WORK HISTORY
Graduate school was followed by a few intense years working three jobs. I was a therapist for both English and Spanish speaking clients in a Medicaid clinic, a college counselor in a high school in Harlem, and was building my private practice on the side (starting in 2007). Once all of my licenses were in place, I took on my practice full time.

Finance
I have been working with Jasmin for over five years and to say that she has changed my life is an understatement. She came into my life with such humility and ease that it was impossible to deny that the universe had brought us together. She has made me realize that I have the power to change my life. I recommend her guidance to anyone who is seeking some new way to see themselves and life.

I started seeing Jasmin during a particularly challenging period in my life. After countless therapists, Jasmin was the first to challenge me, and teach me how to support myself. She does not look at you as a “case,” but as an individual. I have never felt like it was worth my time to go to therapy, until I started seeing Jasmin. I have infinite appreciation and respect for her as a therapist, and would recommend her to everyone.

Founder and CEO of Brainstorm Tutoring & Arts and DADDY!
Jasmin’s effortless charm and profound insights infuse every page of this incredible little gem of a book. She somehow manages to both comfort and challenge the reader in every single chapter. I especially love her focus on self-care and the tools she provides to combat the drama and overload of modern parenting. I’m glad I didn’t let the “Mommy” focus dissuade me. Be prepared to be inspired!

Founder and CEO of Beaumont Etiquette and Mommy
As an entrepreneur, passionate about both my career and parenthood, I wanted to learn ways to be an amazing mom while balancing my business. Extraordinary Mommy helped me feel confident in my ability to parent the way that I believe is best for my family. It gave me useful tools for how to approach our life as new parents. For example, now I allocate “work” or “family” time and put my phone on silent when I’m with my daughter, so that the time I spend with her is of the utmost quality. I also prioritize my own well-being without guilt. I read so many useful passages to my husband that whenever a new issue arises he says, “What does the book say about that!?”

Medical Practitioner
Jasmin is a breath of fresh air. She is truly excellent at what she does and I highly recommend her services. Her fees are fair and are well worth it. From our very first session I knew I had to continue. She understood exactly what I needed to help me with my journey towards self healing. She helped me tremendously with getting back on track with my life. I am so grateful for her and she is such a blessing to the community she serves.

I’ve been in and out of “therapy” for over 30 years. I am also on a “cocktail” of drugs for bi-polar disorder and a recovering Alcoholic and Compulsive Overeater. It took me a long time to find someone who could balance the various sides of my issues and perspectives on life with intelligence, compassion, insight and creativity. Working with Jasmin has made a huge difference in my life.

Dentist and Mommy
Extraordinary Mommy warmed my heart. I didn’t expect to feel flooded with emotions before reaching the first chapter. I love the way Jasmin connects her “mommy” lessons with personal experiences and her own mother’s advice.Her words are relatable and inspiring, not just for mommies, but for all caretakers of young children!
What they say about Extraordinary You
Beautiful writing and powerful tools
I bought this book to help me incorporate daily mindful habits, including meditation and journaling. Jasmin eloquently weaves together theory and practice, providing concrete exercises and examples, as well as a clear rationale behind them. I especially appreciated how at the end of each chapter, there is a summary and writing prompts. Through this approach, Jasmin engaged me as a reader and helped apply the strategies she described to my own life. Because of this book, I’ve created what I believe to be sustainable habits, including a daily meditation. I keep purchasing new copies, because I lend the book to friends – and they don’t want to give it back to me! I’m happy to share the love and knowledge that Jasmin provides in this unique book.

Educator
I have been seeing Jasmin for a couple of months now and am so glad that I found her. Jasmin has a unique approach that promotes an extremely positive experience, and I am learning so much through our amazing conversations. She creates a loving, caring, and non-judgmental environment where I feel safe to explore things that I have been afraid of for years. I am learning to accept and love myself for the first time in my life. Jasmin is an inspiration.

