She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida, developing a strong foundation in biomechanics, human anatomy, and orthopedic injury prevention. Her academic training and personal fitness journey led her to pursue a career centered on individualized support and physical education.
After college, Maya strengthened her patient-care skills by working under Advanced Practice Providers across various healthcare settings, including general pediatrics, inpatient physical therapy, hospital burn units, and surgery centers. Through these experiences, she gained exposure to diverse health conditions and diagnoses, while developing a deeper understanding of how differently the body can present, heal, and adapt. This exposure to healthcare reinforced her commitment to supporting individuals with varying health and movement needs.
With a background in dance, Maya rediscovered her love for movement through weekly Pilates classes at a local gym, reconnecting with the same curiosity she felt as a child exploring the body’s capabilities. Seeing the impact that Pilates had on her own body inspired her to help others unlearn harmful movement patterns and improve daily function in a way that is sustainable across all stages of life. She views Pilates as a preventive and corrective exercise method that develops strength, control, and body awareness, unlike any other exercise form.
Maya is currently completing her Comprehensive Pilates Certification through Balanced Body and plans to continue her healthcare education to support clients with a wide range of goals.

She has a deep love for horses and spent significant time showing them in hunter/jumper competitions, where she honed her skills and developed a profound appreciation for the equestrian lifestyle. In addition to her love for animals, Wendy has also pursued a creative outlet as the lead singer in a band that once featured a member widely recognized in the music industry.

Currently, Wendy finds joy in her life with her two beloved cats and her cherished grandchildren, who bring her immense happiness. Although she has a profound love for the beach and enjoys the tranquility it offers, she often struggles to find the time to visit, balancing her professional commitments and personal interests.

Jena Wilford
Administrative Assistant
Jena Wilford has always been driven by a deep passion for uplifting her community. This commitment shines through her previous work in law enforcement, support for special needs, and as a military spouse. Whether testifying before State representatives, creating care kits for Ronald McDonald House families, or being present for special needs families in crisis, she continually seeks to enhance lives and inspire those around her. Before joining Pivot Pilates, Jena held a variety of positions, including Executive Assistant to CEO's, Service Coordinator for mechanical contractors, Paralegal, and roles in marketing, among other responsibilities. She holds a degree in Criminal Justice and was a Certified FDLE Law Enforcement Officer. She is also nearing the completion of her second degree in Sociology and plans to complete her master’s in social work.
For many years, Jena was a stay-at-home mom while her husband served active duty, raising five children and often hosting a foreign exchange student during the school year. Through her experience managing her children's medical challenges, Jena has developed a wealth of medical knowledge, never imagining that this wisdom would one day empower her to face her own health issues. With their youngest child now in college and three granddaughters to cherish, Jena and her husband, Damien, are joyfully embracing their journey as grandparents and celebrating the freedom of being "empty nesters."
In 2024, life as Jena knew it transformed significantly with the diagnosis of life-threatening medical conditions. Despite facing numerous hospitalizations and overcoming three pulmonary embolisms, Jena's resilience shines through. Now, equipped with a feeding tube and port to thrive amidst her challenges, she has stepped away from full-time employment and found a blessing in joining the Pivot Pilates team.
When Jena is not at the studio or in the hospital, she embraces life with her husband, delights in playing with her Maine Coon, Bella, enjoys serene walks on the beach, and finds joy in reading books. She has come to realize that true impact in the world arises not from grand gestures, but from the daily choices she makes: to show compassion to herself and others, even in moments of struggle; to give wholeheartedly to her loved ones; and to live fully and passionately while she has the opportunity.
