Jess is an experienced Pilates teacher, physiotherapist and exercise physiologist. Growing up playing high levels of basketball and netball Jess found a passion for Pilates to supplement her training at a young age. After years of travelling, studying and working in research she has returned to Wanaka with her young family. Jess studied to be a Pilates teacher in 2015 and combined with a strong exercise background as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist worked in Brisbane until returning home to Wanaka. She believes having a Masters in Physiotherapy also influences her Pilates practice, teaching the fundamental principles of Pilates, and how it can be applied to all injuries, levels of fitness and stages of recovery. Jess is passionate about how the body works, exercise as rehabilitation, safe pre/post natal exercise and helping people to find movement they love.
