Curious about what makes a person tick, why we do what we do, what love is, what happens when we die, how to be happy, and how to be healthy in relationships are her main areas of interest. To that end, Jessica studied at various schools for most of her adult life to try to understand the human mind and heart. She holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Development from University of California Davis, and an MBA from Cornell University, as well as a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Psychology, both from Walden University. Jessica lives in Vrindavan, India at her guru Babaji’s ashram, where she studies from him the art of Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotional love. She travels to the USA multiple times per year to teach the Vedic Psychology concepts that Babaji has so graciously taught her.
