OUR GIRLIES
Founder & Reformer Pilates Instructor
Jacqueline, BSC, BSN, RN
Jacqueline’s approach to Pilates is rooted in care, intention, and a deep respect for the body. Before opening Pilates By Jacqueline, she worked as a registered nurse in Labor & Delivery and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She currently works with autistic children, including those with feeding challenges. Jacqueline also attended veterinary school for three years, which deepened her lifelong love for the voiceless and shaped the empathy and compassion she brings into every space she’s part of.
Jacqueline fell in love with Pilates in 2020 during COVID, when movement became both grounding and transformative for her. After trying several studios, she realized she was drawn to classes that truly worked—the ones where you felt strong, challenged, and accomplished when you walked out the door. That feeling became the foundation of Pilates By Jacqueline.
