“Every time I met with Jess in The Hollow for a session, incredible things would happen within 48 hours of working together.”
“I came to Metamorphosis wanting to work on my money wounds and release ancestral trauma around money. I had no idea that this could be achieved through spiritual work, I thought I was doomed to spreadsheets and budgets for the rest of my life. But after a few sessions in The Hollow, I've quantum leaped and healed astronomically, and have become a six figure earner in the last month after integrating the work we did in Metamorphosis.
My favorite part of working with Jess in the Metamorphosis container was that every time we met, I walked away with new actions, rituals, and spells that felt specific to me. Sometimes coaches will give clients canned worksheets or homework items that don't feel like they're specifically tailored to my goals and my needs, but Jess channels things through both her spirit guides and her clients', which makes for incredibly personal systems for me to put into place in my personal life, my business, and my creative endeavors.
If you're a fledgling witch looking for new tools, or a person with a mind full of old stories around self worth, or even a spiritual baddie with over a decade of experience in the healing arts, Metamorphosis will radically shift things for you. Every time I met with Jess in The Hollow for a session, incredible things would happen within 48 hours of working together. I hope you take this plunge. I'm so glad I did.”

“I walked away clear about what kind of creative and theatrical fulfillment I needed moving forward…”
“I booked a session with Jess at The Hollow out of curiosity and a sense of self-loving fun. I didn't have many expectations, but she still far exceeded my hopes and thoughts about what may or may not occur.
The family members who came through the strongest were shocking to me, and Jess' input from them was so spot-on that I felt deep internal healing around those relationships. I was able to tap into the love available from these two family members in its purest form, absent of the conditioned self and generational traumas. It was so beautiful.
Our session and what Jess picked up on from these relatives also opened my eyes to something I had never considered before regarding raising a boy and how healing that would be for me and my whole family. It's too long a story for a testimonial, but know that I will be forever changed by it. In even more layered goodness, I walked away clear about what kind of creative and theatrical fulfillment I needed moving forward-- something I couldn't quite put my finger on before then. As I reflect back on this I can't help but think of what a multi-dimensional and dynamic healing session this was. Go to The Hollow. Give yourself a gift.”

“I felt very safe, seen, and validated throughout my time with Jess.”
“I’ve been working on personal growth and radical self love for almost a year before working with Jess. During this time, I had re-established lost connections with loved ones, have been working toward a big career change, and had added a number of mindfulness practices to my daily routine.
I had been feeling a disconnect with my spirituality, though, I knew I wanted to connect with it further and but I didn’t know the best ways to do that. A close friend of mine had recently worked with Jess, and shared with me how healing that experience had been.
I’ve always enjoyed sessions with mediums and I feel a deep fondness for all things spiritual, but I have never had such a meaningful session as the one I had with Jess. When she asked me to reach out to any of my spirit guides, I felt called to reach out to my own spirit, my grandfather’s spirit, and my grandmother’s. She communicated with my grandparents, and found that the third spirit was playful and so funny, and recently came to existence. We had connected with my nephew!”
“This is someone who I have felt a deep connection with since he was born two years ago. She confirmed that he and I are soulmates, which felt so true and special, and made sense as to why his spirit showed up when I had reached out for my own spirit. Communicating with these spirits brought me so much joy - I felt so connected with life. I also felt so much love and acceptance through my time with Jess.
Jess also helped me identify goals and areas of my life that I wanted to let go of. I found myself crying tears of pain, joy, and relief throughout our session. It was very healing and lovely. I felt very safe, seen, and validated throughout my time with Jess. I know it is just the beginning for me in my journey, though I plan to return for additional sessions with her and I know that I’ll feel called to do so again in the near future. I would highly recommend sessions with Jess to anyone who is looking to more deeply connect with themselves and with their spirituality.”

