Jess has this innate ability to create community anywhere she goes. I could listen to her speak for HOURS on any topic such yoga, meditation, current reads, or wellness because anything she dedicates herself to she becomes an lifelong student in. I feel so lucky to have been able to learn from, work with her and continue to take classes from her or attend workshops whenever possible. If you find yourself wondering if you should take the leap to seek any sort of training, retreat or class by Jessica and her  Direct Path Institute……DO IT!
