Founder

Jessica Young is a passionate advocate for animal welfare and a prominent figure in the Naples community. As the founder of Jestheva Aesthetics, a premier Med Spa and laser clinic, she is dedicated to helping clients achieve optimal skin health and confidence. At Jestheva Aesthetics, Jessica and her team specialize in delivering customized, results-driven skincare treatments in a rejuvenating and welcoming environment. Her entrepreneurial success has not only advanced the field of aesthetics but also enabled her to extend her impact through meaningful philanthropic efforts.

Jessica’s commitment to giving back is exemplified through her co-founding of Naples Puppy Prom alongside Dr. Edna May. The idea for this signature event was born during a visit to DAS (Domestic Animal Services) of Collier County, where Jessica recognized the critical need for increased visibility and funding for the shelter. Leveraging her vast community network and event-planning skills, Jessica organized the inaugural Puppy Prom in 2023. The event raised significant funds and awareness for the shelter and became a cornerstone of her charitable work. By the second annual Puppy Prom, Jessica and her team raised over $40,000, further solidifying the event’s role in supporting local animals in need.

This success inspired additional events, including the Howl-O-Ween Brew & Boo Bash and the annual Paws & Pints at Riptide Brewery, both created to unite the community for a shared cause. Alongside her co-founder Alanna Moorey, Jessica has made these events a powerful force for change, proving that creativity and compassion can go hand in hand to make a tangible difference.

In 2024, Jessica expanded her efforts by founding Wags to Wishes, a nonprofit organization designed to bridge the gap between affluent individuals in Naples and low-income families eager to adopt pets. Wags to Wishes provides sponsorships for adoptions and lifelong support for pet care, ensuring that financial limitations are not a barrier to creating loving homes for shelter animals. The organization focuses on enrichment, proper nutrition, and veterinary care, fostering long-term success for both pets and their new families.

Jessica’s dedication to animal welfare is deeply personal. Her journey began with her first "foster fail," Ollie, a resilient dog rescued from the Mexico border. Overlooked due to Black Dog Syndrome, Ollie found a loving home with Jessica, marking the start of her commitment to rescue advocacy. Ashton, a grey and white cat with a cleft palate, soon joined the family, followed by Hank, a spirited Chihuahua-dachshund mix who overcame malnourishment and neglect to become her loyal companion. Together, Ollie, Ashton, and Hank form a beloved trio that fuels Jessica's passion for animal welfare.

Beyond her animal advocacy, Jessica shares her life with her fiancé, Blake Mosher, owner of Unlimited Home Renovations. Blake’s unwavering support and shared love for animals have made him an integral part of Jessica’s initiatives. His expertise in custom tile work and home repair complements Jessica’s own talents, and together they create a dynamic partnership in life and service.

Jessica credits much of her success to the unwavering encouragement of her parents, who instilled in her the belief that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to. Their guidance and love have been instrumental in shaping her journey, both professionally and personally.

From her work at Jestheva Aesthetics to her transformative efforts in animal rescue, Jessica Young exemplifies compassion, dedication, and leadership. Her story inspires those around her, proving that with passion and purpose, it is possible to make a lasting impact in the lives of both people and animals.
