I'm a yoga teacher, ultra run coach, personal trainer, and lifelong recreational athlete.

Testimonials
I instantly felt a deep connection with Jill during our coaching session. She has the kind of presence that makes you feel supported, like she truly has your back. I especially appreciated the breath work she guided me through—it helped regulate my emotions and brought me back to a calm, balanced state. Her support and gentle guidance made the session incredibly grounding and restorative. Jackie M.
Jill was able to help me zero in on exactly what I needed to focus on and drew my attention to what really mattered in my life and business. Her approach was so supportive and gentle, it was exactly what I needed as I was guided to a place of ease and away from overthinking. Taylor L.
The Monday classes are a great way to stretch, increase mobility, and recover from long weekend runs and strength training during the week. Yoga also provides opportunities to work on balance, which is important for those of us over 60. Karen P.
