Meet Jill

Ever since I was very young, I have always seen the potential in everything and everyone – from a scrawny stray dog to the awkward new kid at school to houses that needed renovations and yards that needed clearing. You name it – I see pure potential.

Of course, my biggest passion of all is helping people of all ages recognize their own pure potential and getting to witness their healing.

I came to health coaching and energy medicine through my own “resurrection” from a physical health crisis that started in 2008. At that time, I enjoyed a boot camp workout 4-5 days a week; walked in the 60-mile Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk with my daughter; served on two boards; and my nation-wide inspirational jewelry business was rapidly growing. All of these things were good things: exercising, participating in a cause, serving the community, and running a growing company.

And then… my body crashed. It was painfully freezing up, and I received the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.

But I healed.

How?

I became very conscious of what I fed myself with both food and thought. Food is energy. Thought is energy. With this new awareness, I weaned myself off medication within a year and I have been healed ever since.

With this newfound awareness, I went back to school to become a certified Health and Life Coach to help others realize their pure potential through healing.  However, as I worked with clients through Health Coaching, emotions would often bubble up in my clients that could not be ignored. I recognized that there must be a way to bridge the mind – body connection with my clients.

To bridge this gap, I received my certification as a Master EFT Practitioner. Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping), is a stress reduction technique using elements of cognitive therapy with physical stimulation of acupuncture points. The effectiveness of EFT has been established for phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, pain and more. EFT reduces cortisol levels by 40%!

Further enhancing my energy psychology practice, I became a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, for which I am most recognized. Healing touch is an energy healing therapy endorsed by the Holistic Nursing Association. During a session I consciously uses my hands in a heart-centered and intentional way to enhance, support and facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and self-healing.

I am also a Laughter Yoga Leader, because laughter is the best medicine!  And a well-respected and requested Speaker at company wellness seminars which I love to do!

I know that your body is an intuitive goldmine. It wants to be heard and is always speaking to you. Weight gain, low energy, anxiety, feeling “lost,” feeling overwhelmed, chronic physical pain, relationship struggles are all symptoms of being out of harmony and balance. Symptoms are messengers beckoning you back into balance. Our physical body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit are in constant communication. They are so intricately connected that they cannot be separated.

I believe health, balance, and happiness are the norm for all of us. When we allow filters of fear, limiting beliefs, doubt, unforgiveness, and worries to block the energy flow, we get out of alignment of the natural order. God’s order. The Universe’s order. The Vibrational order. That’s when issues will eventually show up in the tissues.

As we heal, we increasingly re-member our inward wholeness and our oneness with life and each other.

As a certified Healing Touch Practitioner, Master EFT Practitioner and Coach, my passion is to help you balance mind, body, emotion and spirit. They’re all spectacularly connected. I am compelled to help you make self-care and soul-care part of your daily rhythm so that you can begin to see your life flowing and flourishing.  It will have a ripple effect in every area of your life.  I would be honored to work with you.

Let’s reclaim balance in your life and release your true potential.

Life Outside Coaching:

My oldest daughter, Jessica, said to me one time, “Mom, you know why we all work so well together in our family? It’s because each of us thinks we are the Robin to the other person’s Batman.” How right she is.

I love my Batmans.

I have been married for over 35 years to my best friend, David, who I met while we attended The University of Virginia.  Together we raised two incredible women who are now married to two incredible men.  And I am now a grandma (our first dubbed me “Beeba”).

What keeps me busy outside of coaching?  Learning! I am a lifetime learner. And I love to paint. It is my playdough. I love to hike, and weed, and be in nature where I absorb God’s energy. I love to play… that is why I incorporated my free Laughter Yoga sessions (check it out under “Offerings”). We can’t have too much play.

My passion through my coaching work and speaking engagements is to encourage and inspire each of us to see ourselves as God sees us – wonderfully made with our own unique exponential potential.
