Meet the Maker . . . 

Hi!  I'm Jessica. I’ve spent the past three decades as a wellness practitioner holding space for others through life transitions.

 

The Chrysalis Imagery cards were born from my personal walk through grief after losing my long-time mate in 2021 & the surprising discovery that I could draw.  The emergence of this latent talent was all the more magical since I was drawing on an iPad randomly gifted to me by my spouse two weeks before we learned she was dying. 

 

These soulful cards feature all original artwork & hand lettering & aim to normalize the fact that life hits us all. Sometimes hard. And sometimes right in the gut.  The messages are authentic, compassionate & candid and

land differently than what we typically see in the greeting card world.  Real messages for real people going through real things.   And always with a note of optimism that reflects our innate capacity for growing resilience and tapping into more expansive possibilities. 

​

I hope these messages help you show up with just the right tone of support and caring for your family, friends and loved ones!

​

Cheers,

Jessica
