Jenifer started practicing Pilates 28 years ago when she suffered from an injury from her performing days. She became motivated to learn and apply the Pilates principles to her own body and as the pain disappeared she became hooked and dependent upon the practice and application of the Pilates principles. She corrected her own imbalances and instabilities and found results without pain. She continues today to live a very active lifestyle free of pain still biking, swimming, running, enjoying daily CrossFit classes and of course her 3-4 mandatory pilates sessions each week.

It has become her passion to help others live in balance with proper alignment, strength, flexibility and harmony within their body while achieving their goals. Jenifer promotes Pilates strongly to any athlete striving for the next level of performance enhancement and injury prevention. She encourages mature clients with osteoporosis, degenerative joint and disc disorders or post operative conditions to practice Pilates as it can safely assist in rehabilitation and prevent further degeneration for these conditions. Jenifer believes that above all Pilates conditioning will ensure the strength and flexibility of the spine, keeping individuals of all ages active and pain free.
