“This presentation was so timely and healing. I look forward to continual healing that will show up in me this whole week, month, and year because of the gifts shared with me today.”

“Listening to Sue and Jess explain your mindset and way of thinking makes you open up and realize that we all need some advice and thoughts about the direction we are going in and especially where social media is going. As parents we have to help our kids and each other to improve our society and begin to see the distractions and dangers that are out there.”

“Please bring Sue and Jess back for future groups. This information is applicable for everyone, regardless of their age or path they choose in life. I needed this.” 

“After hearing this, I am amazed at how many people are operating in life from the negative mental mode.” 

“My eyes were opened as to how any level of trauma or unhealed emotions can play into how someone functions and how it changes them.”

 “This presentation encouraged me to be a better person and adult for the generations behind me. I want to protect kids anyway I can and this includes the unseen protection of their hearts and minds.” 

“I’m blown away by how much suffering we cause for ourselves by making assumptions and taking things personally.” 

“I highly recommend the Self Empowered Thinking workshops with Jessica! It's an absolute must if you have daughters. I had no idea some of the effects social media has on our young girls and women. Jessica does a great job of explaining things and keeps your attention the entire time. I looked forward to these, every week and will be doing a part 2 when she has it. If we can empower ourselves, we will have the strength to empower others.” 

“What a great reminder to surround yourself with people who are positive and won’t bring you down. I also didn’t realize the importance of resilience and forgiveness. I now understand how forgiveness really is FOR us, not them.” 

“I loved this presentation and want to learn more about holistic education and how to calm a spinning mind to protect my inner world.” 

“This was very impactful. People are all projecting pain so we should never take anything personally” “I am inspired. I want to learn more about holistic beliefs in medicine and healthcare. It seems as though toxicity within our bodies can impact our overall health.” 

“I am fascinated by the idea of ‘wholistic education’ for the mind and heart, combining both parts of our intelligence to be both well-educated and emotionally healthy and mature.” 

“The concept of holistic intelligence has me really excited. It’s missing from our lives. I had never heard about this concept before this presentation.” 

“This was so inspiring. I want to learn more about how to change the culture so that younger children don’t have to deal with the toxic environment we have built.” 

“The 4 modes of self-leadership will be so helpful in my life. I see that I’m not aligned and I’m doing it to myself.” 

“This experience has already made me more compassionate and a better person in general.” 

“Had no idea I could grow my mind and evolve myself emotionally. I feel better about my future now that I understand what’s holding me back.” 

“Jess and Sue’s presentation is a reminder that life isn’t fair, but how we react and grow from our problems is what really matters. We cannot avoid negative things that happen to us so we must be emotionally in tune and resilient to help us cope and process our emotions.”

“Wow, this idea of holistic education interests me. I’d love to learn more about the intelligence of the heart and how it can work cohesively with the mind. I look forward to future presentations.” 

“My eyes were opened about how powerful our mindset really is as it’s setting us up for success or frustration. My mindset often works against me and now I know how to upgrade my mental mode of operation.“

“It showed me that I’m not really leading myself and I’m creating a lot of my own problems. The four modes of self-leadership are so important and helpful for everyone.”

“This presentation was full of great insights. The 4 modes of self-leadership, 4 C’s and the 4 Agreements are going to help me so much.” 

“The part of this talk that was most impactful for me was in seeing the effects of a negative mental mode versus the benefits of a positive mental mode. Seeing these characteristics written out and talking through them put a lot of them into perspective for me and made me identify what traits I possess of a negative mental mode and how I can choose to change these things with awareness.” 

“This presentation will stick with me and inspired me tremendously. It was such a strong message that I needed, that we all need to do better for ourselves and children growing up in this world.”

“Working with Jessica has impacted my life in such a meaningful way – as well as my 10-year-old son. The tools and guidance she has provided us with are truly life changing. If you are looking for someone who is supportive, understanding and meets you exactly where you are, you are in the right place!”

“I have a vision of Jess as this person deep deep in the woods, it’s dark at night and she’s holding a lamp up and all I can do is keep getting closer to the light.”

“Jess is Relevant. Real. Highly Evolved. Our time together talking, sharing of perspectives and life events has taught me much. Jess throws light on how I literally cause my life conditions by what I think, by what I say and what I do. That is powerful. Jess is changing the world and does it with a heart full of love and deep connections. I don’t know where I’d be without her.”

“My single visit with Jessica was a pillar needed to build the temple I’m making to be the best version of myself.” 

“I appreciate all of Jessica’s help. Couldn’t change myself or get through some parenting challenges without her knowledge and guidance.” 

