Bio
Jess Lakin is a gifted and dynamic life coach, teacher and healer known for her intuitive, gentle and compassionate approach.
With a UK Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, she has a broad foundation in the study of human development and psychology. She worked within UK child and family services as a Clinical Psychologist for 15 years, and was particularly passionate about early intervention and community support for children, adolescents and their families. She specialized in community mental health outreach services, providing group support to parents, perinatal and early years services and individual and family mental health support.
Moving to California initiated a powerful journey of personal transformation and a move into holistic healing modalities. She observed within herself how these seemingly light-touch practices of body, mind, breath and mantra, brought inner clarity and consequently transformed how she viewed herself, her place in the world and her approach to everyday life.
Deeply inspired by the wisdom embodied within these holistic and indigenous arts, Jess has embarked on an intensive program of personal training. She qualified as a Yoga and Meditation Teacher in 2016 and her on-going studies and practices extend into Shamanic and energetic healing traditions (Reiki and Sound) and teachings on the Divine Feminine.
Jess views these practices and teachings to be profoundly relevant for today’s world and serve as an important compliment to traditional medical and psychological therapies.
Her integrative approach shares mind/body awareness and healing practices from the fields of transformational coaching, science, meditation, yoga, shamanic and energetic healing modalities.
She specializes in mind-body-energetic integration, with a focus on holistic balance, energetic renewal and self-connection. She supports her clients on issues of personal & professional development, holistic wellbeing, life-balance and stress management.
Jess offers in-person sessions in West Los Angeles, and has an extensive online program of classes and trainings.

“Dear Jess,
I just wanted to say thanks for everything. Your classes have been a catalyst for me ... I’ve overhauled parts of my life that were long overdue and I feel like I’m on a new path. Your classes gave me clarity, courage and the confidence I needed for this next chapter.”
“Working with Jess helped me find my own creative spark and inspired me to start my own business. For years I happily helped others with their own projects. However, I was really wishing to be clear on what I wanted for myself.
I started attending her yoga and meditation classes regularly, which she usually started by her suggestion of making an intention. At first I didn’t think much of it, until a few months had passed and I looked back to see my own progress of feeling strong physically and spiritually.
I then began coaching sessions with Jess, which really helped me to find my own voice and my own vision.”
“Jess is a truly gifted and insightful teacher and yogini. She has a wonderful way of understanding where you are at and helping you to get to a more grounded place. I would highly recommend any classes or coaching she offers.”
“Jess is a master teacher. Whether you are enjoying a sound bath, yoga class or coaching session you will be transformed into blissful awareness.”
