Perspective for rooms in transition.

I speak on Brand Somatics™, the Resonance Economy, embodied leadership, and on building businesses that that feel as true on the inside as they look on the outside.

KEY EXPERIENCE:

The Merkaba of Brand Somatics™

Why do some brands feel magnetic while others, with a solid plan and plenty of effort behind them, never quite land? This keynote introduces the Merkaba of Brand, a framework drawn from sacred geometry that shows how a brand actually transmits. Strategy and mechanics move upward, embodiment and intuition move downward, and when the two spin together, people can feel it.

It's part talk, part experience. We start with breath to settle the room, then move through a short energetic alignment practice, so the framework lands in the body as well as the mind.

Audiences leave with:

A new way to diagnose why a brand, team, or offer feels off, even when the plan looks right
A simple practice to return to before any big decision or launch
A clear picture of what the Resonance Economy asks of leaders right now

This experience is available as a 30-minute keynote, an extended interactive workshop, or a fireside conversation.

My Talks are Designed for:

Founder communities
Leadership retreats
Creative conferences
Executive teams

What Energetic Alignment Actually Means

Energetic alignment is when what you're building matches what actually gives you energy. When those line up, the work moves with you. When they don't, you end up spending a lot of effort fighting yourself, usually without noticing, and it leaks into everything from how you price to whether you show up at all. Finding where that mismatch starts is where the body comes in.

Your body has a system of energy centers, the chakras, and each one is tied to a different part of you. Some of that is physical, and some of it lives in your personality and the way you think. When one gets blocked you usually feel it somewhere first, maybe a tight throat or a heaviness you can't shake, and then it starts showing up in how you lead. Because your business mirrors you, the same blocks appear there too, in the price you can't bring yourself to raise or the visibility you keep putting off.

In our work together, we focus on the lower five of them, root through throat, since that's where I most often see blocks shaping a business. We find where your energy is stuck and work through it on a somatic level and a strategic one.

Hi, I’m Jessica Maniatis.

I help founders and leaders reconnect with their purpose, intuition, and creative flow, and build from there. My work tends to begin in the in-between, at the turning points where everything is shifting.

I spent over 20 years in creative leadership, running my own studio for a decade, leading innovation work for Fortune 500 companies, and serving as a VP of Creative. Across all of it I kept seeing the same thing: the founders scaling with ease were in real energetic and creative flow. Brand Somatics™ grew out of that.

Speaking has been part of my work for years. While running my studio, I spoke often for AIGA, MOO, and the WELL Summit, sometimes headlining and often on panels, moderating more than a few of them.

In 2016 I co-founded SPACE Boston, a sister business to my design studio with monthly workshops, talks, and panels. I led and/or hosted most of them, often interviewing guests on stage or giving talks.

I'm formally trained in Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki and yoga, and I bring that understanding of somatics, nervous system regulation, and energy into every room I speak in. It's how Brand Somatics™ moves from concept into something people can feel.

I live in Los Angeles with my family. Becoming a mother reshaped my life, along with my relationship to work, time, and what balance actually means.
