Hi, I’m Jilian
I was raised to form myself to a system.
I got a doctorate. I joined the military.
…to contort my thinking and my body to the shape of an institution.
…to defer to authority, avoid responsibility, and execute the orders of others.
…to conform to my surroundings and dismiss parts of me that don’t fit.
I learned…
Luckily, that wasn’t all I learned.
Somatic awareness practices like the Alexander Technique showed me I have
more choices
more power
and more freedom
than I ever imagined.
