Description

Hi there! I’m Jess, I am originally from the States (Texas), and my partner, Shaun, is from Swansea, Wales.

I'm a musician and I play guitar and sing, and I'm interested in dance; specifically open floor and ecstatic dances. Professionally, I run my own business helping people build systems and foundations for their projects, decluttering ideas, and finding clarity.

Shaun is also learning guitar and he loves gardening. He is trained in TRE (Tension & Release Exercises) which is a somatic practice to release tension and trauma in the body.

We are both very interested in philosophy, psychology, and understanding the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. We love hiking, alternative forms of living, and yoga.

Travel, to me, is about expanding my perspective, embracing growth, and contributing meaningfully. We're not afraid of hard work and are detailed oriented, thoughtful, flexible, and put our all into everything we do!

Excited to connect and happy to help!
