She furthered her training under the supervision of physical therapists associated with Matilda Hospital Rehab clinic Central, Hong Kong.
Upon returning to the States, Janine chose Polestar Pilates Education (Brent Anderson) for her Pilates certification. Secondary Pilates training was through PHI Pilates Pittsburgh. She is certified in all Pilates Apparatus.
Janine established The Pilates Room (1st in McLean) in 2002.
