An Interview with ABOW Owner Jean Sullivan

A couple weeks ago our very own Jean Sullivan, owner of A Body of Work, was interviewed live on Instagram by Colibri Digital Marketing. Colibri Digital Marketing is a digital marketing agency that focuses on empowering their clients to learn and gain confidence with technology. Over the past year, ABOW has teamed up with them to improve our skills with technology and reach a larger audience.

This partnership has been invaluable and provided Jean with the opportunity to participate in her first ever Instagram Live interview! This Live was an installment of Colibri’s interview series in which they discuss what it takes to run a business with business owners like Jean herself. Jean discussed the trials of running two businesses (ABOW and our teacher training program ITT Pilates), how she maintained the ABOW community through the pandemic, and advice for those looking to open up their own studio. 

“I learned by practicing Pilates that it brings a lot of joy to me … and I found that that joy was accessible to everybody … I think it comes from allowing yourself to be utterly in the moment, completely present. Letting go of everything else … and just listening to your body.” ~ Jean

Watch the full interview to hear how Jean went from trapeze artist to business owner and how she found the joy in other types movement after her professional dance career.
