dear jessica, this is probably going to be a very long comment as i want to write out some words i've been meaning to tell you for months now. i started doing your pilates for beginners workouts in the beginning of the year and i remember crying on the mat at your gentle and calm way of teaching. my whole life, i have not been good at sports and i had the worst gym teachers back in school who made me think of myself as someone who's not good enough to succeed at any sports and it made me dislike myself and my own body, and every time, i wanted to get into exercising, i did it with the wrong intentions (to lose weight as fast as possible) and worked against my body instead of with it. with just one gentle pilates workout, you single-handedly healed years of my PE trauma. i love that you always point out how you want to help people with the body they have and reach their individual goals, may it be a marathon or getting out of bed without pain. you helped me change my perspective and intention to working out and i'll be eternally grateful to you for that. so naturally, the video title shocked me - as a med student who's been to the ob-gyn department and as a daughter and granddaughter to two breast cancer survivors. i was so relieved when you said it was a DCIS and i'm glad it was discovered at that early stage. that doesn't mean that it's still not a heavy diagnosis with a lot of consequences that affect your body, mental health, wellbeing and everyday life. in german there's a saying that goes being lucky within bad luck. i'll keep you in my thoughts and wish you all the best. i hope you can go on this journey with trust in your body and with great support from your family, friends and subscribers. sending you hugs and love from germany🤍
Thinking of you at this time
Hello Ms. V. I am praying for you. I know God's hand is on you. You will get through this.
I want to ask you to do something, respectfully.
As you talk about this battle, please refer to it as your battle with cancer .
When you say " my breast cancer " you're taking ownership of the very thing you don't want. I am not saying deny the diagnosis. I am saying put cancer on notice that it is on foreign territory by not taking ownership of it. Began referring to it as your battle with cancer. You were not made to be defeated. I just found you and I have no intention on letting go. God bless you and your family. You got this.❤❤
Just found you and have done 2 of your 10 min workouts, please know I’m praying for you as I’ve loved your videos and teaching. God bless you, lean on Him at this time.
Hi, I started your Pilates a few weeks ago, and I think that you are great in what you do. Sorry about your diagnosis, praying for you. I would like to tell you more but my English is not good enough to express everything in my heart. Hope that everything will be ok for you. Michelle the FrenchCanadian . Namasté
Sending you lots of love and hugs! Everything will be ok 🙏!
What matters most to our community right now is you. We are praying for you, pulling for you and we will be here every step of the way. You have helped us all so much. ❤
Exactly this! You have been such a blessing to us in so many ways. Praying for you, your family, and your team. ❤
I am an eleven year breast cancer survivor. It is a very personal journey and everyone needs to make the best decisions for themselves. I wish you healing and peace in the process.
So sorry to hear this. From a 5-year cancer survivor, my prayers are with you.
Thank you for sharing this with us and for your courage and grace in this difficult time.
Hi Jessica, I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 38. My youngest was 8 months at the time. I am now 68. My Mother died at 27 from breast cancer so I was acutely aware of my genetics. I had a Mastectomy at the time followed by chemotherapy. Please know I will be praying for you but I have great faith that you will triumph and get through this. Thanks for sharing this news with us and being a great Pilates instructor. Blessings and peace be with you and your family.
As a breast cancer survivor I have one piece of advice …stay positive. A positive frame of mind is so important to the entire experience. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best. Take time to celebrate Christmas/the holidays with family and friends.
I am a cancer about 5 years ago buy the GRACE OF GOD MY SAVIOR I'M DOING WELL CANCER FREE I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR RECOVERY.
What kind of cancer u had??
I discovered your channel this week and just found this video. I was diagnosed with stage 2A HER2+ breast cancer 3.5 years ago. You put into words what I haven't been able to articulate. I do not feel safe in my body. I need to feel that safety. I have trouble sticking with workouts. I've gone through 22 rounds of chemo and I've had 5 breast surgeries since diagnosis. Thank you for sharing your story. I feel like I have finally found my place.
Oh wow Jessica! I am so sorry! My daughter and I have been doing your exercises for over 2 years and have shared your videos with my family and friends. May the Lord Jesus cover you through your medical care, rest and recovery and anyone else dealing with this disease. God bless you!
Amen ❤
Amen 🙌
Oh Jessica, how brave of you to share this so very personal news. You are an inspirational lady and I wish you all the good luck in the world. Thank you for your amazing videos and the very special gift you have for making people value their health. 🥰🥰🥰
I don’t often leave UA-cam comments but this knocked the wind out of me. You’re incredible, your videos literally changed my life when I stumbled upon them earlier this year. I don’t even know you but have grown familiar and comfortable with your deeply supportive & soothing voice. You have a palpable impact on so many people’s lives. Thank you so much. Holding you and your family in prayer. We’re all rooting for you and your full recovery. Bless you.
I'm terribly sorry to hear this news, but so glad that this was caught early! You are an inspiration to me - I'm 54, and love that your pilates videos are for everybody and "every body"! I've never stuck consistently with any exercise, until finding your videos over a year ago. Sending you wishes for hope and healing, as you begin your treatments.
Dear Jessica, I send you love and wish you a good and successful journey. Also want to thank you. My 2 years old grandson was diagnosed with leukemia two months ago. I can absolutly understand what you mean in the fog you are in. I learned from you that a painful part of our body is not our enemy. So when my grandson tells me his legs are in pain (from chemo), I hug him in my arms, we sit and sing songs to his legs, we tell the legs how much we love them. That is my interpertation to what I learned from you. So thank you for your wisdom and I am sure you have all you need to win this. Good luck 🙏🏻
I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 metastasized breast cancer. I pray that you have a quick and full recovery. Pray, Stay positive, It will get better! 😊🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Our twins were 9 months old when I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. They are 14 now. I understand the unbelief in receiving that dx. I'm also a PT & I love your videos. I'm going to be praying for you & your family. Like you, I would have never chosen this path, but there is richness to be had that seems can be gained nowhere else. I give glory to God for granting peace through the journey....praying the same for you, and total healing.
.....rooting you on!
Jodi Reed
We are all rooting for you jessica!! ❤
Hello, I just wanted to say that your videos have been extremely beneficial in strengthening and relieving the pain in my body. It is such a blessing that your tumor was detected so early and that you have been surrounded by people who support you. I just wanted to remind you that as someone who has also gone through both emotional, mental, and physical pain throughout my life, when your strength runs out you can run to the open arms of your loving Heavenly Father who knew you before you were born and created you to be wonderfully complex. He will never abandon you or forsake you. Wishing you the best in your journey and thank you for sharing your story with us. May the peace that surpasses every circumstance be with you and may His strength that surpasses all creation empower you. May Jehovah, the Almighty LORD bless you and be with you. Amen.
Sending you loads of love 💕 ❤
Hi Jessica. I was diagnosed with DCIS in early Feb 2024. Oncoplastic surgeon advised lumpectomy as the size is too small.However, the surgery was together with my hysterectomy due to prolapse. I am now recovering, still anxious and sleepless sometimes. I can't wait to start doing your exercises. Hope to hear some more about your DCIS experience. Appreciate you a lot.🙏🤗
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve only been subscribed for about a month or so but even in that time I can see how strong you are and how supportive you are or your subscribers, and I know that you will get through this.
Sending you so much love and hopes for a speedy recovery 💖💖💖
Sending you so much love and courage!! ❤
Here for you, Jess. Wishing you a swift recovery.

