Mahler, Jessica: - Jessica Mahler is a writer, Reiki Master, breathwork facilitator, tarot reader, and yoga teacher based in Washington, DC. After the death of her best friend, she left a successful career as a copy editor and her Brooklyn apartment for a life lived out of a suitcase in order to heal herself. Through a series of serendipitous events and a surfboard, she learned about energy healing, uncovered a world filled with love and compassion, discovered her own magical gifts and decided to dedicate her life to help others find what she unearthed for herself. No matter the modality, Jessica aims to empower others to heal themselves, breaking free from their anxiety and limiting belief systems to help them connect to their own magic and potential to live a confident, more spiritually-aligned life. Her writing has been featured in Vogue, Bust, Laika, Men's Journal, and Shape, among other outlets.
