Take Root Healing

01/21/2026

Tonight was an absolutely beautiful and packed Terahvin ceremony for the wonderful, Pradeep. This restaurant was my first home in Mount Shasta.

Every time I have guests, I bring them here. We'd be on a hike (typical Shasta) and I'd be talking about food (typical Jessica) and I'd tell the stories of Pradeep, his larger than life personality and how at-home they would feel in his restaurant when we'd go later that night. When you told Pradeep his food was the best, with a raise of the eyebrows and a big smile he would wave his arms and say, I know, my food is the best!

I could feel Pradeep smiling, waving his arms, and clapping tonight. Filled with joy for the people who came and the things that he built on this earth. Wherever he chooses to go next on his journey, it's going to be even better. But it's also emotional knowing that someone so filled with conviction, kindness and care has left this earth. Knowing Pradeep earthside was a true honor and supporting his journey with his equally amazing family and our little community over food and music tonight will live in my heart.

Despite the rain here in North California, it hasn’t slowed sessions. Listening to the rain as I work with clients in my new cozy space has been absolute magic.

Our nervous systems are constantly working, responding to what feels safe or threatening, and guiding how we're moving through the world.

I’m thrilled to be attending a new class series that dives into the nervous system's electrical and chemical responses with Biodynamic Health Systems.

I wrote a new article about self-sabotage. I found the information that came through while writing really interesting and I'm walking away with a new perspective on WHY we take steps back.
