Meet Our Staff
Jenny Boehmer, Owner & Pilates Teacher
I took my first private Pilates session in 1998 at Erskine Fitness in Seattle. Immediately I knew Pilates was exactly what my body had been missing and desperately needed. Pilates addressed the imbalances I had developed through years of playing soccer. Since Pilates has become a regular activity in my life, I have been able to continue a very active lifestyle with minimal injuries and quick recoveries.
Having a fascination with the human body coupled with a newfound love of Pilates, I jumped at the opportunity to become a certified Pilates teacher.
Since becoming certified in 2000, I have worked with men, women, and children of all ages and fitness levels. My goal is to teach Pilates in a way that is fun, effective, and safe. You don’t need to know anything about Pilates or how to do Pilates to get started. I will meet you wherever you are in your fitness journey.
If you have any questions about Pilates, or would like to discuss sessions and scheduling, please email or call. I’d love to talk with you.

Leah, Pilates Instructor
Pilates found me a few years ago while recovering from hip and shoulder surgeries
resulting from the wear-and-tear of a gymnastics and soccer-heavy childhood coupled
with my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a connective tissue disease). I desperately needed
something to add to my yoga-centered lifestyle that would help me heal, regain my
strength and retain my flexibility in a gentle yet effective way. My first reformer class felt
like I had come home. My body loved every move and stretch and I couldn’t wait until I
could hop back on a machine. I knew instantly that Pilates was the missing puzzle piece,
not only to my personal fitness & healing journey, but to my fitness career.
As an instructor, I hope to ignite the love of movement, creativity and play in my classes.
As a survivor of a car accident 20 years ago that left me temporarily paralyzed &
wheelchair bound, followed by years of frustrating and difficult rehabilitation…I know
that movement truly is a gift. Every day I find joy in movement, whether that’s pilates,
yoga or simply walking my dogs. I get excited about movement like a kid on a new
playground. And just like a playground has swings, slides, and climbing structures to
explore, what I love about Reformer classes are the endless variations of pushing,
pulling, balancing, and stretching. Each class is a blend of strengthening, flexibility,
control and playfulness—and don’t forget, walking out those doors afterwards feeling
like a million bucks!
I’m excited to continue creating spaces where movement feels empowering and joyful. I
hope to see you in the studio!

Melissa, Pilates Teacher
I began my career teaching Group Fitness at a local gym over 30 years ago. It was there that I saw Jenny giving a private lesson on a reformer, which inspired me to pursue Pilates. I soon realized that Pilates was more intentional and offered individualized instruction. I value that Pilates provides accessible movement for everyone. This makes teaching it both joyful and challenging. I began teaching in 2017 after completing my training through Pilates Academy International. I draw on my three decades of group fitness teaching and my love of puzzling to deliver the best Pilates class I can. When not teaching Pilates, you can find me rollerblading on the Centennial Trail, hiking in the nearby mountain ranges, or taking my daily walk at the Everett Marina waterfront.

Emily Hannam, Pilates Teacher
My Pilates journey started in 2016 when I was looking for something to augment physical therapy. I was half way through my twenty years as a Machinery Technician in the US Coast Guard, and the impact of life at sea had already started taking a physical and mental toll. Now at the end of that career, I am so excited to make Pilates a bigger part of my life. Whether my pain stemmed from long hours standing on steel decks, overnight international flights, or turning wrenches, having a solid movement routine helped me protect my body and recover. There were times when other forms of exercise became inaccessible to me, but Pilates always felt safe, uplifting and fortifying.
I decided to further my practice and become a teacher. I was fortunate enough to work with Pilates Academy International to complete the All Populations Reformer certification and I aim to share the feeling of strength and clarity I get from this wonderful practice with my own clients. I love how helpful Pilates can be for any body, and seek to foster a supportive, positive, and inclusive environment.