“Unusual and highly fluid, this session took on a life of its own, as I had hoped.”
The year of Covid brought us many changes .
First my son contacted it, lost work, lost his job and lost his life.
Then, my partner's brother dies of complications of Covid. Next, my partner's mother came to live with us for her hospice weeks.
We both worked very little, but not for not trying. We were home. We were grieving and we allowed ourselves the feelings and thoughts that go along with that experience. Since my son's death at first was surrounded by some unknowns, I sought some clarity and relief of pain through working with Jess at The Hollow. It was an intuitive choice and she came recommended by someone I respect.
Unusual and highly fluid, this session took on a life of its own, as I had hoped. We seemed in the zone of truth and authenticity and possibility. It became a healing session and I carry with me the wonderful memories of these hours together. Jess is a special kind of medium, highly tuned in to her frequency or experience and very capable of communicating the messages.
Very pleased, I have recommended her to many folks.
You don't have to have lost someone to enjoy and learn from Jess. If you have an instinct to try a session with her, just do it. She is affordable, and fully engaged with just you when she does a session. It is centering and even fun at times.”
Elizabeth Rydall, The Hollow Client
“Participating in Coven Quest with Jess had a palpable positive effect on my life and sense of self that I still experience on a daily basis.”
“Learning from Jess and the community she created opened me up to myself and the world in ways I previously did not have the tools to imagine. I came to Jess with just the barest inkling of belief in myself as a spiritual person, let alone as someone who could access her own magic. But Jess is such a deeply non-judgmental, emotionally supportive, and richly knowledgeable teacher that she gently but surely led me to a new understanding. Through my time in coven quest I found within myself a power I did not know was there, and began to find answers to questions about that I had long asked.
As a group we learned concrete information, history, and skills of magic. But Jess also put equal emphasis on fostering a sense of security and joy around owning the magic within each of us. I came into Coven Quest as a cynic full of skepticism and fear -- and left Coven Quest as a cynic who is open to the truth of my own magical gifts, able to access a safety and power within myself that I was previously too afraid to even know was there.
Jess built and fostered a supportive and warm community of witches at different levels. The group provided care and inspiration to one another which was foundational to the joy and growth we each got from Coven Quest. Jess is a steadfast and comforting leader who placed her trust in each of us. She participated herself in the rituals we held in a way that created an even deeper sense of community, mutual support, and belief.
Being a part of Coven Quest spurred a spiritual inflection point in my life, and gave me access to a richer plane of communication with myself, and to realms understanding beyond those I could previously see. If you are willing to give yourself over to the process, I cannot imagine a person who would not benefit deeply from Jess’s teachings, spiritual guidance, community building, and formidable gifts. Thank you Jess, for giving me a map to find home in myself and to find home in the world on all its planes. I feel so happy for all the future students that await you.”

“So many toxic thought processes and habits have been recognized and extracted from my life already, and in replacement healing as well as ease in approaching conflict.”
“In the recent days since our final session of my three-month Metamorphosis, I have felt overwhelming growth, gratitude, openness, and empowerment reflecting on our work and pondering on how I go forward. First off, I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Jess when I did: going through a number of intense physical, emotional, and relational shifts that required more than my typical mental spiral and closed-off analysis.
While I didn’t necessarily see it at first, realizing how I found comfort in one answer rather than curiosity and exploration of that out of my control was the key to my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual freedom. So many toxic thought processes and habits have been recognized and extracted from my life already, and in replacement healing as well as ease in approaching conflict.
I feel empowered to address issues, or at the very least, recognize my tendency and desire to run away from things that scare or exhaust me. I feel that I am on a truly powerful path that has already begun to change my life and will continue to for the rest of it. All of this is thanks to Jess. Her love, curated environment, and healthy work allow me to push boundaries and ask questions that have been nothing short of revolutionary.”

