Even when you’re taking care of business and everyone around you, you make time for your self-care. That’s why you’re here, right? I know it’s important to you. And I know it’s not always easy to practice at home with your couch and Netflix calling your name.
That’s where I come in…
Let me guide you through virtual myofascial release and yoga classes, so you can get a massage every day, maintain mobility, and sleep like a baby.
Hi there, I’m
Jessie
I’m the smiling face you’ve seen all over this website. I’m a movement and mindfulness educator with a love for yoga and the roots of the practice.
Fast Facts:
My love of mindful movement began with the sit and reach in elementary school because my hamstring flexibility was off the charts.
I’m an anatomy geek and the way I remember muscle names is by saying them like Harry Potter spells.
I have a knack for articulating cues so you only need to look at your screen if you want to.
AND ME?
I’m a student just like you!
My goals are to help you befriend your body and snuggle up to your nervous system. I was on the outs with my own for so long and it was through mindfulness practices that we became besties.
I started my yoga practice in earnest in 2004. Curious about biomechanics and mindfulness, I immersed myself in a 30-day Forrest Yoga Foundational Teacher Training Program for my 200-HR teaching certification.
Since that first training, my thirst for knowledge has yet to be quenched. I’ve completed the Forrest Yoga Advanced Teacher Training Program, Forrest Yoga Mentorship Program, and Yoga Tune Up® Certification, and 500 hour Teacher Training with Fresh Yoga. And that’s just yoga, I also earned my master’s degree in dietetics and I’m a licensed Am I Hungry?® Mindful Eating Facilitator.
I’ve been teaching since 2007 to classes ranging in size from 1 to 1000 – as a featured teacher at Yoga Reaches Out. I co-authored Yoga and Mindful Eating with Michelle May, M.D. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from my own practice and creating and teaching my own yoga teacher training programs.
My mission is to share this knowledge of our inner workings to help you self-soothe frazzled nerves and feel at home in your body. I’m in this to make a difference for you because it has made such a difference for me.
