At Adose Wellness, we celebrate the vibrant, transformative journeys that bring individuals to our community. This month, we’re thrilled to feature Jilene Jackson—a DMV native, creative visionary, and wellness advocate who inspires us with her resilience, passion, and unwavering commitment to healing. Here’s a deeper look into Jilene’s story, her journey to Adose, and the philosophy that fuels her path.
From Clinical Psychology to Creative Wellness Advocate
Jilene's path to wellness was anything but linear. Starting her career in Clinical Psychology, she dedicated herself to providing critical mental health services for both adults and children. However, the demands of the profession led to burnout, compelling her to reevaluate her priorities. This turning point coincided with personal challenges—caring for her sibling with autism and supporting her mother’s recovery from a brain tumor. Through these experiences, Jilene discovered the necessity of addressing her own mental health and began her journey into the wellness space.
From traditional talk therapy to innovative modalities like EMDR, acupuncture, and plant medicine, Jilene’s healing journey has been multi-faceted. Her spiritual reawakening reaffirmed her calling to serve as a beacon of light, guiding others toward their own healing and transformation. Today, she channels her empathy and spiritual gifts into practices that prioritize holistic wellness.
The Connection to Adose Wellness
Jilene’s introduction to Adose was serendipitous. A pivotal moment occurred at the Labor Day 2023 Feel Day event, where she immersed herself in a community centered on wellness and connection. Encouraged by this experience, she attended classes at Adose, where she discovered a nurturing space that embraced her authentic self. The variety of events, inclusivity, and affordability resonated deeply with her, particularly as someone who’d experienced the exclusivity and lack of diversity in traditional wellness spaces.
“When God takes something away, He blesses us with something even better,” Jilene reflects. At Adose, she found a community that supported her healing journey, allowed her to thrive, and empowered her to give back.
Jilene’s Wellness Philosophy
For Jilene, wellness is a lifestyle—a conscious commitment to balance and optimal health in all areas of life. Her daily practices reflect this philosophy:
-
Mind-Body Practices: Yoga, sound therapy, and cacao ceremonies.
-
Energy Healing: Red light therapy, grounding techniques, and vibrational medicines like CBD and psilocybin.
-
Spiritual Connection: Prayer, meditation, and gratitude journaling.
Jilene’s approach integrates modern biohacking with ancient wisdom, creating a holistic framework for personal and collective healing.
Excitement for the Future
As a forward-thinking biohacker, Jilene is particularly excited about emerging trends in wellness. From men’s wellness circles to advancements in AI-driven health recommendations, she envisions a future where wellness becomes increasingly accessible and personalized. She’s especially passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces for Black and Brown communities to explore alternative therapies like sound healing and plant medicine.
Giving Back: Hosting and Inspiring
Jilene actively introduces sound healing and yoga to Black youth through her volunteer work with Margie’s Kids Kare. Her vision extends beyond individual wellness to collective healing—a guiding principle as humanity transitions into the Age of Aquarius, a time she believes will prioritize innovation, connection, and holistic well-being.

Her journey from clinical psychologist to creative healer is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of embracing one’s authentic self.
