Jessica Handlan
OPERATIONS MANAGER
Our newest team member, Jessica Handlan brings a new flare to Kashaya. As a graduate from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, Jessica is an advocate for holistic wellness and strives to enable those around her to find the light within themselves. Clients can expect a full evaluation of primary vs. secondary foods (lifestyle on and off the plate) and finding balance inside and out. Her approach to coaching is strategically designed to ask deep, engaging questions that allow her clients to organically discover the answers, while she grounds herself as their rock – “someone you can truly count on to hold space, accountability and to serve as your mirror,” she says. Jessica represents someone who is receptive, dedicated, and compassionate. She dives to new depths to cultivate a safe, comfortable container for personal growth by acknowledging her clients’ path as their own unique journey by exploring bio-individuality (a concept which gives the client the opportunity to make choices that recalibrate mind, body, and soul). This style will “inevitably spark transformation” stated one of her recent clients. She has trained under some of the most admirable healers such as Dr. Sangeeta Pati, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Mehmet Oz, David Wolfe, to name a few. We’re so honored to welcome Jessica on board and to watch her bring expansiveness to our products!
