I am from the East Coast and was visiting Seattle on a business trip. I attended a 1:1 session with Deborah. She was warm, kind, and knowledgeable. Deborah did a good job creating a supportive atmosphere and provided the right amount of challenge during the workout. After the long-distance travel journey to Seattle, I felt aligned and strong upon completing the workout. I will definitely visit again the next time I am in town. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I have been coming here for about a year now. This place has saved my body. I have been in chronic pain for as long as I can remember. After about two months I realized I was no longer in pain. It has been a life changing situation for me. This is more like physical therapy + gym + massage. The level of attention is so different than even most personal trainers I have had. I leave feeling aligned and stronger each time. This has truly become my happy place!

Jessica, the owner, is more talented than most physical therapists I have worked with. She develops a personalized movement practice that helps develop physical healing and strength, in addition to self-awareness that pays dividends in building your own practice outside of her studio, be it a home practice of exercises that she will develop with you, or recommendations to local medical practitioners who will help in other areas of life. Also: her studio is gorgeous and cozy. If you're thinking about investing in your joint and spine health in ways that will benefit you for years to come, then I cannot recommend Emerald City Pilates enough.

I’ve been doing Pilates with Jessica for 4 years now. Jessica is very knowledgeable of how muscles/joints/etc. work together, which is very important to me as I have chronic back issues. She’s able to customize the exercises to make sure they are aligned with my goal and what my body needs, and most importantly makes every session fun. She is such a big help in my recovery journey. Couldn’t recommend her and this Pilates studio enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Emerald City Pilates! I’ve noticed amazing muscle growth and toning results, but the best part is that the workouts never feel painful or stressful. The instructors really know how to guide you through each movement in a way that’s effective yet comfortable. I always leave feeling stronger, more energized, and excited to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build strength in a supportive and enjoyable way!

I cannot recommend Emerald City Pilates enough! Jess is truly outstanding — she combines deep expertise with a warm, approachable style that makes every session both challenging and enjoyable. What stands out most is the personalized attention she gives: she takes the time to understand your goals, listens carefully to how your body is feeling, and tailors each workout so it’s perfectly suited to your needs. Jess has an incredible ability to spot the little details in your form and offer adjustments that make a huge difference. She explains the “why” behind each movement in a way that’s easy to understand. If you’re looking for a highly skilled, knowledgeable instructor who truly cares about your progress, Emerald City Pilates with Jess is the place to be. I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and motivated to come back!
