“You got the highest ratings of any speaker we have ever had at Grand Rounds!”

“Jill is one of the most intuitively knowledgeable teachers I know. She combines science and spirituality, seen and unseen, in ways that are practical and accessible. Having Jill teach my patients meditation and somatic practices has been an incredible support in their healing. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Your combination of science and intuition, articulation and imagination makes you the best teacher, and one of greatest of friends I have ever had.”

“You have the best voice and metaphors of any meditation teacher I’ve ever heard.”

“You give the best text.”

“Thank you, you are very helpful, I am more relaxed now.”

“You are the real deal – what we have only studied as far as healing you have lived and accomplished. You are an example of what working with the mind and body means.”

“Jill was one of the first yoga teachers to incorporate mindfulness in her teachings. She understands the healing power of mindfulness and embodiment because she has experienced it for herself. She also has a unique perspective on the social good that both practices can offer the world. Jill possesses specific and valuable knowledge about the more subtle aspects of the body that can help anyone deepen their practice.”

“Jill is that rare teacher who speaks to the intuition as well as the intellect, activating the capacity for healing and realization in her students.  Both practical and profound, she bridges the mind-body connection.”

“The manner in which you convey the teachings is unreplicated by any other teacher who has visited our sangha and is a true gift to our sangha.”

“I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and the (embodied mindfulness) work you are doing with the folks we have in common. I see the difference!”

“As someone who has struggled with mindfulness and meditation, even as I’ve recommended these approaches to my therapy clients, I’ve had such a breakthrough working with Jill. Her relational approach to mindfulness has helped me to understand the concepts on a more intuitive level. Increasingly I find myself incorporating mindfulness into client sessions — with incredible results. Working with Jill has been an absolute joy and a career-expanding experience.”

“Hi Jill, I am getting a lot of benefit from your guided meditations which I recently discovered. I have been downloading and listening to these for more than ten years. Yours stand out! Nice voice. Imaginative metaphors. Your wisdom shines through.

“Jill is one of the most humble yet powerful teachers I have ever known. Without fanfare or attitude she shares a wealth of knowledge that only those whom have spent years mining inner depths can offer. I am truly grateful for her guidance.”

I have been mentored by Jill for the past two years. It’s incredible how spontaneously her wisdom flows through and imparts itself into any life situation. Her humor is catching, and has allowed me to lighten up even in the most serious times, and deepen up when I need to take a closer look at myself and my own heart and mind.”

“What was apparent to me was the sincerity of your heart, a heart that had been through hell and chose to stay open, and also chose to use whatever pain that life had served up as a way to be of benefit to others. On the occasions that I have had since to be around you, I continue to see that this is true.  I admire that you have found a way to humbly and courageously share what others may or may not understand”.

“We weren’t sure how to begin a wellness program for our small start up company until someone introduced us to Jill. Her years of experience in the healthcare field, and her understanding of practical and accessible mindfulness and wellness tools to help our employees were exactly the right fit. Everyone has been benefitting from what she created for us, and we see for ourselves the benefits of having our employees utilize the combination of mind body tools that she has given them.”

“Jill’s wisdom, humor and lack of pretension allows me and all of us, to access mindfulness and meditation and actually bring it into our lives in ways that make sense to each of us.”

“Jill’s retreats are more than teacher training they reform you in a way that changes every aspect of your life and all of your relationships.”

“I love working with people who are suffering from illness and pain (I know that might sound strange) but it is real-er than real as both the patients (and I) negotiate fear, anger, and confusion.  Working with the patients in the medical setting points me towards what is truly useful in yoga/ somatic integration/ meditation/communication – I find I am paring things down into their simpler, clearer, and cleaner expressions both in action and in words, striving to make the teachings accessible to people of all backgrounds and belief systems.  It has been such a gift.

In that, I want to thank you for your teaching, guidance and friendship – there isn’t a day that passes that I don’t think of you, hear your voice in my head, wish you well and feel a deep gratitude for your presence in my life.”

“Jill is as authentic as one can get.  Her teaching breaks through misconceptions and delusions about yoga and meditation and hits us right where it counts, in our hearts and in relation to our daily lives.  Jill helped me access some of the hardest, darkest spaces within myself, and she led me to do this with an attitude of openness and the expectation that healing is possible.”

“Jill’s analogies and metaphors and gift for detailing and exacting instruction have been the best instructions I have ever had.”
