The Invitation into more JOY

I'm so glad you found your way here.

This space is more than a gallery — it's a sanctuary for what I call somaCREATIVE™ medicine. My intention is that you leave here feeling more expressed, more grounded, and holding a new anchor for your joy.

I've spent 15+ years as a Senior Visual Effects Compositor, supporting films like Disney's Cinderella, Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and yes — those Geico Gecko commercials. You've probably already received joy from my pixel magic without knowing it.

That industry taught me everything about turning invisible things into visual form. Then I turned that same skill on my own inner world — through healing, through trauma, through the messiest and most beautiful parts of being alive. What came out was somaCREATIVE™ practice. And this wearable art, these books, this whole ecosystem — is the proof it works.

What I've learned is this: anchoring into the life you want requires you to start showing up, sharing your journey, and having fun. Joy isn't a reward at the end of the healing path. It's the path itself.

I'm here to take the "work" out of spirituality and healing and turn it back into a joyful, fun game. Whether you're anchoring into your creative practice, your first piece of wearable art, or simply finding your way back to yourself — these tools are here for your evolution.

As a queer, non-binary somatic artist and healer of Taíno and Cañari ancestry, I express my medicine through non-duality. I don't believe in the binary of right or wrong. I believe in the full spectrum of the human experience.

Healing isn't the duality of something being broken. Fuck that. Healing is opening the doorways of welcoming all parts of yourself home into the magical world of you. The dark and the light. All of it.

More free. More abundant. More you.

With joy, Jessenia
