Jacqueline began practicing Pilates when she discovered that it was a great complement to her running routine and long-time interest in fitness and nutrition. Growing up in the beautiful coastal city of Encinitas, California, she has always led an active and healthy lifestyle; traveling the world, running marathons, practicing yoga, hiking mountains, and walking countless city miles.

When she moved to San Francisco, she found there was a large Pilates community and she began to deepen her Pilates knowledge and love. Soon, she sought out an in-depth authentic Pilates program and spent 700 + hours in a year-long intensive apprentice program. In 2014 she earned her teaching certification from world renown instructor, Dorothee VandeWalle and the Metropolitan Authentic Training Program.

Jacqueline teaches with enthusiasm and is an active supporter of those seeking healthy lifestyle changes. She credits Pilates with strengthening her body as well as her mind. “I’ve improved my posture, increased my flexibility and my whole body feels stronger. Pilates leaves me clear headed with the ability to focus on the daily things that lie in front of me. I love teaching a wide variety of students from beginners to advanced. Every single body requires unique guidance and that keeps it very exciting for me.
