Hi, I’m Jess Gruss, a Nationally Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and I’m here to support women in finding their strength, confidence, and joy — no matter what life has thrown their way.
As a stage four cancer survivor, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel when the world expects you to keep pushing forward, even when you're barely holding it together. My personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, and recovery taught me that healing is about more than just the body — it’s about reclaiming who you are.
I help women who are navigating life after cancer and/or rediscovering themselves after years of putting everyone else first. Through one-on-one coaching and group support, I guide you to overcome internal blocks, process your experiences, and reconnect with the spark that makes you you. My approach is heart-forward, compassionate, and rooted in the belief that you are worthy of the same love and care you so freely give to others.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Remember, you are not alone — and together, we rise.

As a compassionate Licensed Esthetician with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space for survivors of domestic violence, cancer, and anyone in need of healing, relaxation, and renewal.
Having walked my own journey of healing, I deeply understand the impact of trauma and the importance of self-care. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through the power of touch therapy, facials not only restore radiance and confidence but also serve as a form of self-care and emotional healing.
I am committed to offering a relaxing and rejuvenating experience where every woman feels valued and uplifted.
"You are important. Self-care is essential."

Hannah Brookfield is a certified professional horticulturist through the American Society for Horticultural Science and a certified horticultural therapist. Her journey into the world of plants began in 2006 when she accepted a job at a local garden center, where she discovered her passion for both plants and connecting with others about them. After graduating from high school, Hannah pursued a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture at Penn State University.
Before founding BotaniGal, Hannah managed a greenhouse offering horticultural therapy services to neurodiverse adults—a role that felt especially meaningful as her younger brother is neurodiverse. This position was transformative, solidifying her belief in the healing power of plants and horticultural therapy in promoting human well-being.
In September 2020, Hannah started BotaniGal as a side project, selling houseplants and quickly realizing its unique potential. What began as a passion project soon grew into a full-time endeavor. Alongside plant sales, she began offering houseplant education and horticultural therapy sessions, further expanding her impact.
In August 2022, Hannah's hard work was recognized when she won the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce’s Carroll Biz Challenge. Later that year, in October, she opened a brick-and-mortar location in downtown Sykesville, which she has since outgrown and relocated to a larger space to accommodate her growing business.

Amy started her journey on the path to herbalism having been inspired by self-sufficiency.
