JEANNELYN (JHEN),

SENIOR INSTRUCTOR

 
 

Originating from the Philippines, Jhen’s movement education began at Philippines’ top university where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy. After graduating, she worked as a licensed Physiotherapist in a hospital conducting initial assessments of patients' conditions and developing then implementing personalised treatment plans with on-going evaluations.

After being introduced to Pilates in 2007, she saw its potential to augment the rehabilitation process and enhance her physiotherapy skills. By integrating Joseph Pilates' holistic exercise method with her extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology, she curates personalised programmes for clients of all ages, physical abilities and conditions to improve power, coordination, endurance or range of motion as needed. Jhen uses her physiotherapy experience to complement in-session training with education on how to modify daily activities, develop adaptive behaviours and shift dysfunctional movement patterns in all aspects of life.

Jhen is a comprehensive Certified STOTT Pilates Instructor and her teaching experience spans over fifteen years, including a three-year stint in Kuwait before over a decade working with clients here in Singapore.
