I have been a physiotherapist working with people in their own homes for over 30 years, both privately and in the NHS. More recently, I have been managing team of therapists working with more senior patients mainly in both the local community and at the JR.
I have worked with many people with disabilities, traumas and illnesses of many types and severities, such as strokes, MS, falls, frailty, fractures bones and joint replacements. We have worked together to achieve their goals with rehabilitation to improve their lives as much as possible and restore maximum ability or in some cases, maintain or give assistance to those who are loosing their physical abilities.
I am now combining my experience of physio and working with bodies and health with that of my passion for yoga for a holistic approach to health and fitness.
Testimonial from Eliza, yoga student on zoom for over a year:
One year ago, I started yoga as a beginner with Jess via zoom. Jess is a great teacher: calm, gives clear and simple instructions, always encouraging, always positive. She pays careful attention to what I am doing, meaning I get maximum benefit from every pose. She is good at pitching her lessons to my level, and, as a physiotherapist, she is able professionally to tailor our sessions around my bad knee. I have found her punctual, kindly and cheerful, and, most importantly, has listened to my feedback and met my individual needs. Altogether, I cannot imagine a better yoga instructor.
Testimonal from David, in person classes:
Jess’s teachings of yoga balances her professional understanding of the body with her wisdom and insight towards spirituality. Her practice is intelligent, approachable, soulful and intuitive, bringing an atmosphere of safety and joy. Jess channels the Now through her character and spirit. The pace of her sessions allows for exploration connection and encourages reflection, something I truly valued. Namaste!
Testimonial from Lisa, attended in person classes in Eynsham
With Jessica's excellent teaching skills I have been able to quickly learn and grow in confidence with the poses and feel both the positive energy and physical benefits of yoga. Jessica has a unique and relaxed style and is able to adapt to a class of mixed abilities that suits both beginners through to the very advanced. The class has not only taught me the physical techniques but also the very interesting history of yoga.
