Hidden Gems: Meet Jessica McLean of Self Soul Spiritual

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica McLean.

Hi Jessica, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I initially went to ASU to be an environmental engineer and quickly found that was not what I wanted to do. I had gained a lot of weight and later found out I had a hypothyroid. I did the Insanity Workout program in 2013 and then started participating in yoga challenges I saw on Instagram and FELL IN LOVE. Yoga was like my gateway into the “spiritual realm”. I loved going upside down into handstands, the progression of flexibility that came forth over time and the connection of movement with breath that made me be present in my body.

Fast forward to 2017 when I decided to sign up for 30 days of yoga for $30 (a New Years’ special) at Spirit of Yoga. I ended up driving to California on a whim the first week of the year after attending a few yoga classes and stayed at a random hotel next to a little yoga studio named “Dream Yoga” in Hollywood. So many things have lead me to places that have shown me my higher purpose to teach and be a part of the spiritual collective to introduce others to their internal “superpowers” of being themselves.

I then signed up for YTT 200hr that August, graduated April 2018, had my own yoga studio for a little while and now I teach once a month at different locations just to give reverence to my first love. So many experiences have shaped me into the person I am but yoga has opened up so many doors now that I am a spiritual life coach, reiki practitioner, tarot reader, psychic medium and healer.

I am where I am today because I have had many people come before me. Shoutout to my business coach Candy Wheeler, my healer Bee Barrera, my reiki teachers Javante and Betty Battle, my Yoga teacher Kate Shipp, and so many others who have been a part of this journey thus far.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Some of the obstacles and struggles along the way have been me against myself. Healing is the hardest shit to do because the victim mindset and past traumas try to override the new you that you want to become. I was bullied; physical, emotionally and verbally abused as a kid/teenager by a few of my girlfriends I hung out with and that left a huge imprint on me and my heart.

Opening up and healing from then on has been a battle on who to trust but ultimately, life doesn’t happen to you; it happens for you and now I am able to relate to my clients, friends, and community on a deeper level because of these past experiences.

We’ve been impressed with Self Soul Spiritual, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My handle on IG is @jesssicaness and the three S’s in Jessica stand for Self, Soul, Spiritual. My business is this big umbrella of all that is me.

I am a Gemini, jack of all trades and because I want to be able to offer so many things, that’s exactly what @selfsoulspiritual is. I am a yoga teacher, natal astrologer, spiritual life coach, intuitive reader, healer, reiki practitioner, chakra balancing expert, and so many more things but these are the big ones that I have created offerings around.

What sets me apart from others is that I can intertwine all of my skills and create programs, readings and healing sessions to really tailor to my client/community. There is no rigidity and I am able to move freely how I want because life is ever-changing. I have built my business from scratch and so far have done all of the behind-the-scenes work on my own, working on my website and getting a virtual assistant to help me reach even bigger masses with my content/offerings.

So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
