About Jessalynn

As a child who grew up very alone and experiencing many forms of trauma from the time I was born I always knew my life was not normal. I spent most of my life feeling ashamed and burying everything I had experienced and was feeling. Without even realizing how much my past was affecting my current life, it took a very painful experience with a friend that plunged me into therapy and began the ripple effect of healing.

Through therapy I started to process 3 decades of pain and trauma, from physical, mental and emotional abuse, to time spent in Foster care and women’s shelters. I realized that there was one major experience that I had been hiding from since the age of 10. I am a victim of the Child Sexual abuse/ Child porn case from Willow River BC in 1998.

These experiences I have had in my life could have lead me down a very dark and dangerous path. And while I have made many mistakes along the way I have also created an incredibly beautiful life that I often feel I have no business living. I own my dream business, an online clothing boutique Doted. I have a beautiful daughter and step daughter, and an incredible Husband that has been my rock for 15 years. We recently made the decision to leave our home town of Prince George and create a fresh start in Kelowna BC, away from all the pain and memories that have haunted me for so many years.

After decades of being silenced my story has always been there inside of me waiting to be heard. I knew that I wanted to share it with the world to give hope to anyone that is suffering from the effects of trauma, and prove that no matter where you came from or what your story is, there can be beauty on the other side of pain.
