Hi! I'm Jess
And I'm Your Baaaaartender!
And I'm Your Baaaaartender!
(Cue T Pain song)
For 20 years, I’ve lived at the intersection of two worlds: the late-night rhythm of the restaurant industry and the mindful pulse of the wellness world. One taught me grit, leadership, and how to find humor in the chaos. The other taught me presence, embodiment, and deep down nitty gritty healing.
It took me years to realize — they’re not opposites. They’re compliments. They are both the realist and rawest reflections of what it means to be human.
So I asked myself—what if these worlds weren’t meant to compete?
What if instead, they were meant to merge?
And with that, Welcome to The Bar was born.
This isn’t another sterile yoga “studio,” a love and light holistic space, or a copy and paste coaching program. It’s a space built for the misfits, grinders, and dreamers. A space where individuality is celebrated, healing is raw, and you’re encouraged to come back home; to come back to basics.

My Story
My Story
I'm a Mover And a Shaker
I'm a Mover And a Shaker
That was then...
I spent the better part of my life as a slightly unhinged wild child all while following my internal light and purpose, yet totally clouded by the world around me. And what a ride it’s been!
In college I studied elementary and special education because I was endlessly fascinated by learning, individuality, and the art of helping people grow.
Over time, I became a board certified holistic health coach and yoga teacher, where I fueled my passion for integrative nutrition, radical self-healing, and guiding people back to themselves.
But the most impactful classroom and my greatest education has come from two decades behind the bar — where I’ve witnessed the full spectrum of humanity in motion. That’s where I learned that healing isn’t just found on a mat — it’s found in the mess, the motion, and the moment. Every story, every shift, every pour has been a lesson in resilience, connection, and authenticity.
For so long, I tried to fit into what the world — and the wellness industry — told me I should be. Until I realized: I wasn’t meant to fit in. I was meant to shake things up.

This is now...
Now, through Welcome to The Bar, I’m pouring everything I’ve learned and am learning into helping my teammates do the same.
My work is about getting back to basics — mindset, movement, money, and community — and showing others that healing doesn’t have to be sterile or perfect. It’s raw, exploratory, and uniquely yours.
This is more than my career — it’s my rebellion and my reverence.
My true, authentic Purpose.
Because I don’t just want to change lives.
I want to create a ripple effect across an industry — and world — that I know and love.

Who Do You Help
Who Do You Help
I help people in the restaurant industry who are done running on empty — and ready to take their lives back.
You are in the right place if:
→ You’re great at your job… but your life outside of work feels like a mess.
→ You tell yourself “this is just how the industry is” …but something in you knows it doesn’t have to be.
→ You’ve tried to “get your life together” before—but nothing ever sticks.
→ You pour into everyone else all shift long… and have nothing left for yourself.
→ You feel stuck in a loop of work, recover, repeat.
→ You know you’re capable of more—but have no system to actually get there.
→ You want structure, discipline, and control… without losing your personality or freedom.
→ You’re done simply getting through the day — and ready to actually feel good in your life.

01. THIS IS NOT PERFORMATIVE WELLNESS.

02. BUILT FOR THE INDUSTRY, NOT DESPITE IT
This isn’t about escaping restaurant life — it’s about learning how to live well within it.
Everything here is designed for the pace, pressure, and reality of this world you actually live in.

3. A SYSTEM—NOT JUST “GOOD ADVICE”
You don’t need more tips, motivation, or things to try. You need something that actually works. That’s where the POS System comes in — a clear, repeatable way to pause, recalibrate, and take control in real time.

4. NO “GOOD VIBES ONLY” BULLSHIT
We’re not bypassing the hard stuff or pretending everything is fine. You’ll learn how to face what’s actually going on, work through it, and come out stronger—not just more “positive.”

5. YOU DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE WHO YOU ARE TO DO THIS
You don’t need to become a different person, give up your personality, or leave the industry behind. This is about becoming more you—just with structure, awareness, and control.

6. COMMUNITY THAT ACTUALLY GETS IT
This isn’t a room full of strangers trying to “fix themselves.” It’s a table full of people who live the same lifestyle, speak the same language, and are committed to doing things differently—together.

7. THIS IS A PLACE TO LAND—NOT JUST PASS THROUGH
Not a one-off class. Not a quick fix. This is a home base. A place you come back to again and again as you build a life that actually works.
