Jessica's work is always marked by power, reverence, and grace. She is radically accountable and radically honest. I have complete trust that she can lead any group or person that she declares - and create any result she believes she can, be it spiritual or material. You are in good hands with her. I recommend you get as much time as you can as a student of hers.

~ Bryan Franklin, Senior Partner, California Leadership Center


Thank you very much. This is a very nurturing and holding place for women - important for women in transitions, women who seek clarity and better relationships with themselves and others – A place for self-nourishment and to slow down and connect with oneself and others.

~ Elsa Ng, LMFT – Crisis Specialist


Jessica opens up herself and her home to our women's group in such an amazingly warm and genuine way. When I first joined, her kindness and welcoming presence immediately set me at ease. The circle is by far one of the most fabulous I've ever attended -- juicy, intimate, real, and truly supportive on so many levels.

~ Alexandra Davidson, student of clinical psychology

Thank God you are doing this work...you are doing it for all women. I honor you and send you support and encouragement as you take these bold and transformative steps.  The world needs you to do it!  Bless you!!  With love,

I have been working with Jessica for well over a year. Her coaching and teaching skills are remarkable. While always competent, knowledgeable, and profession she also has the gift of being very personal, making me feel like I am working with someone who truly cares about me as a person and has a genuine interest in helping me grow. Through our work together I have come to know myself better, have grown in self-confidence and come to see more clearly my own potential for growth. I find Jessica to be personable, inspiring, insightful and totally fun to be with. Wise beyond her years!

~ Norm, Ordained Unitarian Minister

I took a workshop with Jessica and I found her to be extremely personable, caring and efficient in all her communications. She created both a safe container in which to explore and the opportunity to challenge oneself. Her attention to detail and her time management was truly impressive!". I look forward to working with Jessica again in the future!

If you are doing battle against personal demons, Jessica is the one you want by your side. She allowed me to be completely honest about what I want and who I am. Talking with her, there is never any need to hide. She gave me the perfect mixture of empathy and nuts & bolts advocacy...Now I am much more confident in the "rightness" of my path, and my ability to stay on track towards my goals.

~ Harmony Niles, Facilitator & Coach

I can count on Jessica to listen and take in new ideas without judgment. I know she'll try it on, even if it seems foreign. I can also count on her for emotional support. I know she will listen to me. She will have intelligent insightful feedback. Jessica has a beautiful way of listening to people. Really listening.

~ Paget Norton, ESL Teacher, Playwright

Keep it coming, girl! I love hearing you and your sharing so publicly. It's not something I play with much anymore so I appreciate getting your edgy revelations. Maybe someday again I'll play with that again...in the mean time, thank you for the vicarious blessing! Take care, sister.

~Kathryn T.

Jessica - I acknowledge you for your love and commitment to be the best mom you can be for your son Shayen. Love,

~Laurie Parle

I met Jessica almost one year ago, I was taking her amazing yoga class at the YMCA and she invited me to participate in a woman circle....I didn't know what was exactly that invitation means but I said yes. She has been a blessing in my life she have helping me to go through and understand many aspects of my life, career, passions, love, emotions, growth, self confidence....she is just great, I'm so thankful that she crossed my path, I was needing someone like her and she show up....I have an infinite gratitude to Jessica. And since then I have seen her in many other projects as a great professional woman and I realized that all the people that know her feel the same as me.

~ Marina Ubaldini, Facilitator, Doula

I have always thought you are an amazing potent goddess!
with love and respect,

Descansos Part 1: Marking the Small & Big Deaths

grief jessica hadari Descansos: Resting places. Symbols that mark a death…

A few weeks ago (around the same time a woman in my women’s circle was diagnosed with cancer) my women’s circle began the Descansos process, taken from the book Women Who Run with the Wolves. In this process I took the time (several weeks, in this case) to look at the time-line of my life birth to now and mark where the small deaths and big deaths have taken place; All of the moments in my life where I experienced impact;

Or loss;

Or where there was a fork in the road and I took one path, when I could have taken another;

Or where I experienced an event which changed the way I thought/believed about myself, the world, about men, about women…

Mamma Dragon

My Saturn return started exactly when I turned 29 last May 2008. A lover broke up with me suddenly, unexpectedly – the illogical and abrupt nature of the breakup hit my Adoption Button (aka: the “I’m Wrong” “I’m not enough” button) I imagine that when I was adopted I might have assessed that mommy “left me” because im Wrong, im not Enough; themes of mind chatter that have been with me for a long while. I couldn’t talk yet – so I didn’t let anyone in my adoptive family touch me for a month or so after the adoption. According to adopted Mom I literally wouldn’t let anyone touch me, for about a month…I was one year old at the time.
