Jocelyn is a supportive and responsive community leader, consistently taking action to promote inclusiveness, accessibility, and undermining oppression in the spaces she's a part of.
Her leadership is guided by deep care and courageous vulnerability; she leverages her own experiences of trauma and healing to invite others to move beyond shame and through their own healing journeys.
I'm grateful for Jocelyn's presence across different personal and community contexts and am excited for anyone who has the opportunity to work with her!

Ellen K.B, Executive Coach
The local TV station and newspapers were eager to report about teen sexuality and interviewed Jocelyn both before and after the Sex in the Suburbs event. Jocelyn spoke to 140 parents/professionals, it was her name and comments that were on everyone’s lips as they were filing out of the venue. They were just wowed.

If anyone can teach a young person about how to find their passion and then find a way to make the necessary connections to work in that area, Jocelyn can.

Mother of Zach, Coaching Client
Jocelyn has worked with my son these past two months and we’ve seen a big difference in his job search. In fact, in addition to the JCC job he now works part-time for a lighting/media production company, too. They hired him to work at SXSW. I have given Jocelyn’s name to two of my friends whose children need a little help looking for work. One is a girl in high school who is trying to find her first job and the other a 23 year old young man who will graduate from college soon. I’m very impressed by Jocelyn’s work.

At the beginning of the pandemic, Jocelyn led the way to create and grow a highly successful virtual meditation community. As a member of this community, I personally witnessed Jocelyn’s organizational abilities, and the sensitivity and skill she brings to working with others as a social worker and mindfulness practitioner. I believe Jocelyn’s unique combination of talents will enable her to compassionately coach and support others to be better leaders.

Jocelyn saw something in me and continually encouraged me to be the shining star that I am; that encouragement has stayed with me and helped me to never forget what I’m capable of. Jocelyn is a motivator and sounding board that I am so happy to have in my life.

Bonnie, 57 Beyond Surviving Alum
Jocelyn offers unconditional love and support to her clients. She was instrumental in helping me in my healing journey and I am grateful for her expert guidance. I most appreciate how Jocelyn met me wherever I was. She was able to provide whatever I needed - encouragement, information, ideas, or simply being seen and heard. I was in my 50s before I discovered that trauma recovery even existed and I wondered if it was worth it at that age. Now, I believe it is never too late to heal, and at 57 I am enjoying my life more than ever before.

Martha Rogers, Healing Through Creative Workshop Series Coordinator
The resulting energy of connection and willing vulnerability in the room moves me every time. This experience of abundant caring attention and respectful sharing is a powerful antidote to trauma.

Jocelyn is such a role model and inspiration to me. I wanted to let her know how far I’ve come. I now run a girls sexual abuse group. Jocelyn helped me transform from victim to survivor, and without her, I never could have been as brave.
