Jessica Leung

​

Jessica is our Pilates Instructor and Nutrition & Healthy Lifestyle Coach.  She believes everyone deserves to have a happy, healthy body and mind which is long lasting and with the right  fitness, nutrition & lifestyle guidance anyone can achieve this.

 

Previous to being a Pilates Instructor &  Nutrition Coach Jessica was a chef and a restaurant owner, in London and Hong Kong. Working in a kitchen and running several restaurants Jessica was always in a high stress environment which can take its toll on one’s body.  She practised pilates from the age of 17, discovering how having a healthy spine leads to better mobility and prevents injuries as she saw colleagues around her suffering from back and hip pain from having to be on their feet all day everyday.  After being in the hospitality industry for so many years, she wanted others to experience the benefits of pilates and got her Pilates Instructor Certificate as well as The Garuda Method Teaching Certificate. Besides pilates Jessica explored and studied how integrating healthy habits into one’s day to day life can help manage stress physically and mentally so that everyone can extend the longevity of their bodies so they can live longer with a healthy mind and body.

 

Jessica understands everyone has different bodies and lifestyles and there is no one size fits all approach to reaching their desired fitness, nutrition and lifestyle goals.  Her nutrition and healthy lifestyle programme & pilates classes enables her to be her client’s guiding hand on their journey to feel good and live better.  Her passion has always been with food, she began her journey of sharing with her clients her knowledge of food as a source of enrichment to the body and how eating healthy does not mean taking the enjoyment out of a meal.  

 

When Jessica isn’t coaching clients, you will find her lost in a book, out and about with her dogs, or cooking delicious creations in her kitchen.
