JESSI SIMPSON

WOMB | Heart | VOice

Hello, I’m Jessi–the heart, hands & voice behind Bloompress. Bloompress all began in 2018 with a vision to capture women in their entirety & with a deep longing to help them find the voice to tell their stories. I never could have imagined that it could me lead here with you on this about page. I embody the Essential Creative Ecosystem that Women need in order to return to their own intuition, magic & power. To return to their own creations.

As it is these creations that exist in the womb & the connections that exist within the heart that deserve a voice. I am here to remind myself & others that we are not overshadowing another when we share what is truly our own. That these stories that you hold, when not shared & locked away in a vault within–they become heavy silences & secrets that move through the family constellation. Your honesty, your bravery, your voice sharing what is here–is unshackling not just for you but for whoever you share with.

There’s so much emphasis on who we are in the world, what identities we take on, the roles we play. But what I have come to understand is that it’s what and who we are coming home to where our lives actually are. My work is an extension of this feeling & sense of homecoming. The big breath out at the end of the day, where the roles and identities can come off and the relief sets in. It is not work to ‘add more’ but to simplify, to ground and to return. 

I take many forms–a singer, writer, healer, creator & photographer–Witch of the Water. Mother, Lover, Daughter, Sister, Aunty, Friend. I love my family & care deeply about my relationships which is where I love taking on fun evolutionary astrologer, yoga teacher & bodyworker roles.

I am a woman, deeply rooted in the strong yin feminine energy of the Water, supporting others in a heartfelt way to access their own strength, belief in themselves–to find & hold the ground of their own lives. I work with the natural cycles of life, most notably through founding The Inner Temple, which holds Women’s Mystery Teachings which support a return to intuition, power and trust.

Through this space’s Central offering I support women in the power & mysteries held in their monthly bleed time.

Background for the curious critters

For as long as I can remember, I have been deeply lit up & immersed in the healing arts. When I was a young child I would set up a healing space & massage table at home to practice healing on my family. Before I became a photographer in the creative field, I began tertiary studies to become a physiotherapist as I knew that I was meant to work with my hands in some way to help others. I struggled with the clinical setting & so I moved on to pursue music performance studies. Little did I know how connected these modalities are – rhythm, song, the body, & living in connection. Now, I work with my hands, heart & voice each & every day, taking on different expressions depending on what & who I am working with.

I grew up performing on the stage upon Mandjoogoordap country in the South West of Australia, performing plays, dancing & singing. Now that I am older, I understand & have felt the land itself as a meeting place, where all rivers meet, & where the people of neighbouring tribes would come seasonally to share stories, connect & exchange resources. The more time I spend on & in the water there, the more I am humbled by dreaming & creation magic & how it is woven into the land, the seas, the rivers & the mountains.

My journey of facilitating healing & transformation began over 8 years through yoga teaching, & has expanded over the years through the fields of Sacred Circle, Shamanic Bodywork & Evolutionary Astrology. I work with the wisdom of the present moment in all that I offer, holding a genuinely safe space for personal & professional exploration without shame & judgment, through a calming & feminine approach. The core intention of my work across modalities is to support a stable foundation for authenticity & expression of Self.

I hold strong lineages in the ancient practices of Traditional Hatha & Tantra Yoga, Evolutionary Astrology & Ceremony, safely & humbly drawing upon the wisdoms passed down to me through embodied & direct transmission. These lineages hold the sacred foundation for all that I work alongside, carrying my strong roots in theatre, film & performance, as well as my Western studies of Media & Communication with strength.

Most truthfully however I am most influenced and led by my own personal connection to place & country, forming the root systems & foundations for all that I do in my dreaming & creation work with myself & with others. My forming of these subtle connections has been a consistent part of my daily life, no matter what else is going on in life.

I now am based on Gumbaynggirr country in the Coffs Coast of NSW, living as simply as we can with my partner, 2 border collies & baby girl.

May our journey together be nothing short of magic, enlivening and transformational.
