Jessica is the owner and Director of CORE Movement Education, a teacher training company, in Atlanta, GA. She also owns two studios - CORE Ormewood Park and CORE Morningside, which host her teacher training programs in addition to providing Gyrotonic, Pilates, Redcord, Strength Training and Physical Therapy to their client. She discovered the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® in 2004 after studying Pilates for six years. She loved how it complemented her Pilates training and challenged her to take her work – both as practitioner and teacher – to a deeper level. She has completed certifications for Gyrotonic, GYROKINESIS®, and all of the specialized Gyrotonic equipment. She was certified in both systems by Juliu Horvath, the method's creator. Jessica is an Authorized Gyrotonic Pre-Trainer and a Master Trainer. Jessica believes that continuing education is essential for every instructor’s growth. She has taken hundreds of hours of continuing education courses around the country, spanning a spectrum of subjects that include working with post-rehab clients experiencing back and shoulder pain, refining her use of voice and touch, teaching pregnant and postpartum women, modifying exercises for those with osteoporosis, and challenging elite athletes. A passionate entrepreneur, Jessica directs operations at her studio while also teaching clients and trainees. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Allegheny College, she earned a B.A. in Political Science in 1997.
