Me.You.We.
Grief Education Programs

Wayfinding is the ancient art of figuring out where you are going when you don’t actually know your destination. You need a compass and a direction. Not a map - a direction.

Testimonial

  • "Jessica is a safety net you hope you never need, but will be so grateful you have it when you need it most. Jessica responded to my message of the unexpected news of our loved one with a comforting landing space. Not only did Jessica give me support, she quickly and easily used metaphors to teach me how to support my children. In just 15 minutes, she equipped me with skills that empowered me to handle the conversations with my children at a level that was appropriate for them. A situation I was scared to tell them about turned into a 'normal' experience for them because I had the skills. Seeing their grandma sick turned into a race with my son vs. his grandma's "chair car," and my daughter saying, "let's decorate your new chair like a parade, grandma." Jessica - thank you for giving me the skills that empowered me to provide my family with a safe space that allowed us the ability to navigate difficult times. "

  • "J Porte Coaching & Consulting was something I didn’t think I needed. With the changes that graduating college inevitably comes with, my coaching sessions with Jessica helped me with long and short term planning along with sorting my work and personal life in a healthy, effective way."

    — J. Alvarez-Alaba, UCSD Alumni

  • "I have a recurring issue with time management. In particular, my work/life balance is skewed and I tend to focus on work which inadvertently causes challenges in my personal life. I came to Jessica with the objective to analyze and evaluate which areas could be alleviated in an effort to streamline my work days and allow me to disconnect at regular intervals. Jessica has been integral in helping me identify patterns and recognize areas in which I could systematically restructure and produce a more effective and timely workflow. Even at our first session, she patiently listened, asked guiding questions, and helped me come to solutions I could implement immediately. This was my first experience with coaching and I was not sure what to expect, but she made it a very enjoyable and thought provoking experience. She guided me in looking intrinsically to address the issues that I had brought up in our sessions. Without her assistance, I would not have been able to come to the same realizations nor implement them."
