Jacqueline Toomey

Jacqueline Toomey currently lives with her firefighter husband and their rescue animals in beautiful Colorado. They live completely off the grid, in a high-altitude cabin that is 100 percent powered by solar and wind energy. Over a decade ago, Jacqueline became enveloped in the spirit of sharing the healing capacity of yoga and other forms of wellness with the world after her own healing from a serious injury. She teaches adaptive yoga and yoga nidra for individuals with SCIs and TBIs, and she founded an internationally taught educational program for firefighters and police known as the First Responder Sleep Recovery Program. She has taught over 2,000 first responders from coast to coast in the United States and in Canada, teaching them how to sleep better and recover mentally and physically from the challenges and trauma of working as first responders.

Jacqueline holds multiple Yoga Alliance certifications. She has her BA from Regis University, completed masters-level coursework in Education at Metropolitan State University and believes plant-based nutrition is a form of therapy.
