Hi, I'm Jill, & this is how I went from exhausted Director to Senior Yoga Teacher and built an empowered life rooted in joy.
My hope is that my own story will empower you to discover how you can also live an authentic life that is bursting with joy and gratitude.
My life's purpose is to empower others to transform self-doubt and fears into courage and unlock potential and inner radiance with myths, ritual and sacred practice so that, you too, can live your best life.
Since the tender age of 14 I worked in restaurants and hospitality management. Initially peeling potatoes and waiting tables. Then in later years managing restaurants and eventually becoming an Operations Director for an independent restaurant company. I wish I had discovered the joy of yoga & ritual back then, as I was permanently stressed, and on the verge of total burnout.
It was at that I 'upped sticks' to go be with my first great love in the wilderness in Canada!
We lived a simple life surrounded by trees, lakes, mountains and ranchers.
It was during this time that he taught me to align with the seasonal cycles and rhythms of nature and the time I discovered a local Yoga Class and began to attend weekly. I immediately fell in love with the practice and also began a daily practice at home. When my beloved was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I shared the basic relaxation techniques that I had learnt with him - &, despite his initial scepticism, they proved to be a great support to both of us.
Sadly, in 2001, he passed, and in the year that followed I used Yoga, in conjunction with immersing in nature, as a tool for my own personal healing.
The following year I took my first (of many!) Yoga Teacher Trainings in California.
These valuable teachings and life lessons gave me the support and empowerment to work with my fear, grief and self doubt and helped me to create a life full of joy and bliss.
I love to learn (eternal Student!) and gain knowledge, but for me, the real pleasure comes from sharing and witnessing how yoga and ritual make a real difference to peoples' lives.
So if you've been feeling:
- stuck or limited
- lacking joy or passion in your life
- knowing that something needs to change but you have been afraid to make it happen
then, I'm here to help YOU!
Through all my offerings I will share with you transformational tools to help you fearlessly live your best life and empower and awaken your spirit.
