“Jessica’s classes have helped me with range of motion and posture. The changes were subtle at first, and then noticed how much taller I felt after each class. She has a lot of knowledge and is able to clearly explain things to me in a way I can grasp. She’s very patient and helps you understand what to think about as you are doing the movements.” - Chiara C.
