Board of Directors
Jessica- President and Founder
Jessica is the founder of Seva Health Center for Well-being and a survivor of postpartum depression. After watching her teenage son struggle with mental health, Jessica decided enough is enough, there had to be more that could be done. Living in a small town with limited resources, Jessica set out to make a difference by starting her own nonprofit with a mission to do more than just talk about mental health (now known as brain health). As a National Board-Certified Health Coach through the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (an affiliate of the National Board of Medical Examiners), Jessica understands how hard change can be. She also appreciates the value of education when it comes to improving quality of life. With roughly 21 years experience working in healthcare, Jessica has seen first hand how hard it is to navigate the mental health system. Seva exists to provide a bridge between traditional therapy and whole person/family health. Jessica holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Upper Iowa University, is a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, (NBC-HWC), 500 hr Yoga Instructor, Group Exercise Instructor, Lifestyle Weight Management Coach, Stress Management Coach, Matter of Balance Instructor, and holds additional certifications in disaster management through FEMA. Jessica is also a transformational speaker.
Heidi- Secretary
When Heidi was asked to be a part of Seva Health, she jumped at the chance to make a difference in her community. Heidi is passionate about the work that Seva Health does and feels that mental health is often misunderstood. She believes that there is a lack of awareness around mental health especially in youth populations. As a board member for Seva Health, Heidi hopes to create awareness and advocate on behalf of anyone needing support. Heidi is a graduate of Patricia Steven's Career College with a degree in business. She currently works as Branch Office Manager for Edward Jones along with running a diner and storage shed business with her husband.
