Her work centers around helping people understand how frequencies support the body at the cellular level to improve recovery, resilience, and overall performance. Jessica studied Finance and Management at the University of Colorado Boulder, but she has always been drawn to wellness and human optimization - really, what it means to feel good on every level: physically, mentally, and energetically.These days, Jessica gets to work with athletes and wellness leaders who share that same passion. It’s amazing to see how HAELO and PEMF therapy are reshaping the way people think about recovery and performance. At its core, it’s simply about helping people feel and function better every day.At HAELO, we’re taking a technology once used mostly by pros and clinicians and translating it into a seamless, at-home experience that helps anyone train smarter, recover faster, and live in sync with their body’s natural rhythms.For more on HAELO, be sure to check out https://www.haelo.com/ and @haelo_social *SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.