“There is something about Jess' genuine spirit that allowed me to trust her easily, and I am so glad I did because many of the things Jess pulled from my reading have already come true.
I had been feeling incredibly lost and in need of guidance the first time I reached out to Jess. I had been feeling really discouraged in my personal love life and even though things were ok with my career, I knew that I wanted more. Jess was prompt in setting up time with me which was very much needed at that time and we did a 2 hour session that included candle work, tarot reading, connections with my father and a Reiki session. The accuracy of my Tarot card reading and speaking with my father are something I'm still telling people about the experience months later. Jess told me about so many SPECIFIC things coming my way, and SOON, and she was right!! From my love life to my career - so many new doors opened for me and it was her guidance, kindness and warmth that made me trust my heart with Jess. She did not steer me wrong!
Jess was incredibly open and kind. She is easy to speak to, makes you feel really comfortable and allows you to tap into yourself in a way that I haven't found with other readings. She is honest and open. There is something about Jess' genuine spirit that allowed me to trust her easily and I am so glad I did because many of the things Jess pulled from my reading have already come true.
I was really in the search for some answers regarding my love life as I had been feeling really discouraged when I reached out to schedule a session with Jess. She did my reading and assured me that I am on my right path and there wasn't any more that I could be doing, which was really reassuring to hear. Soon after our session, I met someone (after 3 LONG YEARS OF NOTHING) and I do credit Jess with allowing that energy to find me.
Something that surprised me was that my grandmother on my father's side was in The Hollow. I was never close with her while she was alive, but with everything that Jess described, it was most definitely my grandmother. It was actually very lovely to know that even if I didn't feel close to my grandmother on Earth, that she still looks out for me on the other side.”
“I didn't have any fears outside of just hoping that Jess and I could make a real connection and I would feel like I could trust her. That came VERY easily and almost instantaneously. I was also fearful that I wouldn't gain any answers as my questions were really specific but that wasn't true at all!!
Every question I asked had a very detailed answer the follow and so many of those things have come true for me in the past few months.
I have already recommended Jess to many of my friends and family members (and a couple have already seen her!!). To be truthful, I didn't have to do much swaying because as soon as I told them honestly about my experience, they were all eager to meet with Jess as soon as they could.
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world, Jess. You have changed the way I see so many things and have reinstated my belief in the power of energy. ”

Explore what’s possible
“I think what’s beautiful about these moments is that everything Jess told me in our session I knew in my gut but I needed to be reminded. I needed permission to believe it.”
“The reality is… what did happen was so freaking intense. It was insane.
What I loved about it? Jess said to put some names out in your head, silently, don’t tell her, just think of them, and I put out a lot of names and was surprised at who actually showed up. I did not expect what was going to be said.
My Grandfather is one of the people who came through. Myron passed away when I was fourteen years old. If I put on glasses, I look exactly like him when he was my age. It was hard to lose him but I was young so I kind of disconnected after that. I didn’t really talk to him much. Until our session. So he came through and what freaked me out the most was, Jess goes, “I don’t know how to say this but he’s sort of flirting with me”. And I go, “yeah. Okay. That’s him! That’s definitely him”. The things she was saying were things he would say. The energy was right. It was the words. Once he was there with us, I remember we would go to other places in the conversation and he would chime in! Jess would laugh and I would think to myself...I’m sure he just said this - and then Jess would say it and I’d be like, yeah of course he said that! It was freaky. How would she know that? It was beautiful.” (Continued…)
“The clarity!”
“My sister came through which was really special. She passed a few years ago. It was really sudden, unexpected and devastating. I felt a very strong connection with her but I sort of felt more connected with her after she passed. So to have Jess tap into that was wild.
The clarity! Jess described the red car that I had in highschool that my sister loved. Jess saw us going fast in the car speeding around this town of ours and delivered the message from my sister how much she loved me in that car speeding around, and how I am the one who got out. My sister and I had many mutual friends die in car crashes speeding too fast. It was beautiful and clarifying.
Both spirits said through Jess, “use us when you need us. We are here for you. We are here to help”. I think what’s beautiful about these moments is that everything Jess told me in our session I knew in my gut but I needed to be reminded. I needed permission to believe it. I needed her to tell me, the spirits to tell me, the cards... that I’m on the right path and to stick with it. But that was only part of it. The spirit messages.” (Continued…)
“What I did not expect was to have a session that lastingly changed the course of how I was feeling in my life and how I behaved.”
“I had very little experience with Tarot and the candle magic - we set intentions. Jess asked me what I was struggling with. I didn’t like being in the middle. A tumultuous past, a hopefully hopeful future, but stuck in this place of stillness and processing. I was really pissed off, freaked out about where I was gonna live next. Career stuff. I was in turmoil.
Stuff with my son - I’ve held onto guilt, shame and fear. There were all these unknowns.
Throughout the session, Jess helped me line them up, clear away any of the darkness, and let go of the stuff that I knew in my gut I could let go of but was afraid to because I thought I had to keep beating myself up. I could accept the new stuff, be ready for whatever struggles were to come with a sense of safety, like I AM protected by the universe, source, other spirits and these things.
From other older experiences I had with mediums, I knew I would have some kind of transcendental moment for a couple of hours or days, but then it would fade and I would go right back to being where I was.
What I did not expect was to have a session that lastingly changed the course of how I was feeling in my life and how I behaved. From that moment on, everything has been different, especially around being in the in-between. And it’s been so much more comforting to me to be here. Safe. Useful. Joyous. It completely shifted the energy. I’ve felt different physically. Lighter. More at peace.”
-Mike Wartella, The Hollow Client
“I have more momentum, more ease, and more joy in the areas of my life that I was asking about in the sessions.”
Before working with Jess, I struggled to feel connected to my ancestors and close family members who had passed on; who I truly wanted to feel were with me, supporting me. I had negative stories in my head about how they might be disappointed in me, or were out of reach. I also wanted to have more guidance, tools, and actions to take for fulfilling desires - career abundance, wanting to move into a bigger place, relief from health concerns. I’m a big believer in using any and all loving sources of input to help me thrive.
The only fear I had about doing the work with Jess was that I could hear something in a session that would open up a flood in me, and I wouldn’t be able to find my way back to center. I definitely cried, and they were tears of happiness, of reassurance that I could let go of the negative stories, to know that I’m deeply loved and cheered on by those so dear to me who aren’t around any more. Jess helped me with how I can access them, and I feel truly lighter knowing that I can reach out whenever I need or want.
The most surprising thing about my Hollow sessions has been the laughter. For me, it wasn’t an overly heavy experience that I needed days to recover from, or that took me out mentally or emotionally. Apparently, my people have jokes, and they are hilarious.
I have more momentum, more ease, and more joy in the areas of my life that I was asking about in the sessions. I have and will continue to highly recommend Jess to anyone interested or curious. She’s phenomenal.

