JESSICA BUDGELL BSc, CNP, Sexual Empowerment Coach

Jessica Budgell is an April 2014 Vancouver campus graduate practicing remotely from Montreal, QC.  Jessica is the owner of www.jessicabudgell.com. She is a gifted and skilled coach who believes that sexuality is too often overlooked as an area of self-development; it is as important as one’s career, finances, and health. She works with women and men to move past perceived barriers by exploring what it is they truly want while supporting them to create realistic and achievable ways to get it. In Vancouver, Jessica has worked as a clinical CNP at both Northshore Naturopathic Clinic and Aumakua Integrated Wellness Clinic. She then moved to Montreal to open her own clinical practice using a combination of nutrition and an energy based muscle testing modality called Total Body Modification (TBM).  She has since moved her practice to an online platform where she works 1-on-1 as a Sexual Empowerment Coach with her global clientele. Jessica also offers remote TBM sessions in combination with coaching. TBM and coaching is an ideal combination because TBM helps to move and align the subtle subconscious energies of the body, whereas coaching works on a cognitive and conscious level.  Behind the scenes, she is creating an online program for those looking to delve deeper into their relationship with their sexuality, move towards their deepest desires, and experience how sexual empowerment has the ability to improve every aspect of your life! www.jessicabudgell.com | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn

A huge part of her success and business comes from social media. @ihartnutrition now has 28.9k followers, and Jordana works with lots of like-minded brands as a social influencer to help spread awareness. She created I Hart Nutrition as an online community for people to gain valuable and easy-to-follow nutrition tips they can use in everyday life. Over the years, she has recognized that people tend to get caught up in this obsession with ‘dieting’. Jordana knows that being on a diet is not necessarily the same thing as being healthy. Nutrition is all about discovering the right ingredients for your body and the importance of fuelling the body with whole, unprocessed and unrefined foods. www.ihartnutrition.com | Instagram | Facebook
