Jackie is an experienced pilates instructor who is comprehensively trained through the Balanced Body Pilates Certification Program. She’s been teaching pilates for 4 years and has extensive knowledge in a number of areas. Although she prefers to teach athletic style, she’s well versed in the classic teaching method and does rehabilitation for some of her current clients.

When she’s not teaching pilates private sessions or training private clients you’ll find her spending time with her 10 year old daughter, doing reformer pilates or hot kickboxing privates, swinging kettlebells, hiking or traveling. She’s known for her simple but incredibly effective movements that she incorporates in her flows.

A Pilates Collective focuses on physical well-being, injury rehabilitation, and strength training.

Tone and shape your body at our studio using our Cadillac reformers, kettlebells, and Pilates chairs.

A Pilates Collective is dedicated to supporting your path to health and wellness. Whether you want to jumpstart your pilates training with private sessions or join group reformer classes, sign up for one of our packages!

Incorporating competition kettlebells into your exercise routine can allow you to see improvements in mobility, agility, cardio, endurance, and strength. Many studies have been done and some of the recognized benefits of kettlebells have included core stability, cardiovascular health, body composition, strength, endurance and power. Kettlebells have also shown to compare favorably to brisk treadmill walking by doing swings at a continuous moderate pace. Kettlebells paired with pilates in my opinion is the perfect combo.

What our clients say About Us

I’ve been taking Pilates classes with Jackie for over a year now! I started Pilates after a lower back injury led me to artificial disc replacement surgery and not only do I feel completely confident and comfortable taking Jackie’s classes with my limitations, I know I will always come away with a great workout. Her extensive knowledge of Pilates and the human body puts any worry I may have at ease. Jackie takes great pride in challenging her clients on the daily and her bubbly and energetic personality helps the class speed by. Everyday I get to take a class with Jackie is a day I look forward to. I highly recommend this talented instructor!

I have always been someone that enjoyed a tough physical challenge, whether it be endurance running, weight lifting or HIIT workouts. I always thought of Pilates as something I would never do, as it seemed too slow paced for my intense workouts. Fast forward to my late 30’s and two back surgeries later. I was looking for alternatives to help heal my chronic back pain and restrengthen my body without compromising my spine. I decided to give Pilates Reformer a try and that is when I found Jackie. From day one, Jackie’s positive attitude and knowledgeable instruction has been nothing but exceptional.

Jackie is more than a Pilates instructor. She is mindful of overall fitness ability and will push you to the max while avoiding injury. She is constantly seeking new ways and techniques but super strong in the basics. I would have given up on Pilates long ago with a different instructor . Jackie has improved my overall strength and fitness level and continues to coach me to higher levels. Could not recommend her more strongly ! She is amazing
