"When I first worked with Jamie as her physical therapy patient, I had no idea what Pilates was. I pictured

80s style ground aerobics. Since then I've recognized that Pilates with Jamie is about learning how your

body is supposed to move in order to work most efficiently and safely. Pilates has been an easy transition

from the type exercises done in physical therapy. Pilates has helped me increase my awareness of my

physical self. I feel like it provides me the opportunity to learn how to work through physical barriers and

prevent injuries.

 

My whole adult life I have struggled to become physically fit without long term success. A serious of maladies has had me on a roller coaster between dedication at the gym and being laid up at home nursing an injury and losing my progress. For the first time, I feel like I can learn to use exercise to help my body heal when I'm confronted with an obstacle instead losing motivation. Jamie has helped me to see that there is an connectedness between my recurring problems and that I can improve my posture and the way that I move to help prevent future injury.

 

Jamie is very knowledgable about musculoskeletal system and how the human body moves. She uses a variety of ways to describe what your body is doing while performing any given motion until the imagery can help you to improve. Jamie is also really fun to work with. My hour-long sessions go by very quickly and it doesn't even feel likeI've been working out. I would recommend Pilates to anyone who has struggled with physical limitations to exercise or is serious about physical fitness and improving form."