“Jessica is such an amazing person and has such an amazing soul. She put this workshop together to help make us more aware of ourselves, our choices and the things going on around us. It was a wonderful group of women and that’s exactly what it did for me. It opened my eyes. We were able to be vulnerable and have discussions about our thoughts and emotions and how the choices we make in our everyday life affect us and also those around us. I am so glad I chose to participate in this workshop and I hope she has more in the future.” 

“Where do I begin in order to explain how life changing and mentally refreshing the care and services that VitaEducare and Jessica provide? The facts are there aren’t enough words to express how amazing the experience that Jessica provides and what is does for one’s mental wellbeing. This year alone I have experienced so much loss and grief that I believe if I wrote a book on such, that no one would believe it, and it would be classified as fiction…yet when I began my journey with Jessica it truly, to the core of my being changed my life outlook, my mental health, inner peace, and my view of the world we live in for the best. The positive and uplifting encouragement and inner strength that you learn while working with Jess is something that is almost unexplainable. Yet it will give you the knowledge and tools to withstand any challenges you may face with positivity and resilience. While going through so many challenging and grief -stricken times, I am able to sit and take it all in, use the tools that Jessica has given me, and still manage my life in a positive and spiritually stable way. I truly do not know that I would have made it this far without having met Jessica and utilizing what she provides and teaches. The energy and motivational viewpoints that Jessica provides is nothing short of life-changing! It was very hard for me to take that first step to trust in someone and talk about what I was facing and what I have faced since, but I truly believe that finding Jessica and learning the way she teaches to see and seek inner wisdom and move through life with a positive point of view has helped me achieve a sense of peace and calmness, even in the darkest of days and harshest of storms that life has thrown at me, I am able to move with purpose due to her refreshing and uplifting points of view. I am grateful I took that step toward the journey of inner healing and began my journey of healing with Jessica that truly changed my life for the absolute best. You will not find a better person or more knowledgeable path than what VitaEducare provides! This is so much more than therapy, this is life coaching from someone with the tools, empathy, and compassion to ascend your life to points of view many never knew existed!”

“I have learned so much from taking my granddaughter to Jessica. I am more confident in my parenting, I am working on finding the positive in every situation no matter how bad it is, I’ve learned to be impeccable with my words, lead myself and I’ve learned kindness without strength is weakness. I can’t say enough about Jessica’s way of teaching. I think this should be in every school. Everyone would benefit from this program!!”

“I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand the impact of Jessica Stevenson’s work, and it is unlike anything I’ve come across before. What stands out to me is the depth and honesty of the approach. It goes far beyond surface-level advice and truly challenges people to look inward, take responsibility, and grow. Under Jessica’s guidance, I’ve watched my teenage granddaughter begin to recognize patterns in herself, such as self-sabotage, blame, and disconnection, and learn how to change them. Jessica focuses on understanding and processing emotions rather than avoiding them, something many people have never been taught. These skills are essential not only for young girls participating in sports, but for any young adult preparing to navigate the world. Over the past several years, I have had the opportunity to invite Jessica to speak to my senior-level baccalaureate nursing students. The response was overwhelmingly positive. Many students shared that her message was not only relevant to their lives, but something they genuinely needed as they prepare to enter a demanding and often stressful profession. Her emphasis on emotional awareness, personal accountability, and maintaining stability in high-pressure environments provided them with practical tools and perspectives that are not typically addressed in a traditional classroom setting. I believe this is a testimony to the value of Jessica’s approach to personal development and holistic wellbeing. Her message resonates with children, teens, and adults, and speaks to the authenticity and impact of her work. In closing, I would confidently recommend Vita Educare and Jessica Stevenson to anyone, young or old, who is ready to embark on a journey of real and lasting change.”

“I was in a low point in my life and I started talking to Jessica. Starting down a different path is scary. Routine is easier and more comfortable, but I didn’t like my current routine. Everything Jessica was saying was a little overwhelming at first as it made me take a hard look at myself, but with her calming demeanor, patience, positivity, great ability to listen and being such a wealth of knowledge, things started making sense. Then I was able to start down a better path. I can’t begin to explain all the things I have learned and how I have grown and am still growing. But here are a few things that she is teaching me:

• How to actively listen to hear and understand, rather than listen to respond.

• How much we can damage our physical and mental health by overthinking and then believing our negative thoughts. And how this cycle can affect decision-making, destroy self-confidence, and possibly lead to physical symptoms.

• How we all crave peace, but yet we are the ones that sabotage it the most; we can be our own worst enemies. She teaches how we have to confront our inner wounds and negative thoughts, practice mindfulness, and be able to forgive ourselves.

• How blaming others is easier than acknowledging our own weaknesses; that recognizing or own faults/weaknesses; that recognizing these requires vulnerability, taking accountability and self-compassion. It takes strength within yourself which is a necessary step to grow. 

