Jessica was first exposed to Pilates in 2005. Having been an accomplished swimmer and triathlete, she struggled with low back pain and shoulder injuries for several years. Pilates was recommended to her by her physical therapist as a way to maintain her body, protect herself from future injuries, and build core strength. While preparing to compete at the ITU World Championships for triathlon, Jessica added Pilates to her workout routine and fell in love. The rehabilitative work combined with the mental focus her Pilates workouts provided inspired her to become an instructor and teach this amazing form of movement to others.
In addition to her athletics, Pilates also fit in well with Jessica's personal interest concerning the mind and body connection. After graduating in 2006 from Seattle University with an honors degree in Psychology, Jessica immediately began her Pilates instructor education and has continued learning ever since.
