About Guest Jessica Maxwell

Nationally acclaimed travel writer Jessica Maxwell is the author of books on women’s adventure, fishing, golf and natural healing, and her work has been included in over two-dozen anthologies, notably Bill Bryson’s Best American Travel Writing 2000. She has fly-fished for Amazonian piranha for Forbes, hunted Norwegian grouse for Gourmet, chased wild mustangs for Travel & Leisure. Her earth-bound career took a sudden turn toward the mystical with the publication of her spiritual memoir, Roll Around Heaven (Beyond Words/ Simon & Schuster 2009), winner of two gold book awards.

A “results and evidence girl,” Jessica has given many RAH! Talks and Workshops on the confluence of science and spirituality, and, thanks to reader demand, now has a full and lively practice as a spiritual coach and hands-on healer. She has been a featured speaker at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival and is a regular presenter at Ghost Ranch Retreat Center in New Mexico. Deeply touched by her readers’ outpouring of spiritual loneliness, her presentations offer personal validation, scientific proof, and profound healing and hope to skeptics, cynics, the spiritual-but- not-religious, and Church-goers alike.

Her next book is about her healing work and her long-term love affair with the kingdom of Bhutan, her spiritual home for two decades. When she’s not in the Himalayas, Jessica lives in Western Oregon with her trial attorney husband, Tom Andersen, and two part-bobcat kitties who are an integral part of her healing team.
