About Jenny

I was an active teen, but I always had back pain. I tried chiropractic care as a kid and then in college, I did physical therapy. As an adult and mom, I tried yoga and then cranial sacral therapy. Nothing relieved my back pain and I felt like I was battling with my body. One day I ended up home alone and stuck laying on the floor for 2 hours in horrible low back pain until someone could help me get up.  My doctor suggested I try Pilates. Pilates strengthened my core and gave me the full-body strength, length, and the beautiful posture I wanted and needed. Finally, I was living a life without constant back pain. I realized even though Pilates was hard work, I felt peaceful doing it. I craved the mind-body connection just as much as I loved the physical workout. That love turned into a career and now I’m a Pilates instructor in my own home studio. The Pilates exercises didn’t come naturally, which makes me the perfect person to teach clients my ways. I break down the movments into practical and relevant concepts that people can immediately apply in the real world. I consider myself very lucky as I get to help others with low back pain or other types of physical struggles, move their body, just like someone helped me. My clients leave my studio with mind-body awareness and a stronger, more flexible, and balanced body.

I am a Balanced Body Certified Pilates Instructor.  I studied under internationally recognized and master instructor, Tom McCook, at Center of Balance in Mountain View, California.  I've been practicing pilates for 9 years and enjoy taking continuing education courses. Pilates has changed my body and my life. I move with strength, ease, and efficiency and I love the way Pilates makes me feel connected to my body. When I'm not practicing pilates or teaching it, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, hiking, playing at the lake, and snuggling with my two French Bulldogs.
