Hi, I’m Jessica, founder of Meaningful Rest. I’m here to help working professionals design custom sabbaticals that uniquely achieve their goals and priorities.

Working for over 25 years in tech, I am passionate about driving innovation and improving customer experience and outcomes. The last 5 years, I’ve worked primarily with executives as a partner, collaborator, and advisor.

I’m also passionate about taking time to rest. I believe to show up as our best selves for ourselves and others, rest needs to be prioritized.

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 want more working professionals to find meaningful rest.

Combining my professional context and experience, I want to serve as a sounding board and trusted advisor to those who have decided to take a leave or sabbatical from work.

I would love to accompany you on your sabbatical journey. Your sabbatical time is rare, precious, and probably very much needed.

Let me know how I can help you achieve your Sabbatical Joy!
