What happens when the body you’ve always relied on breaks down? Jessica McGarvey knows this journey intimately. A former professional dancer turned Pilates instructor, Jessica opens up about her herniated disc injury, the long road to recovery, and how that season deepened her empathy for clients navigating invisible illness and postpartum healing.
Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or struggling to find a movement practice that feels safe, this episode is packed with grace-filled wisdom, practical encouragement, and hope that healing is possible—even if it looks different than you planned.
Memorable Quotes:
- I want each client to have a positive body movement experience when they come in to see me.
- I had very grandiose ideas of what recovery would look like—then I had to have a reality check.
- Pilates meets you where you are. I feel like my body’s had therapy after every session.
