Jillian is a Canadian born adventure photographer, turned athlete, now PTSD advocate and educator. After finding herself homeless and diagnosed with PTSD, she learned through losing everything, she could overcome anything. Shifting her mindset and her PTSD to Perseverance- Trust- Strength- Determination. Now sharing the tools, she utilizes to heal with our youth, first responders and veterans as Lead Guide and CEO of Camp My Way teaching how we can heal within nature, through fitness, goal setting, but most importantly through a positive outlook. Jillian is particularly known for her niche of integrating her deeply influential imagery and storytelling in powerful presentations, offering healing and connection to others. Pushing herself both physically and mentally, she knowns no boundaries when it comes to living a life of passion. This has led her to achieve a world first of paddling a tandem sea kayak down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and becoming the first Canadian to paddle across America. An over 6500 km journey in 150 days, covering 16 states with 23 portages including one 675km long over the continental divide, on a broken foot. Most recently, as the world was locked down, Jillian and partner, Camp My Way founder Terrance Kosikar took their 400 lb tire, shackled themselves in 60lbs of chain and flipped that tire for 75 days up 2 mountains to bring awareness and education around PTSD.
