Jillian Vogtli
is a two time Olympian and a long time member
of the US Ski Team. She was raised in the
small ski town of Ellicottville, NY. Skiing
was always a passion and the Olympics a dream
of hers since the age of 11. After graduating
from College she moved to Park City, UT,
where she resides today. Just out of college
Jillian qualified for the US Ski Team. In
2002 she made her Olympic dream a reality
as she represented her country in the Salt
Lake City Olympic Games and again in the
2006 Torino, Italy Olympic Games. |
Throughout
her career Jillian has had several knee reconstructions,
as well as other various injuries. Par for
the course, many June say in the sport of
mogul skiing. However, she knew that there
was more to it. As a result, she sought out
alternative avenues for not only betterment
in sport, but also of self. She worked with
a Sports Psychologist and once she could
derive no more from that, she came upon Alberto
Villoldo, Phd books and then his school 'The
Four Winds Society.' Alberto's work is the
result of decades of study of the ancient
healing techniques medicine men and women
of South America. It has now been several
years of study for Jillian and she is now
a Shamanic practitioner and also a teacher
for The Four Winds. In addition, Jillian’s
other passion is jewelry design.
Her website
is www.jewelrybyjillian.com where you can
find some of her creations. Lastly, she is
back in school studying for her Doctorate
in Natural Health. It is her dream to one
day open her own practice to educate people
on overall wellness and disease prevention.
All this, and still in her sights is another
Olympic appearance to come... |

Why I Chose Indian
Nations For My Charity
I chose the Council of Indian Nations as my
charity as their culture has long been an interest
of mine. The destruction that has been done
the Natives of this land is devastating and
there teaching so crucial. Many of the reservations
are barren at best and most of the Native's
have to leave the reservation to make a living.
Poverty is all too common, and weighs most
heavily on those most fragile – especially
Elders and their multi-generational extended
families.
