Client Testimonials

  • “The class tonight was wonderful! For the first time in my life it feels good to move my body! My body is blissful and feels like it's smiling back at me! It's quite emotional to feel so good in my body when I don't know if I ever have felt good in it before. I've never been able to meet myself where I'm at and feel good in my current body size. I've always felt like I need to loose weight to get there or do something to be better but it just never happened no matter how much or how little I have weighed throughout the years. Thank you so much for helping me meet myself where I am at and feeling good in this body I am in right now.”

  • Jeanette, her energy & the container she creates is truly sacred. Her approach to yoga & the body creates a foundation of trust & safety. I've taken her Somatic series twice & plan to take it again in the future-- I've been deeply grateful for the space to slow down, listen to my body & process emotion in a way that is gentle & non-judgmental. Jeanette is a passionate, knowledgeable & empathetic practitioner. If you're interested in a restorative practice that tunes into your nervous system, I highly recommend Jeanette.

  • Jeanette is incredible. I have major issues with body dissociation and with Jeanette's help, it doesn't feel so scary/unsafe to be in my own body anymore. She is wonderfully patient, non-judgemental, and knowledgeable. She explains things that are happening in the body in a clear and easy to understand way. She has put so much effort into making her home a welcoming space, where I can feel comfortable and let my guard down. I don't trust people easily, but her calm energy, the way she speaks, the way the room is set up, her amazing dog...it all puts me at ease. I have had such a wonderful time with Jeanette and I am so grateful for what she has done for me!

  • Jeanette is an extraordinary somatic yoga teacher, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have her as my instructor. I've participated in both her private and group sessions, and I always leave feeling thankful. Her profound understanding of somatic yoga and compassion have profoundly impacted my practice. In her classes, Jeanette fosters a nurturing and supportive environment that allows me to safely explore and deepen my mind-body connection. Her meticulous attention and gentle guidance have enabled me to achieve a deep sense of relaxation and release during practice. Jeanette's authentic concern for her students' well-being shines through in every session, and her dedication to somatic yoga is truly inspiring. I highly recommend Jeanette to anyone in search of a transformative and rejuvenating somatic yoga experience.

  • I attended a Somatic Yoga Therapy workshop that Jeanette led, and it was so grounding and nourishing. I've been an active yogi for 4 years now, and I've explored several types (yin, bikram, ashtanga, vinyasa, aerial). What I love about Jeanette's class was how clearly she articulated the movements, and how she held a grounding and safe space for each person to explore his/her own body. Somatic Yoga Therapy felt like flossing for the body--gentle, slow, mindful, and conscientious movements in sync with the breath to notice and develop deeper awareness of one's body. I didn't even know my nervous system was so dysregulated and stressed until after her class, when I noticed a huge difference. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned yogi, Jeanette's instruction, expertise, and energy will nourish and center you

  • "I attended a private yoga therapy lesson with Jeanette and she’s amazing! I’ve never done yoga before and she started the session addressing my concerns and issues which made me more at ease. She caters each plan specifically towards each client and really does care about you! After practicing my exercises even for a couple days, I’ve noticed less tension on my back and shoulders. Even mentally, her advice impacted me a lot and resonated with me. Definitely recommend her to anyone interested in yoga therapy."

Embodiment: A Path to Healing From Trauma
Embodiment: A Path to Healing From Trauma

Imagining with your five senses, you can paint a multidimensional picture that transforms your reality. It’s a simple yet powerful technique that you can do anywhere, anytime. You don’t need any special equipment or WiFi. Being able to engage your healing practice without reliance on any external object is the ultimate in self-empowerment.

Why Self-Love Isn’t Easy After Trauma (And Why That’s Okay)
Why Self-Love Isn’t Easy After Trauma (And Why That’s Okay)

I’m so tired of hearing, “Just love yourself.” As though it should be effortless. Well meaning teachers sometimes don’t know how hard it is and as a result, we can feel triggered, angry, or defeated. This blog will help you understand why it’s so hard and what you can do about it.

Expanding Your Window of Tolerance
Expanding Your Window of Tolerance

A powerful tool for awareness and healing, the window of tolerance model is applicable to a wide array of people and experiences, and transfers well across philosophical lines from clinical psychology to polyvagal theory and yogic Samkhya philosophy. 

“But I can’t do yoga.”

That’s great! Because this is yoga for people who don’t do yoga. No matter who you are, we can find a way to help you move, breathe, and thrive. If you’d like to find out about my practical, simple style, schedule a free consultation.
