Hi! I'm Jill. My Intention behind HearthFire Collective is a communal place created to support the whole you and the fire within your heart. It is still a work in progress and at this point in time very much in a visionary state. 

​

The vision is a collective of the core offerings of Yoga,Holistic Health and Education.

 

 The idea was inspired by a story that was shared with me during my first yoga teacher training on the history of fire in villages long ago, before fire was easily made as it is today. Back during a time when there was one fire for an entire village known was the Hearth Fire. It was an integral part of a village and an essential source of wellbeing. Both a central place of gathering and a means to meet needs of life.  Assigned villagers would take turns tending to the fire day and night to ensure it did not go out.  All in the village would source from this one communal fire bringing it in to the heart of their homes for warmth and light.​

​

This is the Hope for HearthFire Collective.  A place where you can come to have  your  mind, body and spirit cared for.  A place that fuels the fire of your heart, your forever home, so that you can be the fullness of warmth and light that you are.

About Me

I come from a long line of healthcare providers including grandmothers, grandfathers, parents, aunts and uncles.Naturally I have always been drawn to health and wellness and began a career as a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery 2001.  Yoga came into my life as a way to support my love for running, but I quickly recognized it's potency was so much more than a physical practice. Over the years, the demands of working in healthcare took a toll and I was struggling with severe anxiety and depression. 

After reaching in many directions looking to regain clarity and strength I surrendered into yoga as a means to healing. 

​

Through practice and study I discovered yoga offered the kind of true healthcare I had set out to share when I choose the path of nursing. I have over 1,000 hours of yoga training, including certifications in prenatal yoga and yoga psychology. I just completed my Holistic Nursing Degree as of Aug 2024 and am excited to begin the work of expanding Hearth Fire Collective.
