Jen has been practicing Pilates for several years and is currently training to become a certified mat and reformer instructor. With over 30 years of experience in education—primarily focused on French language instruction and mentoring French teachers—she brings a deep passion for learning, connection, and personal growth to her Pilates journey.

Pilates has been a transformative force in her life, especially during a time of self-discovery and physical renewal. She is particularly passionate about supporting women through the transitions of midlife, helping them feel strong, confident, and positively connected to their bodies through mindful movement.

A key influence in her journey has been Dima, founder of Dima-Lates. Dima’s mentorship has helped her deepen both her practice and her confidence, while the supportive Dima-Lates community—described by many as feeling like family—continues to inspire her pursuit of inclusive and empowering instruction.

In addition to her training, Jen has been invited to join the Dima-Lates Academy as Educational Content Manager, where she contributes to the creation, editing, and ongoing improvement of the Pilates Teacher Training curriculum.
