Heather Jackson

I also have 2 years of experiencing co-leading a trauma-informed yoga group at a RI agency with people of all ages. I utilize yoga with my clients all of ages in their healing and treatment. I have taken part 1 of a trauma-informed yoga training, as well as a Kid's Yoga training, and Yin Yoga training. I am also a counselor and licensed in Rhode Island, New York, and Vermont (RI #MHC01033, NY #012682, VT# 068.0135547, VA #0701014363, MA #LMHC10003191). I am doing telehealth in those 5 states at the moment. I tend to utilize a biopsychosocial perspective of mental health and yoga. Movement, sleeping, eating enough, rest, liberation, creativity, routine, & socializing can improve mental health and our bodies. I am very supportive of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and identify as queer. I was a former teen mother, single mother, and have been on public assistance/welfare for most of my adult life. I have done a lot of work around my own privilege and oppression including race, ethnicity, ability/disability, class, heterosexism, cisgenderism, immigration status, and more.
