Welcome
Hi, I’m Jess, a professionally trained Counsellor, and Coach, and the founder of The Revived Life.
I am passionate about walking alongside people through all seasons of life - from pursuing dreams and setting meaningful goals, to navigating life’s more challenging moments. Whether you are seeking renewed strength, clarity, or purpose, I’m here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and care.
Over the years, I’ve worked across a range of fields - from radio and international development, to education and wellbeing. I’ve supported exchange students adjusting to new cultures, guided educators and leadership teams in building resilience, and worked closely with individuals seeking personal and professional growth.
I have a particular passion for walking alongside those navigating grief and loss. My husband and I experienced the heartbreaking loss of our firstborn son, Josiah, who passed away at just seven weeks old after spending his life in the NICU. Josiah was born prematurely, and while his time with us was short, it left a deep and lasting imprint on our hearts, changing us forever.
Out of that profound loss came a calling - to be present with others in their own seasons of sorrow. I understand firsthand how grief can shake your world, and I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can be seen, heard, and supported without judgement.
Whether your grief is recent or something you’ve carried for years, I’m here to walk beside you - gently, with empathy, and at your pace.
I believe in the power of meaningful connection and lifelong learning, and bring that spirit into every conversation.
As a Counsellor and Coach, I offer a safe, supportive space to explore and work through:
Life transitions and navigating unexpected change.
Grief, loss, and difficult seasons.
Clarifying your dreams and goals - and taking practical steps towards them.
Building everyday resilience and emotional wellbeing.
Learning tools to manage stress and regulate emotions.
No matter where you are on your journey, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’d be honoured to hold space for you and partner with you in creating a life of meaning, growth, and purpose.
Jess.
