Be Honest
Are you training like you're trying to collect every skill at once?
Layering goal on top of goal while also juggling work, relationships, recovery, and the chaos of daily life is basically strapping on a backpack full of bricks and heading straight up a mountain. Sure, you can push through — but you'll pay for it. In energy. In recovery. In joy. (And these days, we NEEED joy.)
I can't dump your backpack for you. But I can help you figure out which bricks are worth carrying, flatten the steepest parts of your path, and make sure your training is actually taking you somewhere you want to go.
Good coaching lightens your load, keeps you moving forward, and reminds you why you started in the first place — so you don't burn out before you even see the view.

Is The Conclave Right For You?
Are you an aerialist who wants to:
- Spend your limited training time on what actually moves the needle — not random exercises from cookie-cutter programs that eat into your creative energy
- Train strategically and realistically instead of trying to do everything you've ever been told to do — and burning out trying to keep up
- Have structure, accountability, and feedback built in so you're not trying to manage everything on your own (neurodivergent friends, I see you)
- Finally break the cycle of chronic injuries especially if you're navigating hypermobility, overtraining, or fluctuating capacity
- Make real progress as a multi-passionate aerialist without trying to train everything, all at once
- Work with a coach to figure out what actually works for your body so you're not guessing — and you can carry that forward long-term
- Understand your body on a deeper level because you care about how you train — not just what you do
Who it's not for: Beginners. I love supporting new aerialists in building strong foundations, but The Conclave is for seasoned aerialists who've been in the air long enough to have experienced the highs and the hard knocks.
What To Expect
Results that show up regardless of your specific goals.
Every aerialist comes into The Conclave with their own wishlist. My job is to turn those goals into a clear, achievable plan — grounded in solid technique and smart progressions. No matter what's on your list, some results are universal.
- More stable shoulders
- More core control & breathing patterns
- Improved ranges of motion
- Better proprioception
- Stronger beats & spins
- First straight-arm inversions
- Smooth j-flips
- Elephant presses
- Back flags
- Single coil rolls
- Cheststands
- Freestanding handstands
- Touchdown middle splits
This isn't just a program to follow. It's a deeper understanding of your body and how to train it — knowledge you'll carry for the rest of your aerial life.
Investment
Choose Your Track
Both tracks include the full Conclave programming — a complete aerial training system that integrates skill technique, strength, mobility, and prehab — plus access to the Conclave community. The difference? How closely we work together.
Because I run this program personally — and without outside funding — I offer a pay-in-full discount to help cover software, time, and transaction fees.
You thrive with structure, written feedback, and asynchronous expert coaching, but don't need face-time with a coach.

What would you tell people who are considering The Conclave?
It helps you choose and focus on an achievable set of goals and make progress with the time and resources you have available to you. It makes a big difference to not have to think about what to do when and how to get the most out of the time and access I have to train. I find I am much less injury prone when Jessica is thoughtfully guiding my training load as well. Nagging issues tend to disappear faster instead of getting worse and over time, some completely go away.
Conclave is brilliant and Jessica's programming methodology and ethos is outstanding. If you want to thrive in your aerial practice, to have someone super knowledgeable tailor your training to identify and work on your weaknesses, find consistency and accountability and to make tangible goals in skills, strength and flexibility then this programme will be one of the best investments you ever made.
I felt the most supported during the online chats in the Guided Track. They give me a chance to check more things and ask more questions. Jessica is so incredibly knowledgeable that these conversations were unbelievably rich for me to learn.
I've already been recommending it to people. I can tell I've gotten so much stronger and more flexible. It's a very different style of training than I have done before and I love the progress I am seeing with it.
Jessica is phenomenal at reviewing goals and tailoring programming to meet that goal. She is also exceptional at making adjustments, providing actionable feedback and coaching with consent. Everything is anatomically targeted specifically toward your goals and what you need to achieve them. It's glorious.
If you are open to reevaluate your strengths and weaknesses and let Jessica target those areas you will make the desired progress.
Do it. Spend the money. This program allows you to live with and IN your body vs doing it to your body. You will absolutely crush your goals with Jessica's guidance and/or get an invaluable amount of 'tools' in your training tool box to further your practice on your own.
