connect, hold, heal and guide you through your spiritual journey is astounding.
Because of Jess, I have had insights into a magical, spiritual world that has enabled me to access parts of myself and connect to the divine in ways I could not have ever imagined.
I feel very blessed to be alive and able to experience this lifetime with Jess and her teachings. Thank you Jess with all my heart.’

awaken into Sacred Samādhi

open to new possibilities

no longer putting yourself last, you’re stepping out of your daily routine & into the ultimate transformative perspective shift. you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your essential Self, discovering wildly beautiful places inside & out
in Nepal, deities mingle with mortals & magnificent temples. monasteries & historical monuments are found at every turn, along with pilgrims & devotees to the Shiva & Shakti frequency—the Divine Masculine & Feminine
experience new opportunities for personal & spiritual growth. life will never be the same
meet jaw-dropping landscapes

it’s not just about Sagamatha (Everest). Nepal boasts 8 of the world’s highest peaks, & they each contribute to the vast rivers & waterways that feed & nourish the entire subcontinent
which means the green sweeping rice terraces are lush, the rhododendron forests are misty & mystical, & the southern low-lying jungles flourish—an entire nation abundantly teeming with wildlife
connect with kindred hearts

find a renewed sense of belonging & shared purpose while on the trip of a lifetime. aligned community who support our passion & growth help us live longer, decrease rates of depression & anxiety, boosts our immunity, & supports emotional regulation. & closing that loop through reciprocation just feels so good! this is your opportunity to discover life-long soul buddies
bask in ancient culture

immerse yourself in the rich legacy of Nepali tradition & culture. in an age-old, historically inaccessible place given its terrain, these ancient ways of life, & diverse tribal languages & practices, have remained unchanged for millennia
awaken the spirit within

just as The Buddha did in his birthplace of Nepal, you feel the pull of something more, of something greater than your individual self, something bigger tying everything & everyone together, beyond the five senses. & it’s easy to drop in here. the spirit of this land has this affect of significantly enhancing the potency & depth of your practice within its energetic field. will you answer the call?
return to the Motherland

allow your body & mind to surrender to the flow of Source weaving through you & everything else in this highly energetically powerful land. bow to the revered Mountain Mother within—that eternal, immoveable Cosmic Consciousness. open yourself to Its wisdom. remember your origin. Samādhi has arrived
