“I came to Jessica to get professional coaching around starting my business. Through working with her, I discovered that I had many limiting beliefs as a first time business owner. I walked in skeptical but open to the coaching process and I must say, it has been the best experience of my life. It has allowed me to have many “aha” moments, and to recognize how I was getting in my own way. Jessica coached me by being honest, professional, and celebrating every moment with me. I would definitely recommend Jessica for coaching.”
