A little more about me
Hi, I'm Jill. I'm glad you're here.
I've always been fascinated by people — how we think, what shapes us, what holds us back, and what helps us come alive.
That curiosity has shaped more than 30 years of work as a coach, educator, and facilitator. And one thing I've learned along the way is that meaningful change rarely happens through insight alone.
It happens when we begin to see things differently, reconnect with ourselves, experiment with new possibilities, and put what we're learning into practice.
I believe there's room for curiosity, laughter, movement, and a little playfulness along the way.
Because growth doesn't have to feel like another thing we're supposed to get right.
The experience behind the approach
Grounded in education. Enriched by experience.
My education in dance/movement therapy, spiritual psychology, and professional coaching gives me a multidimensional perspective on growth—one that recognizes the connection between how we think, how we feel, how we move, and how we live.
- Master of Arts in Dance/Movement Therapy
- Master of Arts in Spiritual Psychology
- Professional Coaching Certification
I'm also the author of From Stressed to Zen and the creator and instructor of mindfulness and mind-body awareness courses at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
My approach brings together evidence-informed practices, thoughtful conversation, practical tools, and a deep appreciation for the connection between mind and body.
I'm not here just to listen. I'm here to partner with you.
Of course, listening matters. Deeply.
But great coaching goes beyond a thoughtful conversation.
I intentionally work with a small number of clients because I want to be genuinely invested in each person's growth. I want to understand what matters to you, celebrate your progress, challenge patterns that keep you stuck, and help you discover new possibilities.
Sometimes we'll slow down and find your footing. Sometimes I'll ask a question that shifts your perspective. And sometimes we'll get out of our heads, bring our bodies into the conversation, and try something new.
We'll make room for the serious stuff. And we'll make room for laughter, too.
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and encouraged as you create meaningful change in your everyday life.
Beyond the work
Curious by nature. Playful by choice.
When I'm not coaching or teaching, I'm often happiest outdoors — hiking a trail, exploring somewhere new, moving my body, or simply taking in the natural world.
I'm endlessly curious about people, possibilities, and what happens when we loosen our grip on how things are supposed to be.
I love a good adventure, an unexpected discovery, and opportunities to be a little silly.
And then there's Luna...
My four-legged adventure buddy, meditation partner, paddleboarding sidekick, and daily reminder that life is better when we stay curious, get outside, and don't take ourselves too seriously.
I'm pretty sure she's the one doing the coaching.

You don't need to have it all figured out. Sometimes the best place to begin is with a conversation.
