Speaker Bio
A Kansas City native, Jocelyn received her Bachelor of Science in Dance Management from Oklahoma City University and went on to pursue a career as a professional dancer. Jocelyn performed in Las Vegas, Branson, and danced for Carnival Cruise Lines for six years. After injuring
her back in 2006, she spent a year rehabilitating with her Physical Therapist and Pilates Instructor, and returned to the stage and performed for two more years. She credits her daily practice of Mat Pilates to helping extend her career after her injury. When she retired from dancing
professionally in 2008, she knew her next career would involve helping others; she furthered her education and received her Comprehensive Pilates Training in 2009 and graduated from Penn Valley's Physical Therapist Assistant program in 2013. She completed the bridge program
through Pilates Sports Center in 2016 and is now the PSC Master Trainer for the KC area, where she trains and mentors new Pilates instructors.

Jocelyn also holds a current Physical Therapist Assistant license for the state of Kansas, is a TRX® Suspension Training Certified Trainer, was an Ambassador for the inaugural Momentum Fest Pilates & Movement Festival, and is a PMA Certified Pilates Instructor. Additionally, she and
one of her instructors were invited to teach Pilates and Barre at the 2018 NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL. She is passionate about helping women return to fitness safely after pregnancy, and completed a course with Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute on Postpartum Care to continue her education.

Jocelyn opened Studio7 in April 2014 with 2 instructors; she now has 9 instructors and is growing her team. She runs the Pilates education program for Studio7, oversees all business operations, teaches group classes, sees private clients, and is always thinking of new, creative ways to expand Studio7 within the Kansas City community. Studio7 Pilates + Barre has been named BEST PILATES STUDIO in Kansas City for 2018 and 2019, and are once again nominated for 2020.
