Our industry may mention self-care but offers no realistic solutions for lasting prevention and relief. The demands on you are not sustainable. You need to do something

It's Time to Give Back to Yourself.
Interpreters often face a vicious cycle of pain and expensive treatments, yet true relief lies in daily habits, routines, and practices that build resilience and provide tools for sustainable well-being.
Short-term solutions are temporary to resolve. all the challenges you face every day.
I understand this firsthand, that is why I'm dedicated to helping interpreters avoid the fear of career-stopping pain and stress and feel strong, resilient and have peace of mind.
You can establish a sustainable career, avoid burnout and be unstoppable.
A Holistic Approach for Your Complete Self
Not all yoga is the same and not all styles are beneficial for our interpreter bodies. I learned this the hard way when I tore my rotator cuff in an attempt to keep up in class that did not have instruction.
.
Through years of personal experience and study, I've learned how to practice and teach for interpreters' needs so that we can gain the same benefits of strength, flexibility and peace of mind.
The sister science Ayurveda, a preventative approach to health, offers ancient wisdom that helps an interpreter establish easy, daily routines to reduce stress, sleep better and have a focused mind.

"I had never done yoga, but was suffering from multiple migraines per a week. Even though we did this online, she was able to see what needed to be addressed. It was incredible.
At first, I was not even able to lay on my back and "let go" because I would have so many muscle spasms. My muscles were so tied up in a ball that I just couldn't relax causing the migraines.
After weeks of one-on-one, I was not only able to relax those muscles, I was learning to stretch them in a correct way that began to release the knots. Since then, I only experience about 1-2 migraines a month and the rest of my body feels so much better!" -

Hi, I'm Jen
I’ve been an interpreter for nearly 30 years, and I’ve experienced my share of repetitive strain, aches, and pains.
For over 20 years, I’ve been teaching yoga and hold a Level 3 certification in Iyengar Yoga. I’m also certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists, with thousands of hours of study and practice. Additionally, I’m a Level 1 certified Ayurveda Health Coach and a certified facilitator in PSCPI.
Now, I’m bringing this wealth of experience and knowledge directly to my interpreter community, helping you feel great in your body and build a sustainable career. Don't just survive when you can thrive!
I want to share practices that empower you to take control of your body and life.
I'm excited to launch Connect and Align so more interpreters can get the transformation and support they deserve.
