Jessica Merwin is a Coherence Coach®. She teaches the ancient technologies of Kundalini Yoga and the new science of HeartMath® Heart Coherence to bring the body into a state of harmony (or coherence).
When we are in a state of coherence we can operate from the place of our fullest potential. We can think clearly, make better decisions, and access our intuitive intelligence. Not only does coherence change our state of being, it also has a positive effect on our physiology.
Jessica offers clear and specific practices delivered in approachable ways with scientific data reflecting much of the effectiveness of the techniques.
Jessica is a War Veteran who served in the United States Air Force. After she battled with emotional stress, addictions and depression for a number of years, she woke up to another way of living. She discovered Kundalini yoga, heart coherence, and meditation and felt the profound shifts it had on her internal state. She went from living in a state of stress to a state of inspired living. It made such an impact on her that she knew she had to teach and share the wisdom that has been passed down for eons through the yogis, and now the new sciences to back it up.
Jessica has over 500 hours in Kundalini Yoga Teacher training – training received in Greece and India, and holds a 200 hour RYT with Yoga Alliance. Additionally she is Certified through HeartMath as a Mentor & Coach, and is the owner of New Moon Yoga studio in Traverse City, Michigan.
