From humble beginnings being raised in Ivory Coast Africa, France, and Canada, Jacquie embarked early on her athletic career. She started out as a bodybuilder in her twenties, and then transitioned to triathlon. In this sport, she found tremendous success and turned professional. She accumulated top 5 finishes in 6 countries, top 2 in Ironman Canada, and top 20 at the Ironman World Championships. Turning her attention to Pilates after retiring from her triathlon career, Jacquie has become an internationally well known and respected teacher and leader in Classical Pilates.

Despite looking fit by most conventional standards, when she retired from triathlon, Jacquie, at the age of 35, realized the toll that intense training for all those years had taken on her body.

It was then, as she was transitioning out of professional triathlon that Jacquie discovered Pilates. This system offered her the path of rehabilitation and creating balance in her body for the long term. By 2015 she was accepted into the master mentorship program with the incomparable Jay Grimes, who was himself trained by Joe Pilates. She knew she had found her heart and passion. 

Today, at age 54, Jacquie has realized a profound difference in her physique in the last 19 years. She has no injuries, no chronic pain, fits in the same size clothes as in her twenties, and sailed through menopause.

In short, what she discovered was the magic contained in the Classical Pilates Method. She has trained hundreds of women over 40 in the last 19 years, who have also found their own remarkable transformations, and the key to youthful vitality.

The Classical Pilates Quest brings together all of Jacqueline’s wisdom in this easy-to-follow online learning curriculum. You will have guidance every step of the way so you too can elevate every aspect of your well being - mind, body, and spirit.
