Jess is a certified 500hr YTT Hatha & Kundalini instructor. She earned her first hatha training from Grounded By Yoga, Bloomfield, NY and earned her second Kundalini training from Yoga Farm, Ithaca, NY. She just finished her 300ytt through Atha Yoga and plans to hold her own 200hr YTT training at the studio starting January of 2027! She is also a Reiki Master and received her 3 Reiki Level Attunements from Carrie Macrillo of Radiant You Wellness.

Her Bachelor’s degree is in English/Literature and also received her paralegal certificate for her full time paralegal (day) job. She has spent several years working with the public and the community in her legal job and for the last 7 years has incorporated yoga into her personal and family life which both have allowed her to flourish as an instructor.

She has been teaching yoga since 2022. She is an avid animal lover (especially cats!) and donates monthly to several animal shelters both locally and internationally.

As the founder of Jula Transform, Jess provides an inclusive space for all forms of humans and energies, allowing all who come to her classes feel seen and respected no matter their limitations. All her classes offer modifications and options for the physical body, whether gentle to advanced.
