MEET JESS
Jess is the founder of ZEN Coaching, a holistic wellbeing practice based in Maputo, Mozambique, bringing together mindfulness-based life coaching, somatic practices and therapeutic creative expression. Her own path into this work came from personal experience: after building a successful corporate career, she found herself “stuck and uninspired” despite outward success, and turned to coaching to reclaim what she calls her “personal power to make conscious decisions.”
That journey now shapes how she works with clients — with a grounded, human-centred approach aimed at creating safe, reflective spaces for real change rather than quick fixes. Her practice spans individual coaching, guided meditation, personal development work, therapeutic art and somatic movement, and extends into workshops and retreats for both individuals and organisations.
ZEN Coaching also runs bilingual (English and Portuguese) workshops on topics like time management, emotional regulation, mindful communication and personal leadership, delivered in person or online for teams of any size, as well as a dedicated programme introducing children and teenagers to emotional awareness through meditation, breathing and art. Jess holds several coaching certifications, including as an Energy Alignment Coach and Master Life Coach, though the specifics of her training aren’t fully detailed on her website.
WHO IT’S FOR
Jess’s work suits individuals wanting support with stress, emotional balance or personal growth, whether through one-on-one coaching or guided meditation. Her therapeutic art and somatic movement offerings can suit those processing grief, trauma or general mental health challenges, across age groups. Workshops and retreats are designed for both individuals and organisations — including corporate teams looking for practical tools on topics like time management and emotional regulation — while a dedicated programme extends her approach to children and teenagers.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Coaching sessions with Jess are online, one-on-one and centred on your specific goals, while guided meditation and somatic movement are offered individually or in a group setting. Workshops for teams and organisations typically run 60–90 minutes, delivered in person in Maputo or online, and can be tailored to a company’s needs in English or Portuguese. ZEN Coaching also hosts community events — from free mindful morning sessions to paid workshops on topics like mental health and self-awareness — usually held at partner venues around Maputo. Exact formats and durations for one-on-one sessions beyond coaching aren’t specified, so these are worth confirming when booking.
