Jessica is an avid outdoor sports enthusiast. A former pro mountain biker, Jessica specialized in endurance events. In 2004 she was honored to represent the USA at the Mountain Bike World Marathon Championships. That same year she was a 24-hour race champion. Her road racing victories include the Ironhorse in the 35+ category.
Jessica was plagued with knee injuries and surgeries during her cycling career. Shortly following the peak of her cycling achievements, Jessica was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in her hip and suffered debilitating back pain that forced her off the bike. Too young for the recommended hip replacement surgery, she explored alternative therapies and discovered the Egoscue Method® of posture alignment therapy. Through realigning her body and regaining lost muscle function, she’s been able to return to sports and competitive athletics, including mountain biking, trail running and cross-country skiing.
Through her work, Jessica is dedicated to informing athletes about the importance of maintaining a balanced body for injury prevention and optimal performance.