Highly recommend!
I became aware of this author from her speaking engagements and podcasts interviews, and figured it was time to get her book. Since I am a huge fan of Eckhart Tolle, and I knew that she was too, I was curious how this Columbia University trained psychotherapist was going to integrate her spiritual background & studies of consciousness with her psychological training. I was extremely impressed with how she mapped out a clear road map of the inner experience. I realized things about myself that I never realized before, and got new strategies that I had never considered.

What I love most about this guide is that it validates the thoughts and fears of a mom. Through the loving examples, I felt empowered through the daily challenges and emotional struggles of being a care-giver. I found the strategies to be practical to digest and implement. Being a mom is the most important job indeed; I’m thrilled to have this bible at my fingertips.

A MUST READ!
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I have implemented so many of the practices that Jasmin teaches you and am seeing so many positive, life changing moments for myself. This is an easy read, and I highly recommend it for all ages, and for someone looking to better themselves. I plan to give this book to every friend who I truly love, because the tools provided, when implemented, will make a positive, life changing impact.

Having never seen a therapist, I truly did not know what to expect. I did not expect to find the warm, generous, compassionate, fun and engaging Jasmin. She helped me navigate the inner depths of my soul. She’s a constant source of inspiration and you do not feel like a “case” or something to be fixed. I gave Jasmin much resistance when I first started and she stuck it out with me with patience, care and a constant smile. I so look forward to my sessions. I do spinning as a workout for my body; Jasmin is a workout for mind and soul.

Jasmin, you were the best therapist I’ve ever had the honor of working with. I’m so grateful for your help in getting me out of the “stories” that I was telling myself. You’re a great listener and one who also offers fantastic advice. Although I always knew you were my therapist, and you always acted like one, I looked forwards to the weekly sessions and thought of our time together as talking to a wise friend rather than “just” a therapist 🙂

Author of When it’s Never About You: The People Pleasers Guide to Health, Happiness and Personal Freedom and Mommy
Extraordinary Mommy is filled with wise, helpful, and perhaps most importantly, totally doable practices for mothers. Jasmin offers easy-to-use tools and strategies for real-life moms needing peace, calm, and centering—along with a dash of compassion comes from her own experiences as both a mom and a therapist. This is an excellent and much needed book. I’m so grateful Jasmin wrote this easy to read guide!

Radiologist Physician and Mommy
This book has helped me shift my perspective when I am feeling impatient or frustrated with my kids. The two simple phrases, “At least” and “I get to” are my quick reminders to be grateful. For example, “At least we are all healthy…or I get to deal with my daughters’ backtalk because I am blessed with healthy daughters who have preferences.” I recommend this book to moms of all ages. Its format is easy to read, with succinct summary points at the end of each chapter for a quick review. If you are looking to create fulfilling, mutually respectful, and loving relationships with your children, this book is a MUST read.

I have shared more with Jasmin and gained more from her then anyone in my life. She is a gift. Wise beyond her years, determined to know and love herself and others… it is her compassion and desire to be good to people that shines forth in her radiant smile. Her glow is contagious, and what a joy it is to rest in her presence.

Dietetic Student and Mommy
Beautifully written with raw emotional content and practical lessons aimed to encourage any parent who wants to be the best version of themselves. As Jasmin puts it, “it’s okay not to know what to do.” Letting go of that control, knowing that every day is going to be different, and that is okay, is such an important theme for all mothers and one that has empowered me as I learn alongside my three children. Refreshingly honest and inspiring, Extraordinary Mommy is a must-read.

I can't believe I'm the first to review this because I know so many people who love this book!
As a psychologist, I am constantly reminded that our feelings effect most every aspect of our lives, yet so few people were ever taught how to handle them in a healthy way. I’m so impressed with how the author creates such a clear road-map for how to deal with uncomfortable feelings. If you have stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, self-doubt or any challenging feelings, this is the perfect guide to “be your own therapist” and learn how to handle life from the inside out. Truly a must-read for all! I am going to start giving it to all my clients!
