Jen's dedication to clients and to Pilates makes it a joy to work hard! Her new studio is calm & welcoming. The depth of her understanding of Pilates is translated into beautifully constructed classes. As a private student, the delight she shows in my progress continues to inspire me to keep reaching towards the next level.
Pros: inviting environment, calm, focused classes, upbeat

Jen is an expert Pilates instructor who has helped me stop lower-back
pain through Pilates exercises to
strengthen core muscles and increase flexibility. Trained by Joseph
Pilates' disciple, Jen has the skills of a top Pilates
instructor. But equally important she is a natural teacher, aware at
every moment about how your body is reacting to the exercises. She knows
how far to push, and she keeps slowly making things more challenging so
that before you know it you can do even the most impossible-looking
exercises. When I came to her I was becoming a hunchback, my neck stuck out from my torso, I had back pain and waddled from carrying 20 pounds
that dieting and Pilates helped me get rid of. Now I stand straight,
walk normally and at 53 have the flexibility I haven't had in 20 years.
Jen's studio is as warm and welcoming as she is.
