I’m Jewel.
I feel deeply. I ask big questions..
When I feel lost, nature, creativity, and movement bring me home to myself. Much of my wisdom comes from my journey in relationship and motherhood and the many wonderful teachers in my lineage. My purpose is co-creating with other whole-hearted humans who are longing to explore the unknown edges of this wild and sacred life and be transformed by the process. I am honored to support you to rediscover your inner wisdom and reclaim your full power.

“Jewel is a magic maker and genius photographer. Her guidance is wise, strong, and intuitive. Our time together was like being in a waking dream - held by our intentions and released into the wilderness of our own souls.”
“My essence session revealed my multifaceted nature, my quiet power, my riotous power, my tenderness, my fire. Jewel is a gift. What she is able to capture and reflect back with her lens, her words, and her heart is profound. Holy. Alive. True.”
“Jewel was so skilled at meeting me in my expression -- whether it was playful, quiet, tender, or boisterous -- and brought herself to the session in a way where I did not feel alone! Her availability and presence allowed for more expression in me to unfurl, for more creative energy to flow, and for a lot of unexpected laughter.”
“The Essence session with Jewel is one of those gems that I would love to tell everyone about. I felt held, seen, supported, and encouraged to access and engage so many aspects of myself. When I saw the photos, I was completely blown away by the artistry, skill, and special quality. I will cherish these photos, and always remember my experience with Jewel fondly and with admiration.”
“Through these images, I see my 40 years - the lightness and the darkness. I see my recovery and survival. I see my true nature - raw and open. I see my whole story and it is beautiful. Jewel gifted me with a journal, fat and overflowing with my most intimate experiences.”
“My session with Jewel was a powerful journey. She created a magical container and I was able to fully give into my impulses and explore myself freely. Instead of being photographed, we co-created and played together....and the result was astonishing. The images mirrored parts of myself that I feel deeply yet had never seen with my own eyes.”
“This photo session with Jewel opened me up to a part of me that had missing for a while! I felt how seamless my existence with nature is, how intertwined and interdependent I am with the earth, and how I also get to claim my beauty as a woman, aging, and everything! It was a magical evening I will never forget and the images are beyond my wildest dreams.”
“Jewel, I can not pin point what you are doing exactly, yet I am in this immensely powerful experience. I love how you are such an architect for Essence and so intentional, but also out of the way. I get the sense that I'm so taken care of, and all the while your attitude is one of surrender and grace. This was truly one of the most profound experiences of my life.”
“My session with Jewel revealed how strong, loving and precious my essence is and how awakened she is to her own pleasure and aliveness. Jewel has a subtle but direct way of evoking and capturing what is longing to be seen and discovered. She has the ability to see what is behind the mask and create a comfortable and sensual space for essence to awaken. ”
