Hi, I’m Jill!

At 50, I was deep into my career, adjusting to life as the mom of adult children—and now grandchildren—and feeling a little introspective. I was happy, but I also found myself wondering what else life might hold, who else I was meant to become, and what this next chapter could look like. But I was also burned out, frequently exhausted, and feeling out of sync with myself. Maybe you can relate?

Then I took a restorative yoga class and fell in love with the way it invited my body and my mind to slow down. I had no idea I could find that kind of rest in a yoga class, but it was exactly what I needed. I left feeling like I might be onto something.

My Path to Yoga Therapy

I began with a 200-hour yoga teacher training and continued into a 300-hour diversified teacher training. That experience showed me that yoga can be so much more than a traditional asana (movement) class.

I learned how movement options and supportive props—including blocks, bolsters, chairs, walls, straps, balls, and blankets—can make yoga more accessible, comfortable, and meaningful for different bodies and abilities.

I also discovered yoga therapy: a personalized, client-centered approach that draws from movement, breath work, meditation, mindfulness, guided relaxation, and other yogic practices to support an individual’s health and well-being goals.

Today, I offer yoga therapy and I have completed more than 400 hours of specialized study and certifications in areas including:

• Functional Yoga

• Meditation

• Yoga for Addiction and Recovery

• Yoga for Grief and Loss

• Yoga for Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma

• Yoga for the Cancer Care Continuum

• Yoga for Stress Resilience

• Yoga for Menopause Care

• Yoga for Arthritis

• Chakra Balancing

• and Pain Care Aware

My Approach

I am especially drawn to restorative yoga, gentle movement, Yoga Nidra, and the calming connection between body, mind, and breath. These practices helped me feel more at home in myself, and I love helping others explore what greater ease, steadiness, and connection might look like in their own bodies.

I believe yoga is for every BODY. I meet each student and client where they are, offering options, supportive props, and invite them to listen to their own body.

If you have never attended a yoga class, I’ve got you.

If you feel nervous about beginning, I’ve got you.

If you are exhausted, overwhelmed, or struggling to believe in yourself, I’ve got you.

I now have a much clearer sense of what this chapter of life can offer me. Perhaps I can help you discover what your next chapter might hold, too.

If you are curious about yoga therapy, restorative practices, or beginning yoga in a comfortable and supportive environment, I would love to connect with you.
