About Awakened Hearts Organization
Grounded healing. Structured support. Sustainable transformation.
Founder Story
After surviving heroin addiction in 2006, Jesse began the long process of rebuilding his life from the inside out. Addiction had stripped away illusions and exposed deeper wounds. Disconnection, dysregulation, and avoidance. Through disciplined healing, nervous system work, and sustained personal responsibility, he learned that transformation must be structured to be sustainable. Awakened Hearts Organization was born from that lived understanding in 2020.
AHO exists to help people build lives rooted in clarity, resilience, and meaningful
connection. We believe healing is not an identity — it is a process that can lead to full
restoration, strength, and contribution.
Our Mission
