New! Somatic Yoga Therapy Online!

In 2025, I’ll be launching my Somatic Yoga Therapy Evolution program. This will be a customizable at-home program that will teach you how to regulate your nervous system, embody your Self, and release stored emotions.

“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.

 

Client Testimonials

  • “I have suffered from Interstitial Cystitis and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for 9 years. It has affected my quality of life in so many ways. I was on many medications for chronic pain including valium to ease bladder spasms when they occurred. In my very first appointment, Jeanette showed me a yoga pose / position that provides immediate relief to my bladder and pelvic floor. By doing this, I have been able to eliminate the need for the valium. And since then, I've reduced the doses of my other medications! Jeanette is extremely knowledgeable about my health condition and explains things thoroughly and lovingly. I highly recommend Jeanette to anyone suffering with chronic pain and frustrated with other health issues.”

    -Darlene G.

  • "About ten years ago I started to feel an increasing amount of tightness in my neck and shoulders with decreased mobility. I really wanted to focus on the root cause of the pain and less on just treating the symptoms. Within two weeks of consistently following the yoga routine Jeanette was developing for me, I was starting to feel results with less pain and increased mobility. Thanks to Jeanette, my neck and shoulders are pain free and I have much greater movement in them for the first time in years. Jeanette is a great teacher and healer, and I would definitely recommend her."

    -Curtis Anderson

  • "I've had two sessions with Jeanette. It's been years since I've had relief for this long."

    -Shane Smith

  • "I have been pleasantly surprised with my experience. I have chronic pain from multiple car and home accidents, as well as work related injuries and had resigned myself to learning to live with the pain. I was encouraged to go see Jeanette, because she uses a very gentle approach to get us moving again. The therapy is individualized, she worked with me to breathe into the pain, and is helping me to learn how to manage the pain. She has provided the tools, to assist me in advancing my own self care. She encourages me to keep the lessons that work and discard the ones that don't. I have found my time with her to be beneficial. She is a true therapist, in the best sense of the word."

    -Colleen Spicer

  • "I have been working with Jeanette to improve my posture and strengthen parts of my body that are prone to injury...In the time I’ve worked with Jeanette, my blood pressure has decreased to a more healthy level, I am able to approach my work with clearer focus and purpose, I have significantly reduced my stress level"

    -Jesse Kearns

  • "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."
