Meet Jillian, Your Coach and Guide

Hello! I want to share with you my personal journey into health and wellness and why I chose a path of helping others. My own healing has lead my practice to encompass chronic pain coaching, wellness coaching, psychedelic mushroom facilitation, and microdose education to promote the safe use of psilocybin mushrooms.

My interest in health began as a teenager as I was seeking solutions for chronic pain and other symptoms I was experiencing. At the age of 16, I was supporting myself and navigating the complex US healthcare system with minimal guidance. During this time, I was prescribed numerous medications for fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, and migraines. But no matter how many medications I was taking, my symptoms were not alleviated, which lead me to question the efficacy of my treatment plan and search for alternative solutions.

A significant turning point came when a neurologist recommended a food journal, helping me identify and eliminate triggers for my symptoms that were in my diet. This approach, coupled with yoga and meditation, marked the beginning of a more proactive and informed management of my health. Medication is a useful tool, but learning how to create a lifestyle that supported my overall well-being was pivotal in taking back control of my health.

However, my journey took a more challenging turn when I found myself in an abusive marriage. This devastating experience and eventual escape brought my symptoms to new heights, teaching me the profound impact of stress and trauma on physical and emotional health. It was through this heart wrenching period that I truly recognized the importance of an holistic approach to healing. Leveraging yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, and my support network, I began to rebuild my life. Therapy and coaching were integral pieces to moving through the trauma I experienced in my childhood and marriage as they helped me process my experiences and gain greater self-awareness. Viewing my healing through an integrative lens allowed me to learn how to regulate my nervous system, identify and change unhealthy patterns and behaviors, and create a beautiful life that allows me to continue to walk the healing path and find new opportunities for growth and exploration.

With a solid foundation of wellness practices to work from, I began to explore psychedelics as an additional tool to further my healing and self-discovery. Learning how to cultivate my own psilocybin mushrooms ignited my curiosity around understanding their interaction with the nervous system. I learned that research supports the use of psilocybin as a healing modality due to its ability to enhance neuroplasticity, leading to shifts in mindset and profound insights. Since 2021, I have been helping others use this powerful medicine for personal transformation.

Today, my mission is to to offer a comprehensive support system for others navigating their wellness journeys. I am passionate about fostering deep connections with my clients through sharing my own experiences and struggles while providing education, safety, and support. By integrating holistic practices such as breathwork and nervous system regulation within my work as a coach and guide, I acknowledge the intricate relationship between emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

I am committed to creating a supportive and empowering environment for my clients, recognizing the unique challenges each person faces. There is no singular approach that works for everyone, and each session or journey is tailored to meet your individual needs. Using a gentle and compassionate approach, my goal is to help you take control of your health and wellness. Through both traditional and innovative strategies, you can achieve balance and fulfillment. Let’s embark on this journey together, exploring the best path forward for your overall well-being.
