Veronica’s Vessel was created by Veronica “Vee” Jacobs, an educator, birth doula, reflective practitioner, event curator and author based in CT. She is also a wife and mama of two beautiful children who continue to shape and deepen the way she moves through the world. 

​

As a Black woman who has navigated toxic perfectionism, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure to constantly produce, Veronica has learned what it means to pour into others from an empty cup. After earning her B.A. in Human Development & Family Studies and her M.Ed. in Higher Education & Student Affairs Administration, she spent 10 years supporting college students, faculty and staff in identity development, social justice education, personal growth and building leadership capacity. While working in higher education, she  started craving more alignment in her own life. That required her to begin tending to her own vessel, heal, reflect, unlearn, rest, and recognize that her worth was never tied to productivity. During this spiritual journey, she became a mother just two weeks before the COVID pandemic began, and everything shifted. Motherhood invited her into a new relationship with herself and revealed how much women need spaces where they can exhale, be cared for and return to themselves. 

​

She created Veronica’s Vessel, LLC because she knows too many women, especially women of color, are navigating motherhood without space to be truly honest about what their vessels are holding and without access to the tools and community that will help lighten the load. Veronica's approach to facilitating and holding spaces is holistic, inclusive and rooted in the belief that women and mothers deserve a village, to not just operate out of survival mode, and to have a community to process the experiences, relationships, responsibilities, dreams and stories that live within their bodies.

 

Veronica’s Vessel holds space not only for mothers but for the women within them - the women seeking rest, release, joy, nervous system care, community and support through every season of life.

​

Veronica's Vessel is rooted in the belief that we are all vessels. We each carry stories, experiences, wisdom, and possibilities that shape who we are. The vessel also honors the ways women and mothers carry life, community, and ancestral memory across generations. When we tend to what we carry, we create space for deeper connection, restoration, and wholeness.
