Bess Matassa

"Jess and her medicinal artistry came to me during a time when a linear, Western approach to seeking the "cause" and eradicating all traces of the "problem" did not partner with the wild, full-bodied expression I was experiencing. A fierce listener to all manner of signs and symbols, Jess was both a wide open field of allowing, and a precise, potent flashlight through my journey to be "with" my body during a bone-deep transformative moment that required equal parts raw and resilience and regal ritual. In brief, Jess is the real deal. And I wouldn't be here on the other side, in the way that I am now, without her."
