Hi, friend—I’m Jess!

TRANSLATOR OF COSMIC, EMOTIONAL, AND HUMAN COMPLEXITY

I guess if we’re being official about it, I often go by titles like ‘practical astrologer’ or ‘holistic life coach’ or ‘yoga teacher.’ (I’ll also respond to ‘hey, you!’, if it comes down to it.)

But in more human terms? I’m a translator. 

I take astrological context, emotional patterns, timing, internal shifts, and everything else that comes with being a person living a life—and I translate it into something grounded enough to inform your choices, clear enough to trust, and relatable enough to use on an ordinary day when life feels like a lot.

OTHER TITLE I’M HAPPY TO TRY ON FOR SIZE (& CONFIRM IT FITS):

I’m not here to be the authority on your life or to talk at you from a removed place of “knowing.” As an intuitive astrologer, curiosity guides every conversation I have. So does the assumption that you’re already closer to your own truth than you think—you just haven’t always had the space to actually hear it back clearly.

My work is mostly reflection, holding up what you’re already saying underneath all the overthinking so it becomes harder to talk yourself out of it and easier to tap into your power around it.

i wasn't always this present-centric

but before you read any further:

In fact, I spent years in corporate sales: very structured, very cerebral, and—on paper—very successful. But I had a moment where I realized (after consulting the cosmos, of course) that being good at something isn’t always the same as being aligned with it.

And once I saw it, I couldn’t really un-see it.

Fast forward to my yoga teacher training in 2018: I experienced what it was like to be back in my body instead of living life from my head. Suddenly, I was wondering if there was another way

(there is, in fact, always another way). 

Alongside a six-month break from corporate, exploring my feminine energy after so long being in my masculine, and a growing curiosity about what it would be like to listen to myself for a change: I began studying practical astrology and building a practice around it. 

At first, being an intuitive astrologer was just a little something I was exploring, a place where things started to make sense in a way they never really had before.

At first, being an intuitive astrologer was just a little something I was exploring, a place where things started to make sense in a way they never really had before. 

But over time, that exploration became integration.

Eventually, without a single clear turning point, astrology and intuition became something I stopped ‘exploring’ and something I was actively living. 

That shift began to show up everywhere: in how I made decisions, in how I noticed my own patterns with more context and compassion, in how I began to trust myself without asking (too many) questions. As I began to layer in my training as an integration coach, I experienced less separation between what I understood conceptually and how I actually moved through my life from a deeper place than I ever had before.

And that became the work you find me doing today.

MY PATH TO BECOMING AN INTUITIVE ASTROLOGER 

Confessions of a relational Libra Sun, earthy Capricorn Moon, and process-oriented Virgo Rising

the human behind the human terms

Translation?

It basically means I’m someone who’s consistently aware of other people, always trying to understand what’s happening underneath what’s being said, and constantly noticing patterns in real time, even when I’m just trying to have a normal conversation like a normal person.

I tend to process life through relationships first (Libra Sun), hold a lot internally while trying to stay “together” through it all (Capricorn Moon), and subtly track everything in the room whether I mean to or not (Virgo Rising).

So I’m often doing a mix of feeling things deeply, thinking about them immediately, and then trying to translate them into something that makes sense.

The cosmos were definitely onto something when they affirmed my direction toward this line of work.

I’m also just… a person.

BUT OUTSIDE ALL OF THAT PROCESSING AND NOTICING AND TRANSLATING:

learn more about me!

I live in Bend, OR with my partner Ian and our rescue dog Gordo, who acts as my assistant on calls every now and again. 

We spend a month in Baja on the Pacific Coast each year, working remotely and remembering what it’s like not to rush so much.

I grew up in the Bay Area, so nature has always been my baseline. Thankfully, Bend makes it hard not to be outside all of the time, which I happily indulge by hiking, walking, or doing yoga in my backyard. 

I garden in the summer, have a significant emotional attachment to a box elder in the front yard and the pear tree in the back, and am very invested in small rituals that make life feel more present than productive. 

We have chickens, a compost system, and a household that’s quickly becoming its own little ecosystem. 

I see your life as an entire ecosystem, too

Nothing (I repeat: nothing) about you exists in isolation.

You are a living, breathing system: thoughts influencing emotion, emotions looping into behaviors, behavior rerouting decisions, intuition chiming in at usually inconvenient but always correct moments, and your body reacting to things your mind hasn’t made sense of yet. 

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO YOUR WHOLE PERSON-NESS

And if you’re human (you are), you know that it rarely feels straightforward.

It feels like clarity in one moment and confusion in the next. Like a gut feeling you can’t make sense of but also can’t ignore. Like a season of life that only makes sense once you’re halfway through it.

I don’t try to isolate one “problem area” and make sense of it siloed from all of the other intricate, wonderful parts of you. 

As an intuitive astrologer and coach, I listen for patterns across your whole person-ness and reflect them back to you in a practical way so that you can actually do something with them.

Nothing about you is random. It’s just waiting to be translated.
