I enjoy the critical thinking involved in helping others understand and connect with their own movement practice. I found a profound calling in teaching because it allows me to connect with people and guide them in developing an awareness of how their bodies function in a safe and efficient manner. I also enjoy challenging and encouraging people to reach their optimal potential. In addition to being a pilates teacher, Jen is a dedicated mother, a creative photo app enthusiast and professional chocolate eater. Jen is grateful for her mentors Ted Grand, Jessica Robertson, Don Christensen, Marla Menakshi Joy, Todd Norian, Ann Greene, Moira Canes, Dr. Heidi Walk, Kathy Ryndak, Amanda Tripp and Margot McKinnon.
