Jill Greene

Jill Greene

An OS Clinic at my church introduced me to Pressing RESET.  Awed by the simplicity, I gave it a try. My physical health greatly improved.

With a background in administration, customer service and event planning, joining the OS team has provided the opportunity to use those skills to truly help others.  Attention to detail is so important.  My desire is to provide our certification hosts everything they need for a successful OS Certification while making the process as simple as possible.  For our OS Certified Professionals, making the certification process efficient and seamless is my goal.  These professionals are the conduit through which the world learns how awesomely we’re made and how simple it is to Press RESET.  What a privilege to support professionals around the world helping people move better to live better!
