I'm a product of the product. I've been under Dr Jay's mentorship for many years and it has helped me to improve leaps and bounds. When I tell you my life has completely transformed, I mean it. When I met Dr Jay my life was a total mess.
I experienced huge FINANCIAL BURDEN like I literally had no bank account.
I DIVORCED my husband and had to parent children with little or no spousal support.
I juggled the difficulties surrounding an AGING PARENT.
In short You have your own challenging experiences where life be lifin' and you still have to show up for your loved ones, your colleagues, and your client. Allow me to share how I was able to manage this and begin to thrive with the help of Dr. Jay.

As a mental health Consultant and creative systemic therapist and founder of RE Engineering Well Being Consultancy, I am now living out the vision that I laid out for myself many years ago. I have gained mental clarity and learned strategies to help me navigate some of the deepest pains that we experiencing around grief and trauma. I had my own taste of grief when I was only in my 20s and I had a life transition of losing my husband raising our 4-week old baby. I was incomplete disarray but determined that if I did not lose my mind then I would master it. This personal grief of losing a loved one and the unspoken grief and loss surrounding it, is a battle no one should do alone. If you, have been stuck in your personal grief and trauma and are looking to be supported, this retreat is for you.

In my life, I have determined to turn from external chaos into internal peace and clarity. As a mental health therapist, global leadership strategist and motivational speaker, I have help thousands do the same and turn their chaos to clarity. I use my holistic approach to work life blends emotional intelligence, inclusive communication, and practical tools to help you thrive without burning out. In my talk When Business Beats Burnout, I will share how master the business of you without burnout.

I have been dancing since I learned to walk. Born in Hollywood, CA (a worldwide dance hub) and raised in Durham, NC (home of the American Dance Festival), movement is a part of my life. In 1991, I was recruited by former UNC-Chapel Hill Cheer Coach to join the FIRST All-Star Competitive Cheer Squad in North Carolina. In 1996, I again made history as the youngest captain for the Inaugural NFL Carolina Panthers Cheerleader Squad. I obtained my Bachelor's in Dance and two Master's Degrees (Exercise Science with a Sport Psychology Concentration and Mind-Body Medicine), and a Doctor of Psychology. As a Mind, Body, Spirit Integration Course Facilitator and Adjunct Professor at Saybrook University, I have been honored to mentor and support new Ph.D. and M.S. students entering the Mind-Body Medicine and Integrative Social Work Programs.
I believe that the Lord has given all of us limitless potential through our unique mind-body connection.


"connection ... I
didn't know I needed"
"This past August, I had the privilege of attending the “Redefining Self-Care as Luxury”: Finding Balance retreat in the breathtaking island of Dominica, and it was
nothing short of transformative.
From the moment I arrived at the stunning Jungle Bay Resort, nestled amidst Dominica’s emerald peaks and the sound of the Caribbean Sea, I knew I was in a
special place. The natural beauty of the “Nature Isle from its lush flora and fauna provided the perfect, serene backdrop for our inward journey.
The heart and soul of this experience were our exceptional facilitators, Dr. Janelle Chase-Mayers and Olivia Sobers. They created an environment of non-judgment and kindness where I felt safe to be vulnerable and reconnect with the quiet voice within that I had been ignoring for years. Dr. Jay brought a wealth of information that was both intellectually rigorous and deeply compassionate. She masterfully guided us through critical topics, reframing self-care not as a chore, but as a non-negotiable luxury. The sessions on the
importance of physiological care, the powerful process of releasing trauma and
untold stories, and writing a heartfelt goodbye letter to burnout were particularly life changing. Olivia complemented this perfectly with her nurturing energy and practical wisdom, ensuring every woman felt seen and heard. Our days were a beautiful blend of introspection and adventure. We started with daily morning walks and meditation, moved our bodies with workouts, yoga and hikes, and connected with nature through sunset kayaking and swims beneath majestic waterfalls. Every delicious, thoughtfully prepared meal: breakfast, lunch, and dinner were an opportunity for connection and that connection was the magic I
didn't know I needed. What began as a group of strangers quickly blossomed into a
sisterhood. We bonded over shared experiences, supported each other through vulnerable moments, and celebrated our individual breakthroughs. This retreat was more than a vacation; it was a recalibration of my soul. I left Dominica not just relaxed, but with a new sense of clarity, peace and commitment to carry this self-care forward with a beautiful community of women. My heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Janelle Chase Mayers, Olivia Sobers, and the entire sisterhood for an enlightening, meaningful, and incredibly successful experience."

" A peaceful mind-opening experiencer"
"You can have all the planners and reminders in the world, but if you don’t make the commitment for follow-through, accountability, and reflection, the patterns of not reaching your goals will continue. Dr. Jay’s Active Planning and Execution Mastermind course gave me life skills for planning and implementing goals. My favorite part of the course was learning how to audit. Because when you don’t go back and assess how the plan went, how can you make changes? Brilliant!"

" A peaceful mind-opening experiencer"
"I met Jaycee through a mutual friend, and I instantly knew that we had an energetic connection. Her energy and her aura are absolutely extraordinary and the events that she puts together are life changing. I attended one of her workshops and it was such a peaceful mind-opening experience. I met some absolutely incredible people, worked with very powerful individuals on mindset health wellness, and more. There were so many learnings and so many magic moments during this trip. I traveled all the way from Atlanta Georgia to be here, and I am so very glad that I did. I built some absolutely remarkable relationships with people that I met, and I will definitely be coming back for more soon.
Jaycee is a beautiful human inside and out and she goes above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for everybody. All of the details that she paid so close attention to mattered to me so much, all the way down to dietary restrictions. She is an absolutely incredible human being, and I am blessed to call her my friend and I am very grateful that we cross paths.
Jaycee is so familiar with the fundamentals and the components of having a strong mindset. She has a heart of gold, and she truly cares about people and their well-being."

"the push I needed in my day-to-day life "
"Three years ago, I embarked on a retreat called: Focus, Realign, Grow, with Janelle Chase-Mayers, and it was very instrumental in changing the direction of my life. From the beautiful setting to the daily presentations and activities, I felt as though I was in the right place, at the right time, with the right people. Hardly have I ever been in a room where I felt so comfortable to speak openly and express myself freely without feeling as though I was being judged or even that my experiences were unique.
The presenters shared their own life experiences which were gateways to me feeling at home. I was able to release my inhibitions and participate fully while being engaged and supportive to the other participants. As for the participants, we found ourselves referring to each other as family. I not only formed friendships over that short weekend, I found solace in others who, up to today, I can reach out to and not feel as though it’s an inconvenience.
What stood out for me the most though, was that the retreat gave me the push I needed in my day-to-day life following. I started two business initiatives that I was putting off, furthered my studies of which I have since completed successfully, had deep talk out sessions with my family and close friends, felt more apt to work on my fitness and nutrition, and even restarted my journey to financial peace. After that one weekend at sunset point, St. Lucy, I was given renewed energy to refocus, realign and grow into the person I am becoming today."
