Meet Your SOUL Maven Guide

Jessika Marie, FMHC, RHNP, RYT, Reiki

Jessika is a mother, a Soul Maven, and a woman on the path. She is dedicated to serving women and mothers as they move through the always-evolving call to create a compassionate, empowering, and embodied relationship with their SOULS and their community. Jessika supports women in accessing their intuition to assist them in gleaning wisdom from their ordinary experiences, trauma, and generational stories. She is the creator of Mavens for Mama, an in-person and online community that centers motherhood as a rite of passage. She also developed the popular online course Unshame My Story which is designed to guide women through the process of releasing and reconciling their shame stories in order to access their MAVEN (expert, connoisseur).

Jessika is a CREATIVE BODYSOUL PRACTITIONER professionally trained in the areas of Functional Medicine Coaching, Reiki, Holistic Nutrition, Birth and Postpartum, Family Constellations, Birth Story Listening, Somatic Practices, and Yoga/ Meditation and has woven these modalities together over the last decade to create deep-dive sessions with both her group facilitation and 1:1 clients.

 

What Mavens Are Saying…

 

“My most recent experience receiving a Soul Maven Energy Session was transformational. I went into the session with the intention of being as open as I could to receive whatever was meant to happen. Immediately upon entering the room, I felt at ease in Jessika's warm and welcoming space. I tend to keep a lot of my personal stuff locked up. In her presence, I felt completely safe, to be honest, and vulnerable.

— Sarah

“Jessika is an open canvas of healing powers, in the ways we need to integrate our past and present, she does this in a safe way. I felt really held but also came undone and made time to understand what parts I needed to heal more. It was a very calming and exploratory process with Jessika”

— Victoria

“It allowed me to feel heard without people needing to “fix or offer advice”

“It allowed me to connect with moms about our motherhood journey, rather than only our baby’s journey”

“It was an open safe space to be how we are in the moments of motherhood”

— Mavens for Mamas Participants

The Soul Maven podcast is for the woman who is ready to become the Maven of her soul. She has resilience, patience, determination, and discernment. Her mind is open to new information, yet will not be swayed by any idea presented to her. She is ready to do the inner work and self-inquiry it takes to really KNOW herself. She is ready to get real with her past, her shadow, and her hidden desires. She understands the seasons and cycles of her life. She is living in her body, present with her experiences, and bold in her course of action. This podcast is a soul-led exploration of this path.

The Yurt, Kitchener & Zoom Calls (every other week)

We think we are mothering our children; often we are re-mothering ourselves. Our children reflect our nervous systems, and we’re not sure where we end and they begin.

We are living at a time of renegotiation and re-labeling. New archetypes are emerging. What is required of us as women and what we require of ourselves is totally NEW. Women are finally getting honest about motherhood. There’s space in the culture for this formerly invisible experience Our safety no longer depends on our perfection and our role-play.

At this time, we can define and redefine motherhood on our own terms…and that comes with it’s own challenges.

UnShame My Story Course.

UnShame My Story Course is both a respite and a call to action for women everywhere whose personal shame stories have left them feeling in the shadows. It addresses the ‘culture of otherness, unworthiness and secrecy' through the unshaming of six major 'shame themes' of a woman's experience. These are: BODY, HEALTH, SEX, MONEY, RELATIONSHIP/LOVE & MOTHERHOOD/WOUND.

This is course includes , six weekly LIVE calls with recordings, a beautiful PDF workbook with journal prompts, practices and creative soul led explorations.

Returning students welcome as there will be loads of new content!

To be the Maven of your Soul, addressing shame is crucial. Carl Jung described shame as a ‘soul eating emotion’. I’m inviting you to heal your shame and see what beautiful places SOUL will lead you.

Tending the Wild Feminine Soul RETREAT

** FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM @SOULMAVENHOOD OR JOIN MY EMAIL LIST TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE NEXT RETREAT **

This six hour retreat will be dedicated to tending to the wild, emerging, feminine, creative spaces within a woman’s heart that without tending, will simply go dormant. Suddenly, we feel angry more often, unable to make decisions, disconnected from our voice and body, discontented, depressed, or apathetic. I made a few BIG decisions recently, that took me years to come to terms with. I knew I had to make these changes or risk the death of my soul. I know that sounds dramatic. But if you are in the years of mid-life, or have stuck out a marriage, job, friendship, etc that is outside of right relationship with your soul, meaning it dims your light a little more every single day, then you know what it feels like to experience the mini soul death. I’m going to share EVERYTHING I have at this event.

I am welcoming 11 women to my home to experience this work firsthand. Together we will create a sacred container for ritual, pleasure, soul exploration, creativity, and sisterhood. This event is intended for those who have already established a soulful or spiritual practice and have done deep personal reflection through either therapy, coaching, or other support networks. This day will be an opportunity for you to get a CLEAR connection with YOUR soul’s frequency and what it has to say to you at this time.

I know we are all allocating funds towards the necessities of life right now, however, the Maven in you knows the worth of a DAY like this. It goes beyond a click of another purchase on Amazon. A 1hr appointment of some kind…I know many of us spend much more on our hair appointments! I agree, those things are all important too, but when do YOU become the most important thing? TIME. SPACE. LIFELONG CONNECTIONS with your SELF and with others. I’ve attended and hosted several retreats over the last decade both locally and in beautiful places like Costa Rica. I want to give you that depth of experience close to home. As we know, from the past couple of years, we have to get comfortable with HOME as much as we need to get away. Let’s create a container to embrace the embodied feeling of BOTH!
