About Your Teacher

Jade's journey into yoga began in 2004. She began attending yoga classes locally and started to experience positive life changes. Eventually, she decided to attend the WHY Power Yoga 200HR Teacher Training in 2011 as well as 2014. This training combined the practices of Ana Forrest Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and Yin Yoga. 

​

Jade’s journey with reiki also began in 2004. She was attuned through the different levels of reiki, including the mastery level, in the traditional Mikao Usui spiritual healing method. Jade has since trained and attuned many students into this method of energy work and continues to offer reiki training locally and virtually. 

​

Yoga and reiki can be deeply healing practices. Jade combines her knowledge and experience of both to offer transformational yoga classes, services, and workshops. 

​

In 2022, Jade started the eco-friendly bath & body company, Verthandi Botanical, where she handcrafts 100% Non-Toxic Natural Botanical products that feel, look and smell amazing. Everything she creates is designed with self-care at its core, an escape from the stresses of the world and a moment to be kind to yourself.
