Prior to her 8+ years of work as a coach and consultant, Jessica Boyer was a leader in both the for-profit and non-profit sector. She served as the Executive Director of her local United Way, and later served on both regional and state boards supporting non-profit work at a larger scale. Her work with community leaders and business executives gives her the perspective needed to be an effective coach in workplace settings. Her professional background along with her education gives Jessica the ability to show up where her clients need her to be and intuitively offer the support they need. Jessica received Masters in Community Counseling and Rehabilitation Counseling, and since then has gone on to become a Certified Therapeutic Coach, a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Psychology, as well as Certified Holistic Health Coach.

Jessica will not deny that her energy comes from transformation. There is no “one size fits all,” so Jessica loves to watch as her clients own who they are and recognize their own unique gifts they have to offer. There is nothing better than watching and celebrating a client’s journey!
