Join the Sanctum >>
Let me guess...
YOU FEEL STUCK IN YOUR COACHING.
Â
Do any of these sound like YOU?
- You’re piecing classes together from Insta drills and old notes—and you’re not sure what’s evidence-based vs. internet lore. (So your progressions feel more “vibes” than structure.)
- Students plateau at the same sticking points—scap control, bracing, fear, “mystery” hip/shoulder stuff—and you want clearer assessments and fixes.
- Mixed-level classes make your brain melt. (You need clean progressions/regressions that keep everyone safe, engaged, and moving forward.)
- You suspect overtraining or under-recovering is the real issue, but you’re not confident with load management and nervous-system-first planning.
- You want cues that land—especially for hypermobile, neurodivergent, peri/menopausal, or “complex” bodies—without defaulting to bro-energy or shame.
- You’re unsure where coaching ends and physio begins. (Scope-of-practice, referral points, and ethical boundaries feel fuzzy.)
- You’re coaching in a silo with no true community of practice. (You crave peer review, mentorship, and smarter conversations.)

HOW THE
SANCTUM
CAN HELP.
Â
Too many drills, not enough direction? Get a cohesive system. The Sanctum organizes pedagogy, biomechanics, and skill-acquisition into a clear framework—so your class plans, progressions, and regressions actually ladder skills.
Multi-apparatus, one methodology. Silks, hoop, rope, pole, handstands—teach across disciplines with the same nervous-system-first principles, so your cues and progressions stay consistent (and effective).
Struggle with planning? Steal back your evenings with plug-and-adapt lesson frameworks, assessment checklists, and progression maps. Less scrambling, more coaching.
Students stuck or spinning out? Learn to spot pattern problems (scap control, bracing, fear responses, hypermobility quirks) and fix them with targeted mobility, strength, and load-management strategies.
Worried about “doing it right”? Trade vibes for evidence. Build classes from principles you can explain: what this drill does, why it works, and how to scale it for different bodies—ethically and within scope.
Mixed-level chaos? Design clean progressions/regressions and layered stations that keep beginners safe, intermediates challenged, and your advanced folks engaged—without burning you out.
Want to meet other folks in your weird little boat? Join us for monthly live community classes or at our annual meet-up--this year in Bend, Oregon--where we come together to share ideas, learn, and grow like scrappy weeds that make some fucking beautiful flowers.

Â
Tangible Solutions to Complex Body Problems
As a member of The Parish, you’ll have access to tailored resources that address specific needs within our community. You won’t receive generic advice that you could find from any personal trainer or pilates class. Our approach helps you navigate complex body issues of aerialists with actionable advice, leading to faster progress with less injury and burnout.
Whole-Person Approach
We treat every member as a whole ass person with lives and responsibilities outside of the studio and brains that like to BRAIN. Our community shares insights and experiences outside of sets and reps, ensuring everyone benefits from a rich pool of knowledge and support for their neurodivergence, tweaks and pulls, frustrations with aging, and more.
Flexible Depth of Focus
Whether you’re diving deep into a particular skill or exploring broader training concepts, The Parish offers a range of classes and resources to adapt to your individual journey. The diversity of our offerings, including on eight different apparatuses, allows you to choose what best suits your needs at any given time.
Pattern Recognition
Together, we identify movement patterns and training obstacles that may go unnoticed. Our members share their insights, helping each other optimize their performance and break through their physical and mental barriers.
Clear Coaching with Space for Big Feelings
Our community embraces direct, clear communication. We hold each other accountable while providing the support needed to foster growth, ensuring you feel empowered throughout your journey and holding space for big feelings.
Diversity & InclusivityÂ
The Parish is dedicated to navigating various levels of ability and disability, acknowledging how those can shift from day to day. Our members support one another, creating an inclusive atmosphere where everyone can thrive and find their unique place within the community. This space prioritizes women of color, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and other marginalized identities. We have a zero-tolerance policy for transphobia, racism, anti-Blackness, homophobia, classism, ableism, & body shaming.
HI, I'M JESSICA.
I'm an aerial coach and mentor with almost two decades in this industry. I did not take any traditional route. No full-time professional training programs. No lifelong commitment to the pursuit of perfect toe point. I did not receive the blessings of the aerial illuminati. I did not genuflect when my name was called.
What I was, always, was CURIOUS, even if it was just climbing trees in my backyard. When my parallel bar routines did not get me discovered on the playground, I moved on to tennis and then dance and later skiing. I was never particularly gifted in any of them.
When I stumbled onto aerial silks and dance trapeze in my early thirties, it felt like coming home. The curiosity that turned me onto tennis, dance, and skiing is the same curiosity that drew me to aerial. So I traveled far and wide to seek out teachers. I investigated techniques outside of circus that unlocked doors to so many skills. I read. I studied. I read some more. I took every opportunity that came my way. There weren't many, so I began creating my own opportunities.
The Parish is the feminist AF aerial community that would have blown my mind when I got tired of straps bros mansplaining me about what was happening in my body. I am committed to sharing the wisdom of the many great women who inform my personal movement practice. I hope to helping other women find their aerial home outside of a dopamine-hit aerial culture that apologizes for its imperfections instead of treasuring the "mistakes" required for deep knowing.
"Jessica's approach to mobility is a brilliant combination of rehab, research, and flexibility. Flexibility training used to be a really painful experience for me and not something I'd stuck with for more than a few weeks at a time. Being in the Parish, I've done more mobility than I have in my life."
Â
Michelle Gardner
"I love the brave feminist space that . . . Circus Mobility is and represents. I also love that Jessica makes herself so available for direct communication. I find dealing directly with the coach behind the program is so important. I feel cared for as an individual rather than part of a business machine!"

BUT I ALREADY TAKE CLASSES, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?
Â
Maybe. Or maybe you are searching for much more than your local studio can can provide.Â
Maybe you're tired of petty politics and favoritism.
Or maybe you love your studio and its peeps, but they just don't have the deep expertise to help you get where you want to go in your wacky body.
In The Parish, we get curious about the details and what makes you different, because that's the special sauce not just to find efficient techniques for your body, but also to help you move is a way that feels and looks GOOD.
We place priority on sensation and awareness, knowing that we don't want to be strangers inside our own bodies.
We notice how our practices have a ripple effect through our muggle lives and our circus, pole, or aerial dance communities.
We cater to the artist who only performs for their saluki in the backyard as much the one with the big contract.
We foster a brave, inclusive virtual space that advocates for and amplifies disabled and diverse voices.
We're those bitches. Want to join us?
