Jesse lives a mostly contemplative life in Denver, Colorado now, and holds retreats in a private vacation home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has taught and performed throughout the United States as a singer/songwriter, poet, motivational speaker and event host for hundreds of contributing artists and students. She has appeared on television programs, radio broadcasts, and been quoted in various publications on personal growth, meditation and creative expression. She is the author of two books of contemplative poetry and co-edited Manzanita Quarterly Literary Review with Mariah Hegarty. She is a freelance writer, who has been published by To Topos Poetry International, The Santa Fe New Mexican, Authentic Voicework, The Santa Fe Reporter, Manzanita Quarterly, New Life News, and others.

The School for Wonder produced 7 original CD’s on Authentic Voicework Records, her independent record label, available through this website.

Personal Development included producing the world’s first online literary recording contest, engineering a prizewinning CD for international performance poet Tamara M. Shaw, featured on CDbaby.com.

Our unique style of mirroring and encouraging personal development was a precursor to coaching schools. Our innovative school first blossomed in the early 90’s, simultaneously with the singer/songwriter career of our founder, Jess. Her passion for self-mastery and personal growth stem from learning to overcome debilitating physical challenges and limitations.
