She envisions further advocacy work through community education programmes. 

​


Personal Experience: 
Jillian is a survivor of an extremist religious cult and exploitative relationship arrangements. Jillian spent over a decade deconstructing the indoctrination that made her vulnerable to repeated unhealthy power dynamics and exploitative relationships, including 10+ years in AlAnon, therapy, and formal education. Jillian has dedicated the rest of her life to learning, studying, and deconstructing all of the factors that made her and so many other women vulnerable to exploitation and disempowerment. Jillian is currently studying elements of religious extremism and misogyny that have contributed to the persecution of women throughout the Middle Ages and beyond as she earns her graduate research degree at The University of Edinburgh. 

​


Jillian's Style:
Jillian's style is cerebral, straightforward, and intuitive. As an Atheopagan, Jillian comes from a secular perspective, with a high value for rituals, rites of passage, and spiritual connection with others. Jillian places emphasis on self-trust, consent, intuition, personal authority, discernment, and loyalty to personal values and standards. Women who have a history of high-demand relationships, fawning survival patterns, and insecure attachment struggles are an ideal fit for Jillian's consultation services, courses, ceremonies, and workshops.
