Are you ready for your sabbatical?

YOU’VE WORKED HARD
FOR YEARS
AND YOU FEEL VERY TIRED.


The idea of taking a break may sound unimaginable—an impossible luxury, an unnecessary risk—perhaps both. And yet, taking a break at this moment, finding time and space to rest, seems to be the only way to survive.

A sabbatical may be your way forward.

Sabbaticals are a gift. They provide space for mind, body, and soul to deeply rest, heal, and recover so you can show up as your best self.

I’m Jessica. I am passionate about helping working professionals find meaningful rest because it’s so needed for our long-term health and well-being.

I have designed my own sabbaticals at critical points in my 25-year career in tech: during the highs and the lows.

A few years ago, I took an unpaid sabbatical after a particularly stressful season. Ironically, a major career accomplishment brought me to the brink of burnout. I intentionally thought of what I wanted and tailored a sabbatical plan that fits my needs. As a result, I experienced profound rest that carried me through some tough times ahead.

Having experienced the transformative power of rest in my own life, I’m passionate about helping others.

I would love to guide you on your journey.
