Jill T.

With a Master's degree in Business Leadership and a lifelong passion for education, Jill brings both professional expertise and heartfelt dedication to the subjects of Massage Business, Marketing, Communications, Legal & Ethical Practices to provide future therapists with the real-world skills they need to build sustainable, soul-driven careers.

Her initial journey began in South East Iowa, where she graduated from High School. After earning her Associate of Arts degree, she pursued a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. Her drive for perfection and the desire to advance plus, inspire growth in others, led her to complete a Master's in Business Leadership.

Massage therapy entered Jill's life as both a calling and a culmination—merging her gifts for communication, intuition, and care into a practice that felt aligned, holistic, and meaningful. She successfully built her own massage business rooted in wellness, integrity, and connection. Today, she blends her hands-on experience as a practitioner with her academic background to help students navigate not just the how but the why of a career in healing work.

The belief, that life isn't about safety, but never-ending learning and growth, is reflected in her strategic long-term goals, plans, and vision for her own life, career, and business. Her fierce love and compassion for others calls her to help them ignite that same joy and appreciation for life as well.

Jill understands that every person we meet shapes us—and that education is one of the most powerful ways to inspire transformation. She loves to encourage students to trust themselves, honor their unique voices, and build careers that reflect their values.

Teaching at Body Wisdom is a full-circle moment for Jill. The school that once nurtured her, now benefits from her leadership, insight, and warmth. "Body Wisdom is more than a school—it's a family," she says. "I'm proud to be part of its legacy of mindful, heart-led education."

Outside her professional activities, you'll find Jill hiking, kayaking, riding her motorcycle, cooking up creations sourced from her garden, or enjoying the stillness of nature with her loved ones. She lives by the philosophy that life should be lived fully—and she brings that same enthusiasm and intentionality to every aspect of her journey.