Jessica has helped me with so much more, and is helping me change my current thought patterns and routines so that my mind and heart can be in a better place. I cannot thank Jessica enough for all of her time, education, patience, encouragement, love and truly caring about me and my future.”

“Our experience has been nothing but positive. I’ve recommended these camps and clinics to other parents time and time again—not just because of the quality of volleyball training, but because of the kind of person and leader behind it. What stands out most is the focus on developing not just athletes, but genuinely good humans. Every time my daughters participate, they’re learning far more than skills. Yes, the technical coaching is strong—there’s a clear structure, age-appropriate drills, and an incredible ability to notice even the smallest details and help players improve in a way that feels encouraging and motivating. But beyond that, there is a consistent focus on how to be a great teammate, how to communicate, and how to positively impact the people around you. The energy in the gym is something special. It’s fun, fast-paced, and engaging—my girls always leave feeling excited and energized. They build friendships, feel supported, and truly enjoy the environment. There’s a great balance of challenge and encouragement, and it’s clear a lot of thought goes into creating an experience that keeps the athletes both improving and loving the game. What’s been most impactful is what carries beyond the court. My daughters both leave talking about how much they trust and look up to her. They’ve grown not only as players, but as more confident, positive individuals. I’ve seen them become more aware of how their energy affects others, how to lift up teammates, and how to show up as their best selves—even when things aren’t going perfectly. There’s also a strong emphasis on mindset and emotional awareness. When a player is struggling, it’s handled with care and encouragement—helping them reset, rebuild confidence, and re-engage in a way that lifts the entire group. That kind of leadership creates a powerful ripple effect across the team. Overall, this is an environment where athletes are supported, challenged, and inspired—not just to perform, but to grow as individuals. It’s made a lasting impression on both of my daughters, and on me as a parent.”

“Coach Jess has been instrumental in laying the foundation for my daughter’s volleyball journey. Through patience, encouragement, and expert instruction, she has helped develop not only strong fundamental skills but also confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the game. Coach Jess creates a positive and supportive environment where athletes are challenged to grow while feeling valued and encouraged. Her dedication to teaching proper technique and game knowledge has given my daughter the tools she needs to continue developing as a player. We are incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and passion Coach Jess invests in her athletes. The skills and confidence my daughter, has gained under her guidance will benefit her both on and off the court for years to come.”

“As a teenager, it is rare that a person comes into your life and makes a profound impact on you.  For me, this is Coach Jess.  Knowing her as a person, who she really is and what she does for others is what inspires me the most.  She does classes for kids and adults that really could change people, if you're willing to change yourself.  Jess has really inspired me to come out of my comfort zone and has inspired me to be a better person.  She has really helped me develop my confidence and now I feel comfortable talking in front of others or groups.  I now feel I want to take what I have learned from her and give it to others.  Finding people that treat all people with respect is hard to find in today's world.  This is Jessica.  She is a great role model for others.  She has really inspired me to try hard.  I have not only participated as an athlete, but also in classes she gives about trying to better yourself as a person. These classes talk about determination, ego, self-empowered thinking, and your willingness to change.  If we had more of this in today's world, and more people like her, I believe the everything would be at peace and we wouldn't have fights, so much anger, arguments, conflict, and so many mean people in the world.” 

“Jess, you are phenomenal!!  You have an inspiring soul and bless every player that you come in contact with.  Thank you for everything you've done for my daughter and so many other young ladies!”

“My daughter was having social and teammate issues at school and I was referred to Jess for some help.  She did a 180* turn around almost instantly! Can't recommend this kind of coaching enough especially for teenage girls who go through so much meanness in their social environments and teams.  Best investment we made for our daughter and it didn't just help her athletically. It helped her in the most important ways. Thank you!”

“Coach Jess has a wonderful way of working with young girls and teens.  I even learn new things each time I observe her coaching. Happy to have her services near us.”  

“My daughter had no idea how to shut off her self-doubt and negative self-talk. This is the place to go if your daughter's struggle with this.”  

“My granddaughters have lived through a lot. Jess is one of the only adults they trust in their young lives.  Playing sports under someone who has empathy and the ability to know what these kids need to hear in any given moment is a gift and a blessing.” 

“Jess promotes the proper mental and physical fundamentals, discipline, and FUN. She has a seemingly endless background of knowledge. My daughter has gone from novice to a confident and contributing teammate. Can't get enough!” 

“Jess, you have done nothing but good for my daughter and so many others. Thank you for wanting to be part of a better future for our kids.” 

“I wish more coaches were like you.  The amount of breaking down kids within the world of youth sports and allowing other kids to do so also is such a negative experience. Your leadership style and the way you connect with everyone you're working with is exactly what these kids (and us parents) really need.  I am grateful for your knowledge and expertise.” 

