Meet Jennifer.

I'm a STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor (Level 1 Mat and Reformer), teaching private and duet reformer sessions at Pacific Northwest Pilates in Portland.

I first came to Pilates more than 20 years ago, when long hours at a desk left me looking for a way to ease pain and stiffness and feel stronger in my body. What began as a practical way to stay healthy became much more personal after my experiences with chronic illness and my recovery from a stroke in 2020. Pilates helped me rebuild confidence, reconnect with my body, and discover the steady progress that comes from moving with care and consistency.

How I teach

That experience shapes how I teach. I bring the same care and attention I developed as a corporate attorney, along with a genuine desire to help people feel comfortable, capable, and supported in their own bodies. I listen closely, notice the small details, and offer thoughtful guidance whether you're new to Pilates, returning to movement, building strength, or continuing to grow in your practice.

I hope every client leaves feeling encouraged, a little more connected to themselves, and reminded that strength can be built one thoughtful movement at a time.
