"Jennifer did a wonderful job of working with my particular physical challenges. She understood how the Pilates movements worked with my own unique challenges and was able to teach me so I could get the most out of the workout. In addition to being very knowledgeable, she's very patient, upbeat, and encouraging. The studio is wonderful with a lovely view of nature so your spirit gets soothed while your body works!"

"I started Pilates with Jennifer after realizing I needed more guidance when it came to stretching, doing yoga, or any excercise, as I kept injuring myself. After working with Jennifer in private reformer classes for several weeks I am able to move forward with my goals for stretching and strengthening without the fear of re-injury. Jennifer offers amazing oversight of the pilates routine, helping you to do the movements correctly, with good allignment and posture. Pilates involves strengthening your core muscles which has helped my back, hip and neck pain tremendously and I feel like I can move my body more freely in general and with better allignment. I could not more highly recommend Jennifer as a Pilates Instructor, because she is such a knowledgeable, skilled, and conscientious educator. With each successive class, I am gaining insight and learning new things. Jennifer is amazing."

"I am a 60-year old woman who is totally blind. After a barriatric weight loss procedure, I was determined to learn to exercise and tone my newly emerging body with common sense and safety. I had heard much about the Pilates method, but knew technically very little. I located Jennifer Hansen via the web, sent her an email explaining my situation and asked her if she would be interested in working with me. Jennifer and I have been working together since May, 2010. As a student who is blind, I deeply appreciate how easily she describes new moves and positions and when necessary, shows me with my hands watching her just what she wants me to do. However, everybody, blind or sighted, will appreciate the continuous encouragement she provides both during class and via email. Jennifer is deeply respectful of one's personal limits, while still able to encourage her students to reach for the next new level. She has inspired me to work at home as well, and for that I am delighted. If you are seeking somebody who will work you to your own personal maximum, who has a friendly demeanor while understanding the need to help you attain new goals, stop searching; Jennifer is your woman. Her studio is comfortable and welcoming as well. Check her out for sure!"
