With consistent practice, you can

Jill Disser
I have struggled with anxious thoughts throughout my life. From a young age, I was in therapy, but I still didn’t find lasting relief from my worries and fears. Then, in May 2019, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer—a life-altering moment. Anxiety and fear became an overwhelming force in my life.
Let me explain how I discovered a way out of being controlled by anxiety. At the encouragement of a nurse navigator, I joined a meditation support group. This experience opened the door to mindfulness, which became a powerful tool in my healing and in managing the intense stress of my treatments.
Learning to train my mind to stay in the present moment and not be trapped in endless catastrophic thoughts helped calm my anxiety, improve my sleep, manage my pain, and bring a sense of balance and hope back into my life.
Inspired by my own transformation, I wanted to share the practices I learned that helped me heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.
This work is from my heart. I know the pain of anxiety, but I also know the way through - to be happier, more relaxed, and more optimistic about the future. Helping others find peace, just like I did, is what I’m meant to do.
My Vision is to create a world where no one feels alone and no one is ruled by the constant cycle of anxious thoughts, fears, or worries - where they can navigate life’s changes - where healing, peace, and clarity are within reach, even in life’s hardest moments.
My Mission is to support others through anxiety, fear, and life’s uncertainties with compassionate, innovative, practical, and effective solutions. By quieting racing thoughts, reconnecting to the present moment, and rediscovering inner calm, they will no longer have to walk their path alone.

"This group sets the tone for the whole day"
"I'm so glad I attended. This group is utterly amazing--they just swirl in light and love. I can see why the person who recommended me said it sets the tone for the whole day. Jill’s meditation has been a wonderful experience. With her gentle facilitation, I have grown to depend on a positive start to my day, loosening up nighttime stiffness, and feeling welcome in a loving community. My range of motion has improved, along with my mood. It’s comforting to wake up each morning knowing that a kind and welcoming group is waiting with genuine smiles to greet me."

"I look forward to our time together every day."
"I appreciate being in your meditation group. I enjoy your meditations and the group of women we have. I had never tried meditation before, so I was a little leery. I didn’t know what to expect, but it has surpassed my expectations. It has helped me with my mental well-being. I look forward to our time together every day. Thank you so much."

The Differences Between Meditation In Person And With An App
Over my many years of practicing and teaching meditation, I’ve noticed a dramatic difference between following an app and practicing with others in person. If you’ve been relying on an app, let me share something important: there really is no comparison.
You Can't Get Personalization From a Recording
An app delivers the same script to everyone. When we meet together, I can learn what you specifically want to focus on—whether it’s reducing anxiety, improving sleep, or finding clarity during life changes. Together, we shape your practice in a way that actually fits your goals.
Hearing What Isn’t Said - Between The Lines, So To Speak
Hand gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, tone of voice—these nonverbal cues communicate more than words alone. When I can see and hear you, I understand where you’re struggling or what has meaning for you, and I can adjust in real time. That kind of insight simply isn’t possible with an app.
Stepping Out of Daily Life
When you practice in person, you step out of your everyday environment—away from chores, to-do lists, ringing phones, or household distractions—and into a calm, safe space. This shift matters. It gives you room to relax, share openly, and experience meditation without being pulled back into anything that would normally distract you.
The Power of Human Connection
Person to person meditation, whether it be face to face or online, gives you space to connect—not just with me, but with others who are also on their particular journey. The conversations before and after, the shared energy in the room, the sense of belonging, deepens our practice in ways an app cannot replicate.
Community and Belonging
Meditation in person or online isn’t only about the practice itself; it's about community. Sitting with others creates a shared presence, a sense of “we’re in this together.” We are all vulnerable - and that's okay - it's okay. That feeling of belonging is grounding and healing all on its own.
Apps have their place. They’re accessible, convenient, and there are a lot of them; but, they can’t provide personalization, nonverbal communication, safe space, or the richness of human connection.
If you’ve been using an app and feel like something is missing, I invite you to experience meditation with me. It may surprise you how much deeper, calmer, and more supported you feel when you’re guided in real time, in a space designed for connection and peace.
You can try one of my groups or one of my live meditations. See if you can see, feel, and hear the difference.
You can also sign up for a one-on-one session with me as well.
