Hi, I’m Jess (she/they). I work as a yoga teacher and somatic movement facilitator, as well as an embodiment scholar and social researcher. Originally from Naarm (Melbourne), I’ve lived and worked on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar in Walyalup (Fremantle, Western Australia) for over a decade.
I believe yoga should be available to every-body. I’m committed to offering sessions that are affordable, practical, and accessible. As a queer and neurodivergent person who has often felt out of place in yoga spaces, I’m passionate about creating environments that feel genuinely welcoming and inclusive for all.
Over the years, I’ve taught yoga to people aged eight to 78 in a wide range of settings—from private 1:1 and small group sessions to larger studio classes, community spaces, adult prisons, and youth detention centres.
I hold a PhD in Media and Communication (with a focus on safety and embodiment) and a Research Master’s degree in Gender Studies. I’ve worked as an interdisciplinary academic for the past 15 years and am currently a Research Fellow in the School of Education at Edith Cowan University. My research spans education, gender studies, digital cultures, and criminology.
I currently offer private yoga sessions on Thursdays (availability) and Saturdays (fully booked). If you're interested in a one-off session or workshop at your studio, workplace, community group, or another setting, please feel free to get in touch. I have some ad-hoc availability and would love to talk about how I can bring yoga, embodiment, and somatics to you—either in-person (Fremantle/Perth) or online.
