She went on to compete with the US National Team, representing the US in international competitions. This foundation in strength, precision, and grace continues to shape her teaching today.

After years of high-impact training and long-distance running, Jennifer turned to Pilates in her 30s as a way to recover and reconnect with the joy of movement. She has now practiced Pilates and Barre for more than 15 years, blending athleticism with artistry to help her clients build strength, awareness, and longevity through mindful movement.

She is comprehensively certified in Pilates and Barre through Balanced Body and has also completed Lotte Berk Barre Lineage training.

After discovering Pilates in 2021, it’s become more than just movement for me—it’s a way to build strength, balance, and confidence. I offer both fun and dynamic group classes as well as focused one-on-one sessions.

In group classes, I create an energizing and supportive atmosphere where everyone can enjoy moving together. For private sessions, I tailor the work to each client’s needs—whether you’re recovering from an injury, easing back into movement, or looking to build strength and stability.

My goal is to help you feel stronger, more connected to your body, and confident in your everyday life.
