Pre & Postnatal Personal Training
Hi, I'm Jess
I’ve worked in fitness since 2009, always with the goal of making movement feel approachable and sustainable.
My path has been a bit of a zigzag but always based in movement. I started in dance. Then found my way into personal training and yoga. I built a lovely online class community and continue to mentor new teachers and trainers. Along the way I earned a master’s degree in applied exercise physiology and picked up quite a few certifications (peek them here).
But pregnancy was a true turning point for me, personally and professionally.
Like many new
moms, I found all
the changes wild.
The late-night
googling relentless.
And had plenty of
WTF moments.
That experience gave me a deeper appreciation for kind of physical and emotional support women need during this time. And studying perinatal exercise made me realize how much I love working with this community.
After a long career working with a huge range of clientele, I felt pulled to focus in on pre & postnatal work.
Now I exclusively help women prepare for, and recover from this moment. And connect to their strength as they take on motherhood. I offer training that’s intelligent, adaptable, and grounding, so you feel confident and resilient in every stage.
What past clients have said:
Olga E., Private Client
"Jess is truly one-of-a-kind. She helped me not only start healing my diastasis recti, but also reconnect with that part of my body in a way I hadn't experienced before. Her approach to pre- and postnatal training is so thoughtful and personalized. She really understands what your body's been through because she's been there herself. Jess breaks things down in a way that finally made the breathing and core engagement click for me after so many videos and instructors hadn't. She's kind, patient, motivating, and just a joy to work with. I can't recommend her enough!!"
Josefine N., Private Client
