My Story

Welcome to SoulGood Pilates!

My name is Jen and my passion is Pilates.

I discovered this amazing system of exercise when I was a Certified Personal Trainer. I was looking for Something More, a way to bring meaning to my clients' lives.
Pilates is definitely Something More!
Pilates truly connects body, mind and spirit, an experience that no other form of exercise can replicate.

In 2012 I was involved in a car accident and I sustained a minor concussion.
Because of the injury to my brain, in the short-term I was unable to return to the active lifestyle I was accustomed to.
Prior to the accident I was a runner and had been training for a half marathon, but afterwards I couldn't even take a walk around the block without needing a nap. Running made me physically ill and even working with clients was exhausting.
I was very weak. And very discouraged.
My identity had been wrapped up in running and weight training and that was taken from me, even if just temporarily. I had to figure out who I was without those things. For a very long time I had been training my body, but neglecting my mind and my spirit.

I had always been drawn to Pilates, so I started working one-on-one with a Certified Pilates Instructor. Through her expert instruction, patience and kindness I grew a little stronger every week.
I was quite literally healing my body, mind and spirit.

Pilates returned me to life. After just two months of twice-weekly Pilates lessons I was able to resume running and I completed the half marathon. I also made some long-overdue changes in my personal life. Pilates helped me open my mind and spirit to possibilities I hadn't considered before and I was in love with it!

I enrolled in and graduated from The Pilates Center of Boulder Colorado's Advanced Teacher Training Program. The program, a 950-hour curriculum, changed my life and taught me how to help my clients change theirs.
There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone realize the true potential in their body. And I get to do it every day!
