Personal History (abridged)
This is a journey of a positive proactive quest. An intuitive journey of seeking solutions self-learning and discovery. A competing gymnast & equestrian, in her teens, Jill developed a chronically painful scoliosis & kyphosis, was diagnosed with osteochondritis and told her spine would always be stiff and painful. In her twenties she contracted a rare virus and developed debilitating ME/CFS. Despite her constraints she took up downhill skiing, and repeatedly rehabilitated and recovered after experiencing injuries. These included, repeated bilateral shoulder joint dislocation, ACL rupture, lumbar disc and nerve damage and five fractures of major bones. To learn she studied the deep inner work of mindful meditation, Feldenkrais movement, psychology ,neuroscience and applied this to herself with the outcome that her chronic pain resolved, she developed more flexibility in her spine, and her chronic fatigue became manageable.
She has taken what she learned and created three bodies of work to help others:
Clinical Feldenkrais, Faster-Sleep, Mindful-Laughter,
