“After decades of following every fad diet, I found myself incapable of knowing what a healthy meal plan looked like. What’s a girl to do in the absence of rules?

I discovered new foods and created colorful and satisfying meals that were personalized to my tastes and preferences. Jill’s knowledge and gentle touch left me with a catalogue of ideas and helpful hints that will guide me for years to come”—

“Jill is the nutritionist coach you need but don’t know you need. I was looking for someone to tell me what to eat to lose weight and what I needed was someone to help me understand my relationship with food. Our coaching sessions were literally life changing. Jill helped me to unlearn many of my long standing and unhelpful thoughts, reactions and interactions with eating and food. She is a life, food, and wellness coach who uses her extensive yoga and nutrition backgrounds to inform the individualized coaching she delivers.”

“Our daughter has been doing yoga with Jill for two years once a week after school. It’s really been great for her — and for us. Not only is our daughter learning different yoga concepts and positions, but she is also learning to stretch body and mind. She’s a pretty high strung kid, and Jill’s way of teaching soothes and calms even kids who spend a lot of time in high gear. I appreciate how Jill gets them to settle down and quiet down at the end of the class. There’s a meditative quality that is very welcome. It’s also nice to have a group that includes both boys and girls! I’d recommend Jill’s yoga class to parents of all kids. Thanks, Jill!”

She encourages us , you can do it is her mantra. If you’ve tried a pose, and find it difficult, she’ll offer you an alternative that gives you the same benefits, only easier for a beginner. Our class is fun! We laugh as much as we stretch! We leave her class floating!”

“I have been taking yoga classes with Jill for the past four years and I enjoy her class. I am older then the rest of my class but she never makes me feel it. She will show you how to do a position that might be better suited for you without making you feel self conscious. She always ask what we want or don’t want in our class. I always look forward to Thursday at 4:00 pm. Thanks Jill. ”
— Sue Jalbert
“I met Jill a few years ago when she instructed a yoga class at our community center. It was my first yoga experience and I loved it. Unfortunately, the class wasn’t renewed so I asked Jill if she taught privately. For the past 5 years, she has been coming to my place of work on a weekly basis and leading yoga for a group of stressed out teachers. We look forward to it every week. She is also so supportive and adjusts every part of every pose in every class so that all participants feel successful! Her warmth and sense of humor help us to laugh at ourselves and be mindful of the joy of being together. ”
