Hi, I'm Jess.
There is very little I ask of another person that I haven't first asked of myself.
The way I listen, the way I love, the way I sit beside another human being have been shaped by my own life—by heartbreak and wonder, grief and joy, by moments that opened me and moments that brought me to my knees.
Again and again, life has brought me back to one simple question:
Can I keep my heart open?
Not because it is easy.
Because the heart is where healing begins.
Everything I offer grows from that devotion.
The Heart Behind the Work
I’m a licensed clinical social worker, somatic psychotherapist, and Heart Doula with 22 years of clinical experience. Through AiRE Healing, I offer heart-centered somatic psychotherapy and spiritual guidance in Fort Lauderdale and online.
My work brings together clinical depth, somatic awareness, spiritual listening, and a deeply relational approach. We may begin with words, but we also listen to sensation, breath, imagery, movement, and silence—making space for what the body carries and what has not yet found language.
This work is especially meaningful when you understand your patterns, yet sense there is somewhere deeper to go.

Why I Call Myself a Heart Doula
I believe the heart unfolds much like birth—in relationship, at its own pace, and through its own wisdom. My role is not to hold your answers, but to listen, stay close, and create the conditions for what is ready within you to emerge.
An Invitation
Everything I offer—private sessions, Heart Breath™, my podcast, and my writing—grows from one devotion:
Helping people remember the wisdom that has always lived within them.
If something in these words feels familiar, I would be honored to walk beside you—not because I have your answers, but because I trust that, beneath the noise, your own heart knows the way.
