My journey hasn’t followed a straight line — and that’s exactly what shaped my purpose. From humble beginnings to serving overseas in the U.S. Air Force, I’ve learned how discipline, adaptability, and compassion can transform chaos into clarity. Along the way, I earned degrees in psychology and counseling, and built a career helping others navigate complex systems, lead with purpose, and reclaim balance in demanding environments.

What began as a path of survival evolved into a mission of restoration. Today, through J. Mecia Wellness & Consulting, I merge my background in mental health, leadership, and logistics to help high-achieving women and organizations pause, realign, and create systems that support both peace and performance. My work is rooted in one truth — transformation doesn’t start with doing more; it begins with learning how to breathe again.

Event design will always be my joy — it’s where I learned that beauty and healing often meet in the same space. That same joy fuels my work today — guiding women to build peace, systems, and rhythms that support both who they are and who they’re becoming.
