The biology of living well.
Hi! I’m Jess — an inventor, founder, and endlessly curious about how the human body works. In 2015 came the world’s first wearable red light therapy wrap, and more than a decade since has gone into designing wellness technology and studying the science behind feeling and functioning well. My work has always been driven by one question: what actually helps people feel better? This is where I share what I’ve learned — through workshops, protocols, books and the technologies I design.

The Work
About my work.
I’ve always been more interested in solving problems than building products. Usually, the first problem is my own.
When I unexpectedly started gaining weight in my thirties, red light therapy became the experiment. That led to one of the industry’s early full-body panels in 2015 — but travel has always come first, and dragging a giant light panel around the world was obviously not happening.
I wanted something effective, wearable and portable. So I created the Lipo Wrap — the world’s first wearable red light therapy device — and NuShape grew from there.
Years later, when my grandmother began showing signs of dementia, I went deep into brain health and eventually developed the NeuroWrap, combining near-infrared light and PEMF in a single wearable device.
Those experiences changed the way I thought about wellness entirely. Technology can be powerful, but it’s only one part of the picture. Sleep, light, movement, nutrition, recovery and the nervous system all influence how well we function — and how well any intervention works.
My work has since been featured on The Rachael Ray Show, used by elite athletes and public figures, and developed through collaborations with organizations including Soho House and Equinox.
Thank you for being here.

Where It Started
More than ten years of red light, recovery, and a lot of experimenting.
These old photos take me back to the early days — prototypes, treatment rooms, professional systems, constant testing, and a lot of figuring things out as I went.
Today, red light therapy is everywhere. New brands and private-label devices seem to appear by the week.
What separates my work from so many of the companies appearing every day is simple: I only develop something when I see a real gap — something that can be done better than what already exists.
If I can’t make it better, I’d rather not make it at all.

2015 · The Early Days
Before red light became mainstream.
One of my earliest clients using one of the first panel systems I developed and worked with in 2015.
As Seen On · The Rachael Ray Show
Where the first orders came from.
When tested in the Human Lab segment on the Rachael Ray Show, tester Sandra lost two inches of belly fat in one week with the NuShape Lipo Wrap — and the first orders started coming in.
The Next Generation
From treatment room to professional technology.
Developed for doctors, wellness clinics and med spas as I refined how light could be delivered more practically.
2015 · The Wearable Breakthrough
Then I made it wearable.
Why should light therapy require a giant machine? That question led to the original NuShape LipoWrap — the first wearable red light therapy device of its kind.
Expanding the Range
More ways to recover.
The range grew — Zero EMF infrared sauna and body-contouring wraps, built for recovery you could actually do at home.
Full-Body Light
Whole-body coverage.
Full-body red light and near-infrared therapy mats — thousands of LEDs, treating the entire body in a single session.
Today · Still Building

The latest NuShape Therapy Mats coming off the production line — years of testing, iteration and listening to the people using the technology.
I wasn’t trying to change an industry. I was trying to solve a problem.

Enquire to Order →For women deciding where to go next.
Whether it’s for a week, a season, or something more — and the places worth finding when they get there.
I’m building something new for women who, like me, are always thinking about the next place — but still care about sleeping well, feeling good, keeping some rhythm to their days, and finding the parts of a place they’ll actually want to return to.
After years of building wellness companies while living and working between countries, I’ve learned that loving a place often comes down to what you find once you’re there.
Because the hard part isn’t finding somewhere beautiful. It’s knowing where you’ll fit, how to settle in, and what’s genuinely worth your time.
Beautiful Abroad is my new project in travel and living well: a personally curated guide to finding your footing, building a life around a place, and making more of the time you spend there.

Aurora Private Wellness Residences
Private wellness, in beautiful places.
Aurora was born from a love of travel and a life spent in wellness.
After years of building recovery technology, I kept noticing the same gap: you could find a beautiful place to stay, or you could find serious wellness and recovery support, but rarely both.
So I started creating the places I wanted to arrive at myself — private homes in beautiful natural settings, with the tools to rest, recover, and feel better already built into the experience.

Light isn’t just a treatment.
I’ve spent ten years working with light, and the biggest thing I’ve learned is that it isn’t just something you switch on for twenty minutes. Your body is responding to light all day long. When you get it, what kind you get, and when you stop getting it all tell your body what time it is and what it should be doing.
Sleep does the heavy lifting.
Everything I’ve built is, in one way or another, about recovering better. None of it beats sleeping properly. No device makes up for a bad night.
Your environment is an input.
Water, air, cookware, bedding, what goes on your skin, the EMF you sit in all day. None of it feels urgent and all of it adds up. Keeping that load low is unglamorous work, and it does more than most of what gets sold as wellness.
Most of it is noise.
Wellness technology has exploded, but more devices doesn’t mean better results. A lot of products are variations of the same technology with different branding around them. I’d rather know which few things are genuinely worth using, what they actually do and when they make sense, than fill a house with equipment.
The longer I work in this industry, the simpler my own routine gets. None of this is complicated. The fundamentals still matter most. Technology should support them, not become another thing you feel you need to optimize.
Online & In Person
Learn it from anywhere — or come do it with me.
The Wellness Workshop lives online, free and open to anyone. Work through it at your own pace, in your own home, on your own schedule.
The same material is also taught live — at private retreats, partner spas and hotels, and hosted workshops. Same foundations, same tools, except you’re actually on the devices, feeling the difference in the room rather than reading about it.
