our instructors & therapists

Jen, an E-RYT 500+ hour yoga instructor, began practicing yoga as a means of self-care while raising three young children and fell in love with the practice. Jen’s education includes Ana Forrest’s Advanced Teacher Training, and continuing education with Seane Corn, Jason Crandell, and Baron Baptiste. Jen has been an instructor for more than 20 years and in that time, has developed an appreciation for teaching a slow and steady Vinyasa Flow, as well as Yin Yoga. Her style is warm and welcoming, skillful and supportive. Jen’s classes provide her students the opportunity for deeper integration of body, mind, breath, and spirit. 

Ali first turned to yoga in college for its physical benefits, but after graduating she found herself diving deeper into the practice as a way to unwind, find ease, and restore a sense of calm. After many years of personal practice, she completed her YTT in 2023 and received her pre/postnatal certification in 2024. She enjoys teaching vinyasa, offering fun and dynamic flow classes set to an energizing playlist.

Ruth Jones is from Alna and has been a Massage Therapist in private practice for 20 years. She is a lifelong sauna enthusiast, starting at 7 when her dad built their sauna that is still in use 30 years later. She has always wanted to venture into therapeutic spa experiences that are luxurious and healing, and coming to Waterstruck as a patron brought about this opportunity to share the magic of salt scrubs. She brings her deep attention and intuition to every session and delights in taking care of each individual.

Jamie Bifulco is a sound meditation practitioner, tapping practitioner, and professional trombonist based in Portland, Maine. She began her journey in the healing arts over 20 years ago while studying at the University of Maine at Orono, where she started teaching yoga as a student. After graduating, Jamie continued teaching yoga while building her career as a professional trombonist.

Over time, her teaching evolved to focus more deeply on practices that support nervous system regulation, including meditation and tapping techniques. This natural progression allowed Jamie to blend her two worlds—music and mindfulness—leading her to become a sound bowl practitioner.

Jamie’s sound bath experiences are often described as deeply relaxing and otherworldly. Her intention is to create a space where clients can fully unwind and reconnect, leaving each session feeling more uplifted, energized, and grounded than when they arrived.
