Here’s how a private session with Jill works:

Bring a camera.
After an assessment of your needs and the time you have to practice,
Jill will ‘prescribe’ a practice for you to do at home. We’ll take
photographs of the sequence and write out instructions together.

The first session is 1 and 1/2 hours: cost $150 ( $175 in your home).

Bring a friend, the price stays the same. Financial needs are taken into account with a sliding scale.

Your private sessions can focus on physical postures, how to support better communication between your mind and body, understanding both mind and body, meditation instruction/advice – all or one – you choose.

The most important aspect of these sessions is that they are for you - to fascilitate your awareness, harness your mind's potential, offer you tools for your own growth, freedom and empowerment. We utilize the mind in the body as a way of practicing meditation, whether in stillness or in motion. We practice presence of mind through the vehicle that we all have - the body. We see the body as a wonderful reflection of our mind and heart.

Private sessions are excellent for anyone living with chronic pain or illness, PTSD or any kind of trauma. Together we can work with what you are dealing with and develop a variety of tools to work with what your life holds.

Mind in the Body: restoration & renewal

For those who may benefit from personal attention -whether it be due to an injury, chronic pain, physical illness, or emotional imbalances. The sessions are the same as a private, but will include useful information about why various postures are chosen and their relationship to your circumstances. Similar to physical therapy, similar to emotional therapy, but with practical information about your own body and your own mind - so that you may participate in and understand the re-newal process of your body and mind working together.
