Our Story: From Recovery to Resilience

After facing a series of life-altering traumas, Jessica discovered how profoundly stress and early experiences can shape the development of the brain and body. Over the course of eight years, she explored a variety of personal-growth and wellness approaches — from immersive programs and community support to coaching and faith-based learning. While each step offered insight, she continued searching for a sustainable way to strengthen her mind, restore balance, and reconnect with purpose.

Through performance coaching and neurofeedback, Jessica experienced a paradigm shift — a renewed sense of clarity, calm, and focus that allowed her to return to school with a mission: to help others achieve their own version of balance and excellence.

Alongside her, Zack, a former athlete who had experienced repeated head impacts, joined her in the neurofeedback chair. Training helped him cultivate a sense of peace, focus, and steady energy that reignited his drive and confidence.

In 2020, Jessica, Zack, and their longtime friend Paula Camarena founded The Brain Care Clinic — a space dedicated to training the brain for resilience, performance, and purpose. Supported by Dawnette Palmore and Velvet Brown, The Brain Care Clinic has changed countless lives, their families, and those they interact with daily.

Today, Jessica continues to share her story as a message of hope and transformation, inspiring others to embrace their own growth journey. At The Brain Care Clinic, peak performance isn’t just a goal — it’s a lifestyle of clarity, calm, and connection.

In 2020, Jessica founded The Brain Care Clinic, bringing a new level of care and attention to the brain wellness space. Within just three years, she expanded into multiple office locations, a testament to her leadership and commitment to client-centered growth.
