"I first discovered Pilates several years ago in California as a great form of exercise given I have chronic back problems. After taking sessions from Jessi for the past year, I find her expertise and individualized approach truly amazing! I am in my early 50's and quite active, but Jessi knows exactly how to incorporate the right movements to stretch, tone and strengthen. My balance and core strength continue to improve, and as a result, I find I don't need to visit the chiropractor as often.

A session with Jessi is never the same two weeks in a row -- she can build on a particular exercise to really challenge the muscles, but also has a keen awareness to modify a movement to protect an area of weakness or injury.

Her style is warm and genuine, and she truly listens to what you want to accomplish and how your body is feeling that particular day. There is nothing that compares to a Pilates workout!"

"I started Pilates workouts with Jessi several months ago and have quickly become a convert to this type of training.  Jessi does an excellent job of adapting the workout to the client’s specific goals and situation.  The balanced strength gains that I’ve achieved, particularly much-improved core stability, make Pilates a great complement to my cycling, kayaking, and hiking.  The workouts are surprisingly intense but do not leave me stiff and sore the following day, the way that weight training often does. 
I’m amazed that Pilates is not more widely practiced both for sports cross-training and for general fitness!"  ---  Steve

"I'd pay the session fee just to spend time in the presence of Jessi's kind, grounded, compassionate energy. What a bonus that you get a fabulous Pilates workout in the process!"--Paige Gilchrist

"I'd heard about pilates being able to transform your body, but didn't really know what to expect. From day one, Jessi has been a great, intuitive instructor who worked with me to target key areas I wanted to work on and challenge me on the various apparatus. While I started pilates in fairly good shape, I've gained more definition throughout my body -- arms, back, abs and more! Many people ask me what I've been doing and that's a great compliment, but the important thing for me is that pilates has become part of my weekly routine. I can't imagine life without it and am so glad I found Jessi to introduce me to the pilates experience." -- Tamra Strentz

"I've studied with several instructors at this point, but Jessi's explanations were by far the best I've encountered, making it easier to grasp the subtleties of alignment and to isolate the correct muscles. She also taught me some of the best stretches I know.  Her Pilates class was the highlight of my week." --Anne

"Having taken Pilates for a few years already, Jessi was able to greatly expand my repertoire of exercises to keep my training fresh and interesting each session. The fact that she's a nice, personable gal helps the session go by much less painfully too!" --Shirley

"Jessi was my instructor through prenatal and postpartum Pilates. I gained less weight than with my prior pregnancy and I felt better with fewer aches and pains. I practically breathed my baby out on the third push! My abdominal/pelvic muscles were amazingly strong and in rhythm with my breathing. Jessi is full of life while being very supportive and responsive. She does't push too hard or let you fail, while always testing your ability to improve your workout. I always feel fabulous after doing Pilates. I think that I will be doing Pilates for the rest of my life and am grateful to Jessi for such a wonderful introduction!" --Krista

"Pilates allowed me to work my muscles in a comfortable and safe way. It made me feel like I had gotten a real workout and I always felt great after. No pain! I encourage all pregnant women to do pilates. Thank you for being such an amazing, gifted and caring instructor. THANK YOU!!!! --Kelly

"I lead an active life, but am not particularly gifted athletically. Pilates and Jessi's teaching mehods have been real gifts to me. With Pilates training, I've gained athletic ability by creating greater body awareness, expanding my range of motion and dramatically increasing my strength. Pilates has improved all aspects of my active lifestyle from helping me recover from a running injury to advancing my tennis game. Jessi's professional yet nuturing approach is certainly the reason why my Pilates training has worked as well as it has, and why I've stuck with it this long!"--Tara May

"After only a few sessions, I am walking straighter and feeling more comfortable in my body. Pilates helps me to feel strong and powerful both physically and emotionally. Jessi's style is supportive and encouraging, yet direct and to the point. You get results fast!" --- Elizabeth Barbour, life & business coach

"I'm walking taller and feeling stronger thanks to (my work with) Jessi."--Marla Chalnick, Ph.D., LPC

"Through Jessi, I've learned that Pilates, done correctly, is not only incredibly benficial to my body, but also feels great! I always say it's like a good massage! Jessi is wonderful at pinpointing those hard to define areas to make sure that my technique is right on track. I've been very pleased with the results I've seen, and love working with Jessi!" --Leslie Huntley

"I fell in love with Pilates after my first session with Jessi. As a hairstylist I am on my feet all day, and as a new mom with new mom lack of stomach muscle tone, I was suffering extreme back and foot pain by the end of every work day. With the correction to my posture that that very first session provided, I immediately noticed an increase in my ability to work all day without pain. It didn't hurt that people immediately begin to notice my "weight loss," which was really just standing up straight at the time. After working with Jessi for a couple of years now, and some changes to my diet, the baby weight is really gone and my body has been re-proportioned. I weigh the same as before I had my daughter, but my hips are narrower then they have ever been. Pretty cool". --Casey McCuller, Owner of Dang Salon

"Jessi really helped me get back into shape after the birth of my son. Her guidance and expertise taught me the proper exercises to regain my pre-birth shape and strengthen my stomach muscles. But the best part of doing Pilates with Jessi, was that it was fun! And after childbirth, I could use a good laugh!" -- Randi Beard
