In 1997 she left her job in the biotechnology field to fulfill her passion to become a massage therapist. That year she completed her training at the Swedish Institute in NYC and became a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist. In 2013 after practicing massage for 16 years, she took her combined science and massage background to a new level when she began teaching at the Fingerlakes School of Massage in Mount Kisco NY.

After the closing of FLSM in 2019 and the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, Jessica began teaching kinesiology virtually in a massage program at a vocational school located in Manhattan.
