Pilates offers a unique space for self-reflection and embodied awareness. I believe that wellness is both a physical and imaginative pursuit. In the words of Ursula Le Guin, “Truth is a matter of imagination.” I invite you to join me in playing with our resilience, finding new pathways and patterns, and connecting with the possibilities within ourselves.

I have worked with students of all levels, and have experience working with people with osteoporosis, scoliosis, chronic neck and back pain, fibromyalgia, and spinal stenosis. In addition to my work with pilates, I have a certification to teach Pre- and Post-Natal movement.

If you're interested in movement and activated by curiosity, these classes are for you! I have fun teaching and I love to do it. My experiences as a dancer and practitioner fold directly into my pilates work and I remain dedicated to using imagery that supports body-positivity, and I work to dismantle the capitalist and white-supremacist culture embedded in the language I have inherited in my relationship to body work. The work is constant and daily, and keeping abolitionist and anti-racist work close to movement practices continues to grow me as a human.

2025-26 Pilates classes and online videos coming soon!

“Jessie is a fantastic teacher. I have studied with her for years through all kinds of health crisis and she can meet her students at any level or stage of life. Classes are easy-going but very beneficial. I highly recommend working with her.”  —Sarah S.

“I have worked with Jesse for three years in weekly individual sessions.  In that time, I have benefitted from her careful attention to the details of how I execute each exercise.  She is an impressive observer, and responds to what she sees with modifications for what I am doing.  She also thinks about what i need between sessions, and comes to the next one with a plan for enhancing my strength and flexibility.  All this is based on her extensive training and professional experience.” —Murray K. 

“Jessie is a powerful and empathetic Pilates instructor.  Whether we are working together in person or virtually, she always makes me feel cared for and keeps in mind my long term goals while also addressing how my body is feeling that day.  I so look forward to our sessions together and walk away feeling stronger, elongated, powerful and peaceful. “ —Lesley N. 

“I’ve been practicing Pilates for more than 20 years and Jessie is a very unique teacher in her appreciation of classic Pilates combine with modern movement.  She’s an absolute joy to work with as she meets each student where they are in their own practice and creates both challenging and fun whole body workouts in private and class sessions.  Working with Jessie has become an essential part of my fitness regimen.”
