Jess Fairclough

Jess Fairclough, RYT (she/they), is a trauma-informed yoga teacher, full-spectrum doula, Reiki Master, artist, and longtime believer in the power of community care. She began teaching yoga in 2017 and joined Sea Change Yoga in 2019.

Jess currently teaches at the Southern Maine Women’s Reentry Center, where her classes center choice, self-trust, connection, and coming home to the body. She is especially passionate about working alongside people impacted by incarceration, substance use, trauma, and systems that too often disconnect people from their own power.

Outside of Sea Change, Jess owns Portland Doula Company, where she provides birth, postpartum, abortion, and loss support. Her work is rooted in reproductive justice, harm reduction, body autonomy, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and fully human in their body.

When she isn’t teaching or doula-ing, you can usually find Jess making something, tending to an unreasonable number of plants, or heading toward the ocean.
