ABOUT JAS
​​​
A recognized leader in the fields of inter-cultural communication, and community engagement Jas's work has been all about equity and fostering meaningful relations. Jas's inner journey has led her on a path to self discovery, yoga, energy healing and personal growth. Her strong connection to meditation and prayer has allowed her to face many challenges with grace. Yoga has helped bring balance and healing to her life. Kundalini yoga, in particular, has helped her re-connect with the core essence of who she is. Through this experience of bliss, light and love, her compassion has continued to blossom even deeper as did the willingness to change and grow.
​
Everyone has the ability to design and live a life full of peace and a joy. She has learned that the secret to happiness and fulfilling relations is already inside each of us, the key is simply to learn the skills and then apply them. Now she is sharing these important lessons with her clients. Her coaching sessions will take you deeper into your healing journey, facing head on issues that are holding you back from reaching your highest potential and you will come away with a renewed sense of trust and well being.
