About me

I'm Jess Sweet, a dedicated therapeutic coach specializing in empowering neurodiversity, providing health and nutrition guidance, and offering life coaching. With a fervent commitment to helping people break through stagnancy and self-limiting beliefs, I am here to support your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment.

Leveraging my firsthand experience with neurodiversity and a robust educational background including an MSc in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh, coaching certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, and additional counseling and psychotherapy diplomas, I approach mentoring, therapy, and coaching from a comprehensive perspective.

I've also undertaken specialized training in psychedelic facilitation and integration through Psychedelic Health Professionals and co-lead a module for PsyEdu on facilitation, further enhancing my ability to facilitate transformative change. I am also a certified Dance the Medicine facilitator, and I integrate somatic practices into my work.

Previously, I worked at the Center for Alternative and Complementary Therapies in Burbank, California with autistic and epileptic children and their families as an Integrative Nutrition and Health Coach. I am also a certified dance facilitator and use somatic practices in my work, when appropriate.
