Meet Your Hosts
Meet Jess, founder of Nova Retreats.
A lifelong traveler, certified yoga instructor, and strength coach, Jess spent nearly a decade building her career in the corporate world before following a deeper calling into facilitation and creating meaningful experiences. Drawing on her extensive training in breathwork, meditation, asana, and women’s leadership, she creates spaces that inspire women to expand their horizons, deepen their connections, and step more fully into who they are.
After years of teaching, Jess felt inspired to create something beyond the studio. A space to bring people together, slow down, step away from the busyness of everyday life, and connect on a deeper level.
And that’s how Nova Retreats came to be.
