On Friday, October 25th, I’m teaching a mat Pilates class to support Teasers for Tatas. TFT is a 501(c)3 organization whose mission it is to organize Pilates classes across the country to help attendees strengthen their own bodies, while raising money to help patients, previvors, and survivors strengthen theirs.

Proceeds from the Teasers for Tatas annual event are donated to hospitals and organizations that provide supportive services such as massage therapy, nutrition counseling, support groups, meditation, yoga and (of course) Pilates.

I would love for you to join me at in Westport at 1pm on October 25th. DM or email me to RSVP.

How a Pilates instructor spends her days off. I’m asked often how much Pilates I do - in the summer, not that much. I love Pilates but prefer to spend my free time outside the studio - especially in the mountains. I’m always up for a challenge.

Our Story

Jessica has been a certified Pilates instructor since 2011. She always been active, dabbling in everything from tennis and ice hockey to kickboxing, yoga, and paddleboarding. She has practiced Pilates for the past 11 years, and her interest was heightened when she sought to regain her core strength after childbirth. In addition to recapturing her pre-baby body, Jessica saw how Pilates improved her posture, alleviated low back pain, and even improved her skiing. A former urban planner, Jessica sought a new career that would allow her leave corporate work behind and teach others to improve their bodies.

Jessica graduated Haverford College with a B.A. in Political Science, and she also holds a Masters in Public Administration from New York University’s Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service. Jessica received her Pilates certification from Core Pilates NYC upon graduating from a six-month intensive training program in mat and apparatus-based Classical Pilates. She completed 400 hours of apprenticeship and observation in the training program and also received her CPR certification. She has taught clients at both Equinox and Reebok Sports Club NY.
