Jo’s journey into Pilates commenced 15 years ago, spurred by a quest to find a
complementary exercise regimen to balance her high-intensity sports and dance activities.
Pilates emerged as the perfect antidote, offering a harmonious blend of serenity and mental
focus while providing a solid foundation to fortify her core and elongate muscles post
vigorous workouts.
Her appreciation and understanding of Pilates deepened significantly when confronted with
adversity – enduring two back injuries and undergoing two knee surgeries for ACL and
Meniscus reconstruction due to her athletic pursuits. Through these challenges, Jo
experienced first-hand the transformative power of mindful movement practices. With each
precise movement, each intentional breath, she witnessed her body’s remarkable resilience
and transformation, gaining strength, improving posture, and forging a profound mind-body
connection.
For Jo, Pilates transcended mere physical exercise; it became a holistic practice that
nurtured both body and mind. The intricate interplay between mental focus and physical
movement highlighted the symbiotic relationship between mind and body.
Jo’s areas of expertise include knee injuries and post-operative rehabilitation, chronic back
pain and injury, hypermobility, and scoliosis. She believes in being flexible and adapting to
clients’ needs and goals.
