🌿 About Rev. Jess

I’m the founder of Feral Petals Ministries, where sacred rebellion blooms through the body, breath, and bone. I tend to mothers, mystics, and misunderstood women, offering devotional somatics, feminist theology, and trauma-informed spiritual care.

I speak, write, and guide communities into rhythm, reverence, and radical belonging. This is the Church we’ve been waiting for.

With a Master’s in Sociology & Theology and a background in trauma-informed embodiment, I bring a holy fire to every space I enter, combining theology, storytelling, and somatic truth-telling to lead others into deeper presence, prophetic imagination, and sacred return.

I speak on the sacred body, motherhood as ministry, ancestral healing, devotional somatics, feminist theology, and the soft rebellion rising in the Church.

🎙 Signature Talks & Topics

I offer keynotes, sermons, workshops, and retreats on themes such as:

  • 🔥 The Soft Rebellion: Reclaiming Rhythm and Reverence in Motherhood
  • 🔥 Sanctified & Untamed: A Theology for the Wounded Body
  • 🪞 The Feminine Mirror of Christ
  • 🕊 Devotional Somatics: Prayer Beyond Words
  • 🌸 Rewilding the Mother Archetype
  • 💔 Ancestral Healing and the Church We’ve Been Waiting For

Each talk can be adapted to fit keynote, panel, retreat, or teaching formats. I also lead workshops and creative rituals for spiritual formation, descent journeys, and somatic theology integration.
