Yoga Coordinator, Yoga Instructor
She/They
Jamie first made her way onto a yoga mat in 2005 after swimming-related shoulder surgeries left her without this meditative outlet. Having never considered yoga before, she was amazed, humbled, and instantly hooked.
Jamie started her yoga teacher training journey in 2011 with one of the first yoga studios in DC, Tranquil Space (which later became a part of YogaWorks). She then taught in DC and Northern Virginia before coming back home to Southern Maine in 2019.
Jamie gravitated toward the Roll Model® Method to help her chronic low back tension and aid in her recovery as she attempted to start a running routine. She enjoys sharing her approach to mobility and myofascial release with others to help their bodies move through this world with a little more ease.
Jamie lives with her spouse, two kiddos, a very cat-like beagle, and a never-enough collection of plants.
During her free time (ha!), she gravitates toward climbing, floating, and enjoying all that living in Maine has to offer.

Through meditation and intention-setting in her themed classes, she strives to give students a space to work through internal challenges in an external way.