Conclave is hard and humbling in the best possible way. Attaining goals in a measured, safe and productive way is a process. If you're ready to work hard, be accountable, and challenge yourself, this is the program to do it!
Just do it. Goals/progress take work to achieve and through a well structured, organized, and curated program like the Conclave you will see your goals come to life. Your progress may not be overnight but you will find things getting easier, your body getting stronger or more flexible at a safe and realistic pace. As aerialists we spend tons of money on stuff — why not invest money in your body and its overall health and well being too?
If you're looking for personalized quality feedback and cueing then this is totally for you. Little things I wouldn't have thought of like moving my arms up a bit more or closing my ribs even more were so helpful! Be ready to work and learn all about the joys of rolling!
I always tell people it's not just exercises to help you reach your goals but it organizes your life.
The Conclave is phenomenal for skill acquisition! The details in the cueing are amazing and all the programming is specific to your body and your needs. I have inadvertently retrained skills I thought I had and am now so much stronger in them and am so much more stable!
This program has helped me reach goals I was starting to doubt I would ever be able to achieve. Jessica is so incredibly knowledgeable and was able to put those pieces together so I could understand and train the right aspects to achieve those goals. If you are someone looking to reach that next goal, level up, or just want the accountability of a program designed specifically for you, this program is for you.
Highly recommended, especially for people training alone and needing the extra push to improve or polish their skills!
What Makes It Different
What Alums say sets The Conclave apart.
I find The Conclave to be very whole-person centred and deeply responsive to my shifting needs/energy levels/commitments across the cycle. I love the inclusion of breathing and nervous system regulation exercises as part of workouts and Jessica draws from her huge knowledge base (Gyrotonic, dance, etc.) to program some really inventive drills that have helped me progress in ways where other things have failed!
HOLISTIC APPROACH. She is able to look at everything from the whole picture. She also focuses on smaller movements or more movements that will make an impact in the long run. Her programs bring longevity into the equation vs short term goals. It's been a game changer having a coach that actually listens to you about what struggles you're having with your goals and tailors it to you rather than the "you're just not [excuse] enough."
I love that it's so comprehensive and looks at your training schedule as a whole not just flexibility or conditioning and also takes into account work, family and other commitments. I honestly was feeling overwhelmed before The Conclave trying to fit in all the things!
The level of detail!! Incredible! The fast responses when I needed support. The fact that she included the WHY rather than just the HOW!
A fundamental understanding of how hypermobility is both of benefit and a disadvantage, as well as how to solve for that. The combination of solo work and feedback. I feel like most programs are written for that person and then they are left to their own devices. I crave direct, non-judgmental and actionable feedback that I can go use as corrections for the next session. Jessica always provides that and I am so grateful.
How personalised it is, and specifically focused on how much my hypermobility and over-active nervous system affects my training.
It is a lot more individualized and allows you to focus on aerial, flex, and ground strength.
How in depth and comprehensive the programme is. Small fundamental movements that make a big difference.
Jess has an amazing ability to see and understand what works and doesn't work in different bodies. I have made more progress with one particular skill in 5 weeks than I have made in months.
It is targeted and so personal. In the best way.
I really enjoyed the personalized feedback each week if I posted videos. Having the additional cueing that's within the next day and ready for me the next workout was so helpful! Also the changing of exercises so I was always adding something new made things so fun!
The mobility and flexibility assessment makes this program different from other standardized programs. The program is written based on your goals and assessment.
I felt supported by my coach and fully equipped to make the progress I was shooting for. I have never been so excited to workout. Skills that I have struggled with in the past are now within reach.
I don't feel like I'm doing a bunch of one-size-fits-most exercises. Jess has a totally different approach than other coaches I've met. The drills each have very specific purposes that help you meet your aerial goals.
The variety of exercises was nice. I've been in the game a long time and done a lot of different progressions, but every workout had things I've never done.
I don't know of another program that is individually designed with opportunities for almost daily feedback, and weekly adjustments, that targets specific goals. That is the coolest part. I learned a bit how to break a skill into component parts, which will serve me in my training, but I also expect I'll find myself joining the Conclave again for the unique programming, and the skill Jessica has in doing that for people.
The specificity and attention to detail. It's a testament to Jessica's absolutely insane knowledge set. She can program and create pathways for just about anything.