“Working with a practitioner like Jess isn’t about forming a dependence on her for “the answers,” but instead has empowered me to look at all of the ways I connect to my own well-spring of magick.”
“Jess and the Hollow have held me through it all. We’ve cut cords to old ideas, called in abundant futures, channeled ancestors + past-life lovers, removed toxic energy from my physical body during a cycle of intense illness, and I’ve even visited the Hollow with my romantic partner to see what was up next for us in our relationship.
But, more impressive than any of the externals of what’s come from investing with Jess is how much the work in the Hollow is focused on giving each visitor their own set of tools to take with them long after a session completes. Working with a practitioner like Jess isn’t about forming a dependence on her for “the answers” but instead has empowered me to look at all of the ways I connect to my own well-spring of magic.
Trusting the leap into this kind of work can be really scary — I definitely identify as a skeptic and, yet, Jess brings a huge sense of safety to everything she does. Her gentleness and compassion are unparalleled and yet, somehow she always serves it straight. A deeply skilled, deeply intuitive channel, Jess is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to move more consciously through this life.
I know I will be a visitor to the Hollow as long as I’m on this plane — and perhaps even thereafter!”

Courageous and Supportive Immersion into the Unknown
“I was feeling pretty stuck when I first came to The Hollow. I knew what I wanted from my career, but didn't know how to get it.”
“Not much shifted externally (at least not immediately) during my time with Jess, but the work set me on a path toward making the changes I needed to make in my life with clarity and faith. I went from a place of confusion to a place of clear vision, and suddenly found myself trusting my instincts and the unfolding of my life on a whole new level. Today, I am much closer to my vision as a result of this inner-trust and the actions it has helped me to take.
Jess is warm, so loving, and extremely intuitive. I feel incredibly safe with her, and therefore able to open. The reiki work was particularly healing-- I always left feeling that layer upon layer of stress and dissatisfaction had been removed. I could soften and breathe.
The tools I learned with Jess continue to support me. I feel more in touch with the natural world and more willing and able to reach out to forces beyond me for help and guidance. As a result, I feel more a part of my world, less alone, more filled with love. I'm very grateful for this change in perspective, and I'm so glad to have found it with the truly magical being that is Jess Perlman.”

“It’s not just mediumship, or tarot, or Reiki.
It’s a magickal portal to a deep and sacred connection with self and spirit.”
“Of all the practitioners I’ve been to over the years, no one is quite like Jess and the services she provides at the Hollow.
What makes the Hollow so special is that you can’t put it into a box— it’s not just mediumship, or tarot, or Reiki…
It’s a magickal portal to a deep and sacred connection with self and spirit.
Jess creates such a beautiful, safe space and she is so thoughtful in her communication, always asking for consent along the way. Each time I’ve gone to The Hollow, I always leave with something new and deep with lots of excitement to return again soon.”
-Cat Coyne, The Hollow Client
