We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Jessica Garland a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Jessica, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.

My entire life I have suffered from anxiety and depression. Throughout the years, I had used many different sources to help support my mental health. I was on a meditation journey already, and then Covid happened. That time rocket launched my practice. For the first time in my life, I had space to really feel and listen to my body. Then I’m 2021, my mom was in a severe car accident. Traditional medical care was not helping her and I began seeking healing modalities outside of what is typically thought of. While she was in the hospital, I launched my reiki journey. Once I began to really dive in, I began to understand how it can truly bring together the mind, body, and spirit. Surprisingly, there is a lot of science to back this complementary healing modality. Nervous system regulation is a hot topic, and at the center of reiki practice. I was then introduced into sound healing, which changed everything for the better. I connected so very deeply.

I spent 13 years in a traditional corporate career. Both myself and my husband were trying to do it all, have successful careers, raise our daughters, maintain healthy lifestyles and relationships. We burnt out. This was another turning point. We took a deep and honest look at our lives. We focused deeply on our values and decided we were not in alignment with those values. At that point, we decided I would step away from my corporate career, and realign to focus on family and my passion for these healing modalities.

Jessica, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

After 13 years of dedication to the corporate work environment, Jessica knew she was guided to something more.

This is where her journey began to find where she could help and serve others through alternative and complementary healing modalities. Meditation, reiki, and sound healing are the foundation for this journey. A means to heal and connect.

Jessica is passionate about the healing arts of mindfulness and meditation. She believes that true healing and wellness is holistic- alignment of the mind, body, and spirit. The true human experience begins by strengthening these connections between mind and body, by regulating the nervous system, which allows the body to balance and heal itself. Reiki mends these elements. By allowing your mind and body to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, we are able to recenter. Jessica is guided to help others with their healing journeys through Reiki and meditation.

Jessica is a Reiki Master and certified sound
healing practioner.

The sound healing experience Jessica practices is a deeply immersive, full body listening journey created by mediation instruments, that intentionally uses sound vibrations to invite gentle therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture both your mind and body.

Being intensely inspired by her teachers and mentors, Jessica is always seeking opportunities to learn and grow, to become her most authentic self. In doing this work, she hopes to inspire others to live their own truths.

Jessica lives in Plain City, Ohio. She is a mom to 2 beautiful daughters. Her drive and focus to promote personal growth and connection are rooted in the strong desire to raise those girls to grow up to be strong women, making a positive impact on our world.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

The biggest thing that I have had to unlearn is competition. Doing this particular work, collaboration is the best practice and has been where I have found the most success. Surrounding myself with others that are driven towards similar goals, has given me clarity in my passion.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Referrals, referrals, referrals. This has absolutely been my secret to success. Finding the right people that have truly believed in me and what I am passionate about. I would not be able to continue this journey without the support and constant referrals.
