I’m Jess from Performance Pilates. Welcome to my website. If you are after professional, thorough and considered instruction, I’d love to help you. Online or Face to face – an extraordinary array of benefits await you! Here’s a little bit about me.
We are often told that the fastest route to success is to work harder – bigger weights, more resistance, higher repetitions. In my experience, this is not always correct. We need to be more thoughtful. I strive to identify ways to make body strengthening accessible, safe and loads of fun. Since discovering Pilates almost 20 years ago, I have continuously strived to identify and create new and effective methods to enhance body awareness and strength. This obsession has become my single biggest passion and my mission is to share this passion with all of my clients to enable them to become stronger and more body aware – and have some fun in the process!
I started Performance Pilates in 2009, after completing my Pilates accreditation in Sydney. This followed an extensive period as a qualified rowing coach, where I achieved State and National title wins with my athletes. I was previously an elite level rower, winning multiple state and national titles, ultimately representing Australia at the U23 World Championships. It was injury that prevented me from continuing with rowing, which is when I discovered the brilliance of Pilates as not only a tool for rehabilitation but for comprehensive strengthening and creating critically important body awareness.

In addition to rowing, I was also a competitive cyclist (winning silver and bronze medals in state criterium and road race titles respectively) and have maintained a keen interest in equine pursuits from the age of seven to this day. I have a wealth of experience in dealing with a range of injuries and pathologies and can accommodate a vast range of clients as a result. More than anything else, I absolutely love witnessing the tangible results that Pilates can deliver to everyone.
In addition to attaining a Diploma of Professional Pilates Instruction, I have completed a BA (Hons) from the University of Melbourne and have presented at Equitana Australia to large live audiences. I am also a regular contributor to Australia’s most popular equestrian magazine, Horse Deals.
I would be delighted to have you accompany me on your Pilates journey.
