I've had several challenges, including cancer and a Parkinson's diagnosis that Jamie has helped me work through. With every step, she has been flexible, kind, empathetic, and empowering.

I came in with several physical challenges, including shoulder pain, poor flexibility in my legs, and posture issues. She quickly identified what my body needed and came up with a workout plan that suited my individual needs, which has progressed over time. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she's also very enjoyable to work with as well!

I have had low back pain for over 20 years. After a few months working with Jamie, my back pain began to fade and is now nonexistent. I have hug gratitude for Jamie's skill. It is life-changing for me, and something I did not think was possible.

Client Testimonial

My work with Jamie has been extremely valuable because I have been able to learn a lot about my body while also building strength. Jamie does an incredible job of explaining how each exercise builds stability within my body.

During our training sessions, Jamie is supportive and provides a lot of positive feedback. She really takes the time to build rapport, and I can tell that she listens to me and incorporates any feedback I have. Jamie also provides many opportunities to give feedback throughout the training session.

The last four years, I have had multiple ankle and hip injuries. This has caused me to be in and out of physical therapy and going to different doctors. Since working with Jamie, I have had very little hip pain, and my ankle has increased in stability. I have had no recurrent ankle injuries. I have also been able to slowly participate in my normal physical activities that I was doing prior to my injuries.
