Meet our Founder

Hey there,

I’m Jess, and I’m excited to welcome you to Honor the Body Pilates, your new sanctuary for mindful movement.

My Pilates journey began after I experienced a back injury that paused my corporate career. I had a very sedentary lifestyle sitting hours in front of a computer and lacked complete body awareness.

Trying out Pilates was transformative—I strengthened my core, improved posture, found relief from back pain, and gained significant body confidence. As a STOTT Pilates Instructor trained in all apparatuses, my goal is to help you and our community build strength, increase flexibility, and enhance body awareness and confidence through group classes and private sessions.

Originally from Hacienda Heights, I’m a SoCal native who enjoys hiking local trails, experimenting with Korean fusion recipes, and hanging out with my poodle-mix pups, Hazel and Leo.

Join us for a class—I can’t wait to meet you and work out together!

With love,

Jess
