Coach
Yoga Teacher Indigenous Healer Entrepreneur

Hi, I’m Jess!

As a Canadian born healer and yoga teacher of Anishinaabe First Nations and Punjabi Indian descent, I honor the traditional customs of yoga and respect Indigenous culture.

As an anti-racist healer and teacher, my goal is to create equity in conference rooms, on the yoga mat, and in coaching sessions.

I’m continually aware of who is not in the room and who needs to be.

Through years of working in non-profits, teaching yoga, and working as a health coach, I quickly realized in each setting, brown and black people rarely had a chance to voice opinions or ask for support. I noticed this right away because I felt I couldn’t voice my opinions.

In that exploration and more, I knew my work would eventually lead me to help people of color feel and be seen in ALL settings.

​I am an activist and anti-racist. I’m committed to becoming a bridge with roots in both the modern and traditional world.

My work is to help you:

  • Give yourself permission to be yourself

  • Feel more connected to your life and work

  • Spend your time connecting not perfecting

  • Receive as much as you give

  • Love yourself

  • Learn to say no

  • Succeed on your own terms

  • Be free to say how you feel and what you want

 



You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to constrict yourself to make other people comfortable.
