about

Hi there! I'm Jean and my journey with Pilates started in the late 90s. I was working as a personal trainer and competing in Fitness America Pageant Competitions,  bodybuilding, kickboxing and gymnastics. The high intensity training took a toll on my joints and spine. I developed chronic low back pain and an SI Joint injury. This led me to try Pilates, and I realized Pilates was the exercise my body was missing. I began my  professional Pilates training with Stott Pilates in 1999 and expanded my Pilates expertise by completing a comprehensive Pilates Certification through Polestar Pilates, and Personal Training expertise by completing advanced training with the National Academy of Sports Medicine in Senior Fitness, Corrective Exercise, and Flexibility and Stretching.  My philosophy is deep routed in my own experiences, and I've dedicated over 20 years to helping people move better, exercise pain free and improve their quality of life.  My mission has aligned with Joseph Pilates, and that is to bring Pilates to everybody and "physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness".   If you are dealing with low back pain or you are coming back from an injury, I understand where you're coming from. I give new clients a free, 15 minute phone consultation, and can answer your questions by phone, or we can meet in person at the studio.  Give me a call, or fill out the Contact Form and request a free phone consultation. Or, I can meet with you in person at the studio!
