About Jessy Raspiller
Venture Well was born from my own winding path—one that’s never followed a straight line, but has always followed a deeper pull.
​
Since I was young, I’ve been guided by the quiet wisdom of nature. I grew up in the Sonoran Desert, running through the dirt with pockets full of desert quartz, listening to the land like it was speaking directly to me. And in many ways—it was.
But somewhere along the way, like so many of us, I drifted. College pulled me into the noise of trying to “become” something, shaping myself to fit into the world instead of remembering how to move with it.
​
​Then yoga found me in 2004. Not just the poses, but the breath. The philosophy. The remembrance that the body already knows what it needs. Those initial moments with yoga cracked something open—and from than on, I started finding my way back.
In 2014, I founded Ventura Pop Up Yoga (Yoga in the Wild) as a way to share this remembering in open spaces—local parks, island cliffsides, anywhere people could breathe under the sky. Even then, I could feel it: there was something deeper waiting beneath the surface. A knowing that true healing doesn’t come from fixing and distracting—it comes from returning.
So I followed that thread. I began holding space in living rooms and quiet nooks, weaving together trauma-informed movement, energy work, intuitive listening. I started to understand the body not as something to be fixed, but that it is a storyteller—one that holds memories, wisdom, and the power to heal when given the space.
​
I began to help individuals return-
to themselves, their passions, and a deeper vibrancy in life.
Meanwhile, the land was still calling me to my own Return.
In 2018, I took a solo road trip through Montana and Idaho, letting the wild places teach me again. That journey many years later would eventually lead me to Green Path Herb School in Missoula, where my relationship with plant medicine deepened in ways I didn’t even know I was longing for.
By 2023, it all converged. I opened Ventura’s first Somatic Spa and Herbal Apothecary—a space devoted to honoring the body, the energy of earth, and the rituals that return us back to ourselves.
Where I Am Now
The work I offer today is the culmination of my own lived experience — years of listening, learning, and allowing my path to unfold organically rather than forcing it into form.
Through thousands of hours of study, practice, and apprenticeship across disciplines and continents, alongside wisdom that continues to emerge in real time, I’ve learned how to meet people exactly where they are. Not with a prescribed method, but with presence, discernment, and an ability to listen deeply to what is asking to be addressed in the moment.
This creates a healing experience that is both grounded and responsive — one that honors your unique history, nervous system, and inner rhythm. Together, we uncover your own pathway toward regulation, clarity, and empowerment, not by following someone else’s map, but by learning how to trust the intelligence already within you.
Now is the time that we can all begin to draw from the Well of Life