Thank you so much for sharing this I am sure that there are so many people who are going to be helped by you sharing your story. My mother went through this a couple years ago and is completely back to baseline now it is all a distant memory! I know that when we were going through it, so many people came forward and shared their stories with us and it was so comforting to know that we weren't alone. So you certainly aren't alone and I am sending you love, light, and prayers to get through this!
Thank you for sharing. Sending you healing prayers! ❤

Dearest Jessica - what a blessing it has been to discover your channel this year. 🙏❤
I thank you so much for continuing to be so vulnerable on your channel and sharing such deeply personal things like this. I too have dense breast tissue - I'm 44 and by the grace of God just had my fourth clear mammogram. You will be prayed for by many as you move along this journey. The kindness you continue to show yourself and your body is so encouraging. You've been through many things, and I trust God will see you through this one too. I just love everything you shared, and will most certainly continue to support you and your channel! Take very good care, Jessica! Sending lots of love.
Dear Jessica, sending you healing thoughts. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis and how fortunate that it was discovered early. You are an inspiration to many of us! After a difficult (third) endo surgery and many months of just feeling low and weak I started doing your exercise routines again and after a few months I started to see results which makes me so happy. Thank you for all you do and wishing you all the best with your healing journey. xxx
Thank you so much for sharing so soon after your diagnosis. I’m sure learning with you throughout your journey will help hundreds if not thousands of women. All the best for your treatments and I hope recovery goes as smoothly as possible xxx
Omg! I love you! LOVE your videos! I know you will come out of this journey beautifully! ❤
So much love coming your way. I have been there and I know the journey is personal. Best to you and yours!
Sending all good thoughts to you Jessica. You are such a lovely person, thinking of everyone else with what you are going through x
so sorry to hear your bad news. your workouts have been revolutionary to me - I am wishing you the best!!

I'm so sorry to hear this Jessica. I wish you all the very best with your treatment and recovery, I hope all goes well for you. I love your chanel which I discovered this year after being diagnosed with Endometriosis and you have helped me so much. You have even given me a new found love for pilates with your gentle, calming and very instructive approach as I had tried it many times before but never enjoyed it or understood it and now thanks to you I have a much better understanding of it and how much it benefits your body. Thank you Jessica ❤
Dear Jessica opening yourself up to your followers can’t have been easy. Thank you for doing so. Good luck on this journey. Sending you positive energy x
I have never commented before but I love your videos and it feels like I spend some time with you every day. As someone who has hypermobility (and a lot of pain), your videos and knowledge are so valuable to me. Thank you for being open and sharing your breast cancer journey. I just went through my first mammogram, additional imaging, and a biopsy. I'm sending you courage, healing and love from Utah.
Sending you hugs, love and positivity. Your videos have helped me so much. ❤
Jessica, thank you for sharing your diagnosis. I wish you a successful surgery and speedy recovery. I know it’s a lot, but I am so glad it is a stage 0. Sending you and your family hugs.❤
I want you to know that you have such a positive impact on so many of us out here! Your videos mean so much to me- I do at least one almost every day. I love how warm and encouraging you are in your videos. I love how you talk through each stage of the sequence. And how you tell us to meet your body where it is. I remind myself of that a lot😊
Thank you again for putting so much light and healing out there-I hope our messages help send the love and support back to you!
Jessica I just found your pilates this past week and I am really enjoying it. You are very calming and easy to follow. I would like to wish you the very best in your journey from your operation to recovery.
Sending you lots of love & thank you for being so authentic with us.
