After pursuing her degree in fine arts, Jess came to Seattle to cultivate her creativity. She enrolled in an apprentice program at Sapien after being a dedicated client because she wanted to learn more about skincare and express her appreciation for beauty. Jess graduated her apprentice program in 2021 with 1300 more hours than the state requirements, a Washington State Esthetics License, and lots of close mentorship and hands-on experience in the real world. All of this while being paid a fair and living wage (instead of paying tuition!) so she can start her career on the right foot. After another two years of intense training and mentorship, Jess earned her Master Esthetics license and is now accepting new clients. Come see the difference mentorship makes for yourself.

Jess is happily living with her lover and two canine children in their Everett home. When she isn’t at Sapien, you can catch her gardening, cooking, powerlifting, walking her beasts in the suburbs or practicing witchcraft.
