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.

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.
