As a somatic facilitator who has facilitated many events, including at TikTok headquarters, Jillian hosts sacred spaces for humans from all walks of life including executives, leaders, and healers to transform on the yoga mat through sound, breathwork, and body movements.
Jillian's love for somatic healing grew while she was losing her Mom to cancer. It was a turning point in her young adult life and she fixated on her spirituality to navigate through the grief. Losing her Mom was quite literally like losing a part of herself. The only way she could begin to identify as Jillian rather than solely Jillian, daughter of Elona, and fully move through her pain was through all of the work she did on her mat. She found her intuition on the mat. She discovered her voice, her message, and her power on the mat.
Today, Jillian utilizes twenty-eight years of wisdom as a guiding healer in the somatics world. She is grief & trauma-sensitive with deep knowledge in alignment. Her yoga lineage of training stems from the late Maty Ezraty at Yoga Works and is a blend of Hatha and Iyengar. In addition to facilitating yoga, sound, breathwork, and reiki, Jillian is also an intuitive mentor specializing in life purpose, transformational trauma, and neuro-linguistic programming.
