Hello, I'm
Jessie Quinn

Writer, Artist, and Reiki Master
Jessie Quinn is a journalist, artist, and certified Reiki Master Teacher who explores the power of creativity and how artistic expression and well-being intersect.

She began her writing career as a beauty editor, which quickly led her to cover health and wellness after discovering how much of beauty comes from within. Today, she writes across the beauty, wellness, fashion, entertainment, DIY, and lifestyle categories, and her words are published in NYLON Magazine, Forbes, Brit + Co, StyleCaster, Byrdie, Bustle, The Sunday Edit, and more.

When she is not writing and holding space for her Reiki clients, Jessie rejuvenates her mind and cleanses her energy through art. Some of her creative rituals include pottery, crochet, weaving, papier-mâché, and jewelry-making. In addition to her own creativity, Jessie gives back to the writing community as a volunteer mentor at WriteGirl, a Los Angeles-based organization that empowers teen girls through creative writing.

Currently, she is working on completing her meditation teacher certification through Chopra. You can learn more about Jessie’s work and endeavors at www.jessiequinn.com.
