Guest Bio:

I was diagnosed with MS at 15, which kickstarted my career in self-advocacy earlier than most teenagers were allowed to choose their own haircut. By 27, I was in medically induced menopause after a stem cell transplant. At 30, I was diagnosed with ADHD, which finally explained why my brain had always been a bit like a browser with 47 tabs open, all playing music. I don't have a typical wellness story. I have a resilience story stitched together with nutrition, movement, colour, and a little bit of chaos.

Now I work as a holistic nutrition coach, helping women fuel their brains and bodies through plant-based living that is realistic, satisfying, and flexible. I teach women to advocate for themselves in health settings that too often ignore them. I'm also a certified spin instructor and personal trainer who believes in movement for joy, strength, and the occasional endorphin-fuelled dance party on the bike.

Outside of coaching and fitness, I make colourful skirts with giant pockets, knit cozy things with rescued yarn, and turn my hobbies into handmade products that spark joy. I built jessicafaulds.com as a place to share my tools, my story, my shop, and my voice. Whether you're here for the meal plans, the movement, or the messy truth about health and healing, I promise to keep it real, honest, and a little bit weird.
