Jeannie has been a Pilates Method Alliance® Certified Pilates Teacher since 2015, when she completed The Pilates Center's "Advanced Teacher Training Program" through InsideOut Body Therapies in Durham, NC. Jeannie keeps current with trends in Pilates instruction through continuing education courses, and recently completed courses such as Pilates Concepts on the Suspension Trainer and Barre Above with Pilates Focus.
Jeannie discovered Pilates when she was sent to Pilates-Based physical therapy, in hopes that it would help reduce the impacts of knee damage sustained after years of competitive running as a child and young adult. She became a believer in the healing and health benefits of Pilates as her pain decreased, and as she learned more about the Pilates goals of uniform musculoskeletal development and flexible and decompressed joints and spine.
Jeannie is passionate about helping clients in every age group and at every ability level to achieve a healthy, balanced, beautiful mind and body. She aspires to help prevent injuries in athletes, as well as in less-active individuals, and to help clients recover mobility after injury or surgery.
"The mind, when housed within a healthful body, possesses a glorious sense of power." ~ Joseph Pilates
