You have something that is uniquely you. By authentically being yourself, you are sharing your purpose and essence with the world. Everything you do, say, or feel creates energy—shaping the reality in which you live and impacting those around you. Every step you take paves the way for your future, and the actions of today determine how that future will unfold, good or bad.
The Essence of Expression Workshops were created by Jess Rodgers, an Occupational Therapist who spent years overcoming fears and self-criticism to embrace her true self. Through personal development, clinical knowledge, and real-world experience, Jess identified missing strategies that could help others navigate their own journeys of self-discovery and growth.
Jess explains:
“Through my clinical knowledge as a practicing Occupational Therapist, I aim to show you a path of self-discovery through problem solving, decision making, and bringing awareness to yourself. These workshops are designed to help you further improve your wellbeing, both mentally and physically.”
The Essence of Expression Workshops offer a mix of clinical insights, intervention strategies, and personal experiences, providing the tools you need to unlock your full potential and step confidently into your future.
