Her integration of embodied mindfulness and meditation includes somatic practices and contemplative psychology along with 35 years of Buddhist practice and silent retreats. She has been teaching for decades in hospitals, trauma centers, addiction institutes, at risk youth facilities, corporations and meditation centers with the intention of empowering and inspiring people from all walks of life, backgrounds and dispositions.
Jill’s dedication to understanding her own mind and body and creating accessible, practical contemplative practices are rooted in the body. This came by way of multiple surgeries, years of chronic pain and the marginalization that often comes from a condition not being recognized. She has practiced on over 150 silent meditation retreats – in monasteries, meditation communities and in isolation. She was named “one of the 4 leading (mindful movement) and Buddhist teachers in the country” by Shambhala Sun (now Lion’s Roar) Magazine.
