I’m Jill — a restorative and therapeutic yoga teacher in Chicago, a space holder, and a guide for those who are tired of over-functioning and ready to finally exhale.

​

For 25 years, I worked in surgical healthcare — steady in high-stakes rooms, caring for others, holding it all together.
And like many who live in service, I burned out more than once.

​

My healing didn’t begin with doing more.
It began with slowing down.

​

Through restorative yoga, nervous system healing, and energy work, I found my way back into my body.
Back into breath.
Back into myself.

​

Now, I offer restorative and therapeutic yoga in Chicago for those navigating burnout, chronic stress, and the quiet exhaustion of always being the strong one.

​

My work is slow. Intentional. Rooted in the nervous system.

​

Through supported postures, gentle Reiki-informed care, and embodied awareness, I create spaces where your body can soften and your system can remember safety.

​

This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about remembering.

Remembering that peace isn’t passive — it’s power.
And the wisdom you’re seeking is already in your body.

​

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500), a Master Reiki Practitioner, and a Master Certified Wellness Coach. With decades in healthcare, I bring grounded presence, trauma-aware sensitivity, and deep respect for the nervous system into every offering.
