“Jill has been my wellness coach for 2 years, and my work with her has been transformative. I started Pilates with a goal of strengthening my core (abs y’all, woo!), but she has coached me through half marathon training, multiple triathlons, rehabbing decades of posture neglect, and nutrition and gut issues. She keeps my body put together so that I can enjoy the things I love. Notably, as Jill has deepened her knowledge and expertise around fascia and mobility, she has taught me how to rehab my body in the studio and at home. As a human with a demanding job and a single parent to 3 active kiddos, I had neglected my body for years…I experienced chronic neck pain, migraines, traps that couldn’t relax, perpetually hunched shoulders, janky knees, and various aches and pains that contributed downstream. Friends - I invite you to listen to Jill’s sage guidance. My first year with Jill, I refused to rehab at home…I didn’t have “time”. But, with her help, I recognized the importance of small changes at home creating big impact in my life. At her core, Jill is a teacher. As much as I am grateful for her crafting my body over the years, I am even more grateful to her for teaching me how to help myself. My posture, while not perfect, is greatly improved. My neck pain is eliminated and mobility restored. My shoulders are no longer hunched, my back no longer rounded. I’m equipped with all the right techniques to activate the right muscles before training, and restore them afterward. I even travel with my “kit” of tune up balls to keep my body inline when I’m away. Jill and Manna Health + Pilates has, quite literally, changed my life. Squeeze your butt and roll your feet, y’all! If you know, you know!”
