About
Jessica is the owner and Director of CORE Movement Education in Atlanta and is Vice President for Performance Development at Activcore, Inc. 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. She holds a Master of Public Management degree from the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland at College Park. Jessica lives in Atlanta with her family.
