Jill received her Master’s Degree in Counseling and Educational Psychology from Slippery Rock University in 1991. Her initial experience has grounded her in traditional therapy approaches, however, as she continued to explore her own personal growth process, she expanded her work with her clients to incorporate transpersonal and spiritual aspects. Her own personal growth journey included training under David Oldfield at The Midway Center for Creative Imagination in Washington DC. She also began exploring the power of a meditative practice in 1998 that evolved into advanced training in NLP/hypnotherapy. In 2006 Jill’s own personal growth journey took another quantum leap in discovering MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) and MARI Creative Resources, Inc. She has been a Certified Practitioner and Teacher of MARI for over 20 years and is the President and Coordinator of this international know tool. Most all her clients enjoy the insight and healing they receive from doing their own personal MARI experience.
