Jessica discovered Pilates after the birth of her second child in 2012. As a student she gained confidence in her body as she improved  awareness of her alignment. She values the efficient and empowering approach to movement, balance, and strength that pilates provides. After several years as a dedicated student Jessica was inspired to gain a deeper knowledge of Pilates. She began the Polestar Pilates comprehensive teacher training program in 2020. While the program was on pause during shelter in place she competed the Polestar Mat training course. She brings a valuable background as a postpartum nurse and mother.  As an RN, she was recognized for her unique  approach, empowering new mothers to have confidence in caring for both their newborns and their own bodies. Jessica is honored  and excited to combine her passion for specialized care with teaching Pilates. She offers a warm and gentle nature combined with a deep knowledge, compassion, patience and determination.
