Meet Jess-Your Wellness Guide & Accountability Partner
Founder of Rise with Rees | Wellness Accountability Coach | Nature-Driven Motivator
Hey there! I’m Jess — part coach, part hype woman, and your go-to guide for building a healthy lifestyle into a busy life.
Before Rise with Rees, I spent years in the high-pressure world of defense tech and program management. I was thriving on paper—but behind the scenes, I was burned out, stressed, and disconnected from what made me feel alive. As a burnout recovery coach, I understand the importance of prioritizing wellness.
What many people don’t know is that my journey started back in 2008 as a fitness specialist on an Air Force base, where I helped service members and their families with 5Ks, fitness programs, and wellness goals. That early experience shaped my passion for movement, holistic health, and helping people feel strong and capable in their bodies.
Life has reminded me—through the loss of loved ones—that health isn’t a luxury. It’s everything. One quote shifted my entire perspective:
“A healthy person has many goals. A sick person has only one.”
So I made the change. Now, I help others embrace outdoor wellness and achieve their simple wellness goals.

In 2020, I was striving for my idea of success while feeling the weight of burnout. As a burnout recovery coach, I understood the importance of a healthy lifestyle, but I was working insane hours and was mission-focused, all while at my highest weight. I felt miserable about my health and knew that I needed to embrace holistic health practices and incorporate outdoor wellness activities to do better. It was clear that I had to simplify my approach to wellness.

In 2021, I found accountability partners who acted like a burnout recovery coach, encouraging me to show up not only for them but also for myself. I made my health a priority, embracing a healthy lifestyle and creating much healthier habits through holistic health practices and outdoor wellness activities.
