About Your Mindfulness Trainer
Hi! I’m Jess Lipman, and I’m so happy you’re here.
I’m a Unified Mindfulness L2 Coach, and I live to help people fall in love with mindfulness (and, in turn, fall in love with their LIFE).
I’m founder of The Mindful Nest, a community and training institute designed to help impact makers and innovators integrate mindfulness (and all its benefits) into their daily lives. I’m also a marketing consultant for the best in mindfulness, wellness and personal development. I’m Editor-in-Chief of PersonalBrand.com. I’m co-founder of Recovery Dharma, a nonprofit and peer-led program using Buddhist practices and principles to heal the suffering of addiction.
Innovators, impact-obsessors, and entrepreneurs come to me to unlock their next level and build a game-changing mindfulness practice. They’re aware of the potent gift inside of them, and they’re aware of the impact they’re trying to make over there. I support them in bridging the gap, learning the attentional skills that matter most, and guiding them on a holistic journey of optimizing their relationship with themselves, as well as with their health, mindset, career, passions and relationship with others. I do so equipped with Unified Mindfulness and other highly effective mindset and psycho-spiritual tools.
My Experience with Mindfulness. I’ve been meditating for over 15 years, but found that my practice accelerated tremendously once I was introduced to Unified Mindfulness in 2011. I am a student of esteemed mindfulness teachers including Shinzen Young (founder of Unified Mindfulness system and author of The Science of Enlightenment) and George Haas (founder of Mettagroup).
My specialities include:
Interpersonal Development
Mindset Optimization
Pattern shifting and Habit Development
Identity and Existentialism
Attachment Repair using Mindfulness
Family System
Sober Living + Addiction Recovery
It’d be an honor to support you on your path of transformation.

What people are saying
It takes courage to dive into your inner world and unlock your potential.
I see you and I’ve got you.
Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine.
“Before working with Jess, I didn’t believe that I could have the life I so badly wanted. I was so accustomed to hiding my authentic self from the world and honestly...myself.
Despite being professionally successful, I had no sense of direction or motivation because I was making choices in my life based on what I believed others thought was best for me.
I would frequently wake up in the night with a feeling of anxiety. I had a million things to do, yet none of them really excited me. I never wanted to admit that I wasn’t happy.
Deep down, something told me there was something more I needed to do with my life…more meaning, more purpose. And I didn’t even know where to begin to uncover this.
That’s when I called Jess!
Since working with Jess, I stepped into a major role in building a company (something I never thought was possible) that now provides great work/life balance and true excitement. I’m more present in my relationships, and I beat myself up a lot less.
I’m more willing to be an honest, authentic version of myself without obsessing about what people are going to think.
Jess makes me feel powerful, calm, and loved and inspires me to shine. These days, I’m making choices based on new revelations brought up during our coaching sessions and reflection, instead of fear.
I am more confident in who I am than I have ever been and have been using my voice and shining my light in the world.”
— Hannah H., Creative Agency Manager, Minneapolis, MN
She coached me through the tough conversations I would face and gave me the tools to believe in myself and negotiate for what I needed.
“Jessica helped me successfully navigate 2 job transitions with great results.
I was at an impasse with a long time employer due to compensation and culture. I needed help to pull the trigger and make some changes.
I am not typically a “self-help” enthusiast, but Jess’s method is grounded and logical, and ultimately fit my needs perfectly. She helped me realize my value and convinced me to take the risk with another employer. While, the new employer turned out not to be a good fit, she helped me identify it as the learning experience that it was and try again.
She coached me through the tough conversations I would face and gave me the tools to believe in myself and negotiate for what I needed. She showed me that it’s all about focusing on what you can offer while staying true to your own needs. She was a great advocate.
My next move resulted in a 30% more compensation, increased responsibility, upward mobility, and even company-paid grad school. I am very grateful for her coaching!”
— Joseph A., Environmental Division Manager, Philadelphia, PA

We grow in community, and this time calls for a mindfulness movement.
Who in your life can use some relief? Sharing mindfulness with others is not just subtle service, it’s significant service. Please share this page with your people. Together, we can rise up in wakeful, loving awareness to support each other in powerful, courageous ways during these times (and beyond). It starts with ourselves. It starts with a committed, robust, consistent practice. I hope to support you in cultivating that mindfulness foundation and momentum in the coming days.
