Jessica Youngblood’s journey to founding Gratia Plena was born not out of ease, but out of trial. After a 14-year military career and years of service as a nurse, she stepped away to embrace the full-time role of mother to her ten children. Life’s course changed abruptly when a devastating car accident left her and her family with lasting injuries—an experience that reshaped her perspective and her path.

What could have remained a story of loss became instead a story of renewal. In the face of hardship, Jessica sought answers in health, wellness, and healing—discovering new therapies and the profound potential of peptide science. The search to help her family regain strength and hope evolved into a mission: to guide others from desperation to restoration.

Through Gratia Plena, Jessica weaves together her background in nursing, her training Mental Health and Wellness Therapist, a wellness coach, and her work as a peptide specialist. The brand embodies her belief that healing is possible, resilience is powerful, and that grace can fill the spaces where struggle once lived. Her story is a testament to turning adversity into purpose—and an invitation for others to find wholeness through the same journey.
