Hi, I’m
Jessica Maniatis.
I help founders and leaders reconnect with their purpose, intuition, and creative flow. Together, we build from there. My work tends to begin in the in-between, at the turning points where everything is shifting.
The 5D is available to us at any moment. It's simply the practice of seeing the world, and our work, in terms of energy. As an ascension guide, I help founders reshape their businesses to work within it, so what they build can grow as they do.
I believe founders are world builders. Every business is a small world with its own culture, values, and energy, and the ones being built right now are shaping what comes next for all of us. That feels like a responsibility worth taking seriously, and a joyful one.
I've spent over 20 years in creative leadership. I started in-house at a skincare brand, ran my own studio for a decade helping female founders launch, directed ethnography-led brand strategy for Fortune 500 brands like Google, Salesforce, and Estée Lauder, and later returned in-house as a VP of Creative. Along the way I spoke for AIGA, MOO, and the WELL Summit, and co-founded SPACE Boston, a monthly series of talks and workshops I hosted.
Across every one of those seats I noticed the same thing about the founders scaling and leading with ease: they were in a state of real energetic and creative flow. Brand Somatics™ grew out of that.
I'm formally trained in Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki, hold my RYT 200, and have practiced yoga for 25 years. More recently I've been working with frequency, sound, and singing bowls, which feels like a natural extension of how I've always understood energy. If I'm honest, the spiritual side of me has always been bigger than the brand strategist. These days, the strategy simply serves it.
Terre~Prana means breath of the earth. Our businesses, like our bodies, are living systems, and we only see a sliver of the world around us. The rest, we feel.
I live in Los Angeles with my family. Becoming a mother reshaped my life, along with my relationship to work, time, and what balance actually means.
