Jill excels in treating pregnancy discomfort and pain - both prenatal and postpartum.

Out of this work came a passion for treating digestive imbalances and ways to naturally enhance fertility in both women and men. She has been a Teaching Assistant in several of the Self Care Retreats taught by Kimberly Hart.
In addition, Jill has training in essential oil therapies for creating balance within the body.