“My daughter has always loved sports but was recently bullied at school. The social dramas and mean girl behavior caused her to lose a lot of confidence and enjoyment in being active and playing sports. I was referred to Jess by another family who experienced something similar.  Since working with Jess, we see her confidence and excitement show up again. I wasn't sure when we signed up if it would be worth it but it was absolutely worth it to see her come back to herself and silence the outside noise that was dragging her down. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

“I sometimes sign my daughter up to work with Jess just for her to be present in Jess's energy. Just working with her lifts my daughter up which makes her better at everything she does. The positivity, encouragement and love goes a long way. We feel blessed to have Jess so close to us.” 

“Jess has made such a difference in my daughter's development in the last few years. Her athletic and physical skills have improved immensely and her mindset as well as her belief in her abilities have been inspired by Jess and her other coaches. I love that Jess strives to make a better world for our kids.”  

“What an inspirational environment to be part of. Jess and her coaches are inspiring, amazing and funny.  Such a wonderful environment that makes a difference in these girls lives. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds since we found you.” 

“Highly recommend working with Jess. She has a true gift!”

“Jess has worked with 3 of my daughters and I can't put into words the skills and fundamentals they've all learned and also how to be a great teammate in life. One of my daughter's has grown up and is now coaching herself and I know that can trace right back to Jess.” 

“Both of my daughters have learned so much from Jess and her leadership. She lifts the girls up and empowers them so much. I've recommended Jess to other families and they all have the same experience.”

“Jess encourages hard work, discipline, and accountability.  In the gym setting she works her athletes hard but always makes it fun and allows them to ask questions. It's fast paced and she likes to strengthen their brains as much as she does their physical bodies. We are grateful to have found a coach with a balanced and inspirational approach.” 

“This has been one of the best places for my girls to learn and grow as athletes and as individuals. They have learned so much. Thank you for everything you do!”

“It doesn't get much better than Jess's coaching and leadership.  She is fun, positive and super knowledgeable.” 

“Both of my daughters have learned SO much working with Jess and her coaches.  It's about improving as an athlete and as a functioning person, fundamentals and teamwork, and how your attitude either elevates your game or brings it (along with your whole team) down. I love that Jess and her coaches are always energetic and encourage everyone to strive to hit their highest potential. Highly recommend!”

“Jess is one of those coaches who brings out the best in everyone she works with!”

“Jess and her coaches have given my daughters the best foundation to develop themselves as athletes and as people.”  

“I feel so blessed to have found this organization! The coaching is amazing. Jess seems to know how to improve individual athlete's mindset and skills in amazing ways.”  

“My daughter can't say enough great things about her experience working with Jessica and her coaches. They have been integral in building her confidence, mindset, improved her skill level, all while working her hard and providing such a positive, fun environment for learning. They have an amazing way to teach the girls on and off the court.  We are constantly amazed at how much our daughter learns each time she works with Jess. She always comes home feeling so good about herself and it's amazing to see. We are grateful to have this kind of coaching and leadership so close to home. Jess and her coaches are all amazing role models which is what every young female athlete needs.”  

“My daughter has worked with Jess for two years now. She has fallen in love with the sport thanks to Jess and her coaching staff. Sports done right really can, do wonders for our kids. My daughter was extremely shy when she started out with Jess.  Not only has she grown in her skills, but more importantly, she has found her voice, confidence, belief in herself, her smile, and a greater joy.” 

“I think my favorite part of working with Jess is how hard she works in order to build the girls up and encourages them to be better people, no matter what their athletic skill level.”  

“The atmosphere around Jess and her coaches is awesome. All of these coaches are wonderful!”

“Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in improving all of your student's abilities. You have a great impact on people in more ways than one.”  

“My daughter absolutely credits Jess and her coaches for building her confidence. This is what sports really is all about.  Playing sports contributes to the overall development of our children where they learn lessons they'll carry with them through life.”  

“My daughter's confidence explodes after every session with Jess. She teaches in ways that the girls can learn and have fun at the same time.” 

“Jess is so good at teaching the fundamentals and building upon these fundamentals over a period of time. She understands this process of development and when the girls want immediate perfection, she's so good at reminding them that this process of development is a marathon, not a sprint to the finish line. She is so patient with kids and has a way of connecting with them that is really special. My daughter has also learned to communicate and contribute to her team whether she's on the court or on the sideline.” 

“My daughter's first day working with Jess she was crying and extremely nervous.  Within minutes, her nerves were put to ease and she hasn't looked back since.”  

“Jess and her coaching staff are next level. They actually care about the athletes and how they learn.  They have not only improved my daughter's skills but they have given her a passion and confidence I have never seen from her before. Thank you so much for what you do for these girls!”

“My daughter literally found her confidence because of Jess and her coaching staff.” 

“It only takes one session to know how good this coaching is!”
