Jessy has always had a deep interest in ancestral wisdom and holistic practices, seamlessly incorporating them into her personal life and, whenever possible, into her professional work in cancer care. During the pandemic, like many others on the front lines, Jessy began to experience burnout. However, instead of slowing down, she leaned into her identity as a high performer and took on even more challenges. She founded Niama Health Consultancy, enrolled in multiple certifications, and continued working full-time as a radiation therapist at one of the world’s leading cancer hospitals. Despite the relentless pace, Jessy prided herself on being “healthy”-eating well, sleeping adequately, and exercising regularly. Her tightly planned schedule left no room for pause, and she thrived on adrenaline, coaching other high performers with the same drive. To her, everything seemed fine - until it wasn’t.

​

While traveling home for a family wedding, Jessy suddenly felt lightheaded just hours after landing. Surrounded by her family, she vaguely remembers saying she wasn’t feeling well before collapsing. She was unresponsive for several hours and rushed to the emergency room, where she presented with high blood pressure and seizures. In brief moments of consciousness, Jessy was unable to open her eyes or speak, leaving her terrified. In one of those fleeting moments, she made a promise to herself: if she survived, she would prioritize her health.

​

The preliminary diagnosis was stress, and months of follow-up testing with cardiologists, neurologists, and metabolic specialists revealed the toll that burnout had taken. Jessy’s nervous system had become so dysregulated that her mind and body disconnected entirely.

​

This life-altering experience led Jessy to leave her role at the hospital and expand her services through Niama Health Consultancy. She began coaching a downregulation class at a contrast therapy wellness studio , incorporating practices like sauna therapy, cold plunges, breathwork, and mind-body connection - elements that were missing in her previous high-performance wellness routine. This journey profoundly shifted Jessy’s outlook and approach to health, emphasizing true wholistic wellness.

​

Today, Jessy leverages her medical expertise, personal transformation, and corporate experience to guide high performers toward sustainable health and resilience. Her story is a testament to the power of recognizing when to pause and rebuild from within.
