Community Spotlight: Jessie Overbeek
From weekend ritual to future trainer — how one class changed everything
One class can change everything. That’s exactly what happened to Jessie Overbeek, who walked into her first Prescription class a year ago — and walked out completely lit up.
At the time, Jessie was living in Ericeira, but found herself making weekly weekend trips to Lisbon for one reason only: to get on the Reformer.
“It became my little ritual—and honestly, the reason I fell in love with both Lisbon and Prescription,” she says.
The difference was immediate. The energy, the music, the trampoline — it was nothing like she’d experienced before.
“It challenged me in all the right ways and left me feeling both powerful and grounded.”
One year later, Jessie’s journey has come full circle — she’s now training to become a Pilates instructor through the Prescription Academy, the very place where her love for the method began. And her path into the program? Pure synchronicity.
“I woke up one morning with this strong gut feeling to send an email to Prescription,” she recalls.
“Within minutes, I was on the phone with Camille… and found out a new round of the Academy was starting that same afternoon. Without a second thought, I cleared my schedule and said yes.”
The Transformation — Body, Mind & Movement
Since committing to Dynamic Reformer Pilates, Jessie’s experienced deep changes — not just physically, but mentally.
“I’ve never felt stronger or more flexible — especially in my core and posture. But the biggest shift has been mental. It resets my day, every time I walk into the studio.”
It’s more than just the workout — it’s the people.
“There’s no ego here, no judgment. Just real support and shared love for movement. It feels like home.”
In Her Words: Jessie Describes Prescription in 3
Empowering – “I’ve never felt more connected to myself.”
Elevated – “You’re held to a higher standard — in the best way.”
Home – “I’ve found mentors, community, and something real.”
Inside the Academy: From Client to Instructor
Joining the Prescription Academy felt like a full-body “yes” for Jessie — and she’s embracing it fully.
“It’s rigorous in the best way. You don’t just learn how to teach — you discover your own voice, your own style, your strength. It’s completely transformative.”
Who does she recommend it for?
“Anyone who feels a genuine love for the method and is ready to go all in. It stretches you and sparks something that doesn’t go out.”
Jessie — thank you for moving with us, trusting your instinct, and becoming such a beautiful part of this community. We can’t wait to see where your teaching takes you next.
