“I’ve worked with Jacquie for over six years, doing both mat and reformer Pilates, and I highly recommend her. Every session is different - she mixes things up and challenges you in ways you didn’t even know were possible! I’m significantly stronger, have better balance, and a much better understanding of my body and posture. I can truly tell when I miss even one week of Pilates with Jacquie.”

“I have been doing pilates with Jacquie for over 10 years. When I describe it to others, I have to explain that it’s more than the pilates you might experience at a gym or other studios. Pilates with Jacquie is like physical, mental and emotional therapy for me! She supports me at coming into my body and feeling strong. I always walk out feeling more alive, uplifted and ready to face whatever life challenges I may be experiencing. This practice is truly one of my non-negotiable’s.”
