Jayne is a teacher/guide/mentor and life-long student who is passionate about her growth and personal development. Jayne is a practicing somatic psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience. Over the years, Jayne has evolved and refined her approach to healing and transformation through movement, yoga, dance, and somatic psychotherapy.

Jayne is a yogi and an aerial acrobat. Jayne’s interest in somatic psychotherapy led her to study and practice yoga and yoga dance. Jayne’s interest in the aerial arts extends naturally from her time as a competitive gymnast. Jayne is a Kripalu-certified yoga teacher and completed her Hatha yoga training in 2012. Jayne has been studying Unnata aerial yoga since 2014 and completed her Unnata Level 3 training in 2021.
