“Our wellbeing is collective. While we are each uniquely impacted by our personal and intergenerational trauma, our return to compassion and the recognition of our wholeness and humanity unfolds when we are held in community.” – Dr. Jackie Ang.
Dr. Jackie Ang is a medical doctor turned group psychotherapist, wellness educator, yoga and meditation instructor. 
Her life’s path has been driven by a single question: how do we heal humanity? She holds a medical degree from Queen’s University, certifications in Spiritual Healing and Energy Medicine from the College of International Holistic Studies and over 20 years of study and practice in vajrayana buddhism, vedanta and contemporary mindfulness. Her inquiry on wholeness ultimately crystallized in the field of trauma-informed somatics, sensorimotor psychotherapy, tantra and yoga nidra, where the technology of ancient and modern science meet. 
She weaves these threads together in multiple roles: as a group psychotherapist, combining mindfulness meditation, nervous system regulation, somatics, buddhist psychology and radical self-inquiry for the treatment of mental health and stress related disease; as an educator, co-directing Restorative Rhythms + serving on faculty of several 200/300 hour YTTs and as sacred space-holder, facilitating retreats, workshops and immersive experiences for collective awakening and healing. 

At 75, Jane has been immersed in the inquiry and practice of embodied consciousness for 50 years. Her journey began in the 70’s after a graduate program in the Psychology of Women and Media led her to a yogic ashram experience where she received Shaktipat initiation. That transformational shift has informed her life and mission/vision ever since. She began to offer teacher trainings at Nosara Yoga Institute in 2012 and considers this opportunity to be the foundation of her current passion -Restorative Rhythms. In all of its forms, including a 200 hour restorative journey through the internal healing arts with co-director Rae Helsel of therestmovement.com. This inquiry, Restorative Rhythms, is the culmination of Jane’s life work and constant study – stay tuned for the next iterations starting in 2024. 
Jane’s medicine is exploring the ebb and flow, remembering you are the sky and everything else is just the weather… through Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Mindfulness Meditation. She is constantly receiving new insights, and sharing them spontaneously and intuitively with her students and friends. Her lifelong study and practice of evolutionary astrology is also in the mix. 
Jane founded Inwardbound.com in the mid 90’s offering high end global nature infused yoga retreat vacations around the world. She was a pioneer in this genre and considers this foundation to her capacity to connect with, inspire and be inspired by diversity and held by nature. And, the unfoldinging awareness 
and interdependence we all need to meet today’s challenging global circumstances aligning power and grace from within with compassion and courage. These are aspects of our essential nature, available when we take time to recover our resilience and literally reset our delicate and profound nervous systems. Jane’s dharma is to inspire wisdom, hold space, support connection, and continue learning on the path of the Heart, The Wise Heart.
