While working as an Occupational Therapist in the hospital setting, Jessica felt drawn towards hospice and became a Liaison with Hospice Maui shortly before she was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine tumor. Through each of these experiences, she began to question if the general avoidance of death might limit one’s capacity to fully live in ways that are not apparent until it’s too late. Jessica created Alive for Now as a means to address all that she found to be easily avoided for a lifetime, with the intention to enrich one’s life in the process. Jessica currently lives in New England and shares this work through Zoom sessions, podcasts, workshops, and retreats.
