Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Jess Germano-Fokin.
Hi Dr. Germano-Fokin, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My journey with SHE Boss began through my therapeutic work with my patients. I began to discover there was a gap in the way that women and girls were given information and education about their mind and body, especially as it related to mental health, personal health, sexual health, and intimate wellness. Through my therapeutic work, I developed an Integrative Model focusing on four key quadrants of the Self: Mental Health + Wellbeing, Personal Health + Wellbeing, Sexual Health + Wellbeing, and Intimate Wellness + Relationships. In working with my patients, I began to realize how limited I was with only having the opportunity to work with those individuals that were in my state of licensure (New York, at the time… soon to also be South Carolina, as we are relocating there). I started to think about how I could reach and help more individuals around the world live their best life by being able to truly discover their authentic self. My passion is providing individuals with a safe and comfortable “space” to be able to talk openly and freely without fear of judgment or embarrassment, as well as be able to develop the knowledge and awareness about their own mind + body… it’s such a powerful tool. This inspired me to create my coaching platform called “SHE Boss”. The acronym “SHE” means “Strong.Happy.Empowered”. Teaching my clients to have their voice, be aware of their mind + body, know their value + worth (plus tax 🙂 ) and be their best self.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My view on anything is life is there will always be at least 3 bumps in the road as you embark on your journey. However, those “bumps” are not failures by any means. They are things that are put in our path as a means for us to do what I like to emphasize with my clients: Live.Learn.Grow. With that said, I have met my share of challenges and continue to do so, but that does not stop me from practicing what I preach “Continue to Boss Up, Rise Above + Represent”. I absolutely LOVE what I do and see each opportunity – the good, the great, the bad, the ugly – as my fuel and motivation to keep going in order to help as many individuals that I can be their best self, even if it’s just one! 🙂
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about SHE Boss?
I am a mental health practitioner that specializes in sexual health and intimate wellness. I am also a Certified Sexologist + Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
My coaching approach is individualized + personalized to meet you where you are at and help you on your journey to get to where you want to be. There is no one way. There is no right way. It’s discovering YOUR way. Using an integrative model that focuses on four key areas: Mental Health + Wellbeing, Personal Health + Wellbeing, Sexual Health + Wellbeing, and Intimate Wellness + Relationships. In addition, I focus on all overlapping aspects of the WHOLE Self: emotional, physiological, behavioral, relational, and sexual.
My motto is “You have to do you before you can truly do anyone else.” So, let’s start doing YOU, for YOU today!!!
My coaching + courses are designed to help you to discover + enhance your WHOLE self in all of the four key areas mentioned above using my integrative model. I’m in the process of writing + launching many courses including topics about dating, relationships, intimate wellness, confidence, self-esteem + sexesteem, body image + body confidence, having your voice, healthy boundaries, personal + intimate desire, holistic pleasure, getting your head in the game + your body between the sheets, and (re)creating the spark within you as well as in your relationship + intimacy.
It will be real, raw, and authentic because you are well-deserving of knowing your WHOLE self, mind + body, and experiencing a healthy, fulfilling, and pleasurable sense of self.
Let’s lift each other up + level each other out by continuing to Boss Up, Rise Above + Represent together.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
While SHE Boss bears the name “SHE”, the goal is to be inclusive with anyone who identifies as or with + supports SHE: Strong.Happy.Empowered.
I am very straightforward and no bullshit with my clients when saying to them as they first walk into my office, “This sh*t is not easy!” It takes hard work, strength, determination, and willpower. I commend them for making that big first step in knowing they are well-deserving of feeling better!
I emphasize that “it” will not just go away; “it” will be a part of you, BUT it does not need to define you!!! We will work on understanding “it” (whatever it might be), identify tools to manage and maintain “it”, and work towards living the happy, healthy, fulfilling lifestyle that you are well-deserving of living.
