She gives us insight -- in theory and in practice -- into living a more balanced, connected life.

-her fitness and movement journey
-how parents and teachers can be "movement models" for children and can teach them to judge risks and know their limits

About Jessica:
Jessica -- BA Psychology, MS Kinesiology, PhD Neuroscience, NASM CPT, MovNat Certified Trainer -- began her journey into movement through academia, pursuing degrees in psychology, kinesiology, and neuroscience; with an emphasis on the effects of physical activity on the brain and human behavior. She has also been a runner for many years, having completed a handful of 5ks, a 10k, two half-marathons, and a marathon. After experiencing an injury during marathon training, she began exploring movement in the form of natural movement education through MovNat. She attended her first workshop in March 2017 and completed her Level II certification in March 2018. Training for MovNat allowed her to access the strength and capability she did not know she possessed. More importantly, it allowed her to explore movement just as her growing children were, from the ground up. She learned how to breathe again, she strengthened her core, she found a passion for BETTER movement. Currently, Jessica is working towards a certification in Pre- and Postnatal Coaching through Girls Gone Strong. She brings the totality of her education, training, and personal experience into every session and workshop. She not only believes that strength has no gender, she lives it every day.
