Jessica Sjouerman is a certified Compassionate Inquiry® practitioner and current CI Intern, and one of only two certified CI Practitioners in South Africa. She holds an Honours degree in Medical Biochemistry and brings a diverse background in yoga, bodywork, crisis counselling, teen resilience education, and marketing leadership.

After years of trying to think her way out of anxiety and chronic pain, she discovered that insight alone does not heal. Her deepest healing has unfolded through attuned, compassionate connection and learning to listen to the wisdom of her body. Living with chronic pain continues to teach her that the body often expresses what words cannot and that trauma is embodied, not just remembered.

Jess works with individuals navigating grief, significant life transitions, leadership pressures, and chronic stress. She has a soft spot for highly sensitive people who learned to shrink themselves to stay safe, bringing understanding and compassionate presence to the quiet pain of self-abandonment and the longing to feel fully alive and safe in the body.

Working online with clients worldwide, she creates a safe relational container grounded in warmth and somatic awareness, supporting clients to reconnect with their inherent worth and come home to themselves.
