Hi, I’m Jennifer—a yoga instructor, Reiki Master, and life empowerment coach who believes that healing is not only possible—it’s sacred.
My own healing journey began after the loss of my eldest son—my greatest teacher. Standing at the crossroads of heartbreak and purpose, I turned inward through breath, movement, energy work, and self-inquiry… and outward toward community, compassion, and connection. Along the way, I learned that true healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it blossoms in the presence of compassion, intention, and shared humanity.
During my yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India—the birthplace of yoga—I experienced the profound power of integrating body, mind, and spirit. Inspired by that deep sense of spiritual connection and collective healing, I founded Samyama Wellness Collective—a sanctuary for healing, health, and hope. Samyamameans “integration”: the still point where concentration, meditation, and enlightenment merge, reflecting my belief in the power of stillness, presence, and wholeness.
Through personalized yoga sessions, I help clients release tension, build strength, and reconnect with their bodies in a way that honors their unique needs. Through Reiki energy healing, I support emotional release, deep relaxation, and energetic balance. And through life empowerment coaching, I guide clients to clarify their vision, step into their confidence, and take inspired action toward a life they love.
My style is grounding, my guidance intuitive, and my mission clear: to help you feel safe, seen, and supported as you navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and transformations.
If you are seeking to ease stress, heal from loss, deepen self-connection, or realign your life with your values, I welcome you with warmth, wisdom, and an open heart.
