Instructor Trainer bios

Jackie has always been involved in sports, fitness and physical health, which led her to a Physical Therapy degree from Université de Montréal in 1993 and she continues to add post-graduate courses to help improve her practice. In 2005, she tried a STOTT PILATES^® Mat course and saw the potential of incorporating it for her patients to help restore function and ability. She started using her anatomy background along with her new skills in Pilates and saw great results with everyone - from rehabilitation patients to group and private clients. An active teacher in Pilates for over nine years, she earned her Full STOTT PILATES Instructor Certification in 2012, and became a Lead Instructor Trainer for Merrithew^® specializing in STOTT PILATES. Jackie specializes in acute and chronic general orthopedic conditions, sports medicine, post-surgery rehabilitation, breast cancer and postural dysfunction in kids and teenagers. Jackie is fluent in both French and English.

Despite dedicating over 12 years to competitive dancing and volleyball, Jacqui discovered her true passion when she stepped into her first Pilates class. Captivated by the deep-strengthening, functional workout, she became a passionate advocate for Pilates — an exercise that left her feeling challenged, energized and grounded, both physically and mentally.

After graduating from Regis University with a degree in Public Relations & Marketing and beginning a career as a Marketing Director, Jacqui left it all behind when she realized it was time for her to share her passion for Pilates with others. She became a STOTT PILATES^® Certified Instructor in April 2019 and founded her studio, REFORM Pilates & Barre, in June of the same year. She went on to obtain her STOTT PILATES Full Certification in April 2021 and STOTT PILATES Matwork and Reformer Instructor Trainer in March 2023.

With a passion for form and attention to detail, Jacqui tailors each workout to meet her client’s needs and challenges them to build endurance and strength. She is dedicated to enhancing the well-being of everyone who walks through the door.

Jacquin graduated from the Department of Physical Therapy in Taiwan, and obtained her Physiotherapy license in 2007. During her first year working, she was introduced to a type of exercise called "Pilates" and discovered STOTT PILATES^® in 2009. Jacquin noticed that many Pilates trainers were dealing with a language barrier in the process of becoming certified, so in 2014, she decided to become an Merrithew^® Instructor Trainer specializing in STOTT PILATES. A Redcord Neurac instructor, she uses her passion and knowledge to help others who are interested in becoming a STOTT PILATES Instructors.

Jaeeun discovered Pilates after trying various exercises to treat herniated discs following an accident. In addition to renewed health, she found an increased amount of energy as a result of doing Pilates. Filled with a desire to share her story (and this energy), Jaeeun opened her own studio in 2007. Three years later, she began providing instructor training through Merrithew’s STOTT PILATES^® instructor training course.

As part of her continuing development to support a wide range of health and fitness enhancements for her clients, Jaeeun recently completed her master's degree and PhD in Sports Medicine.
