Jess M.
Instructor
I took my first Pilates class in 2021 and instantly fell in love. I had always been active with surfing, hiking, sailing, and rock climbing, but had fallen into a bit of a funk and became disconnected from my body. Pilates helped me reconnect with my physical self, regain confidence, and become active again. I'm not kidding when I say Pilates changed my life! I knew that I wanted to start helping others feel this same way. Having worked in education for the past 20 years, making the decision to become a Pilates instructor was a natural progression and extension of my knowledge, skills, and career goals. In Southern California I was an outdoor educator on tall ships. I moved to Oregon where I worked as a preschool teacher and returned to college to become a high school teacher. I currently teach Special Education at an alternative high school. I am beyond excited to assist others in finding joy and forming deeper connections within themselves through their Pilates practice. I look forward to seeing you in class!
