Before venturing into the realm of Pilates instruction, Jamie Simes, with a background in Astanga yoga and surf teaching, cultivated a lifelong affinity for movement. The motivation behind this pursuit was a profound desire to engage fully in life without enduring pain.

In 2019, a serious illness inflicted substantial trauma on Jamie’s nervous system, prompting a comprehensive relearning of movement. Through the personal journey of Pilates rehabilitation, a newfound love for the discipline blossomed. Jamie recognizes, from personal experience, that the small victories within the rehabilitation process significantly contribute to an enhanced quality of life.
