A dancer for many years, Jaime has long had a passion for the human body and how it works. At Arizona State University, Jaime earned a B.F.A. in Dance, which included the study of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and kinesiology. Since graduating, she has performed with several modern dance companies in Arizona and the Bay Area, touring in California, Washington State, and Vietnam (where she was the only person to be found in the hotel's decidedly un-air-conditioned fitness center).

Jaime first discovered Pilates in a high school dance class, though it went unnamed until years later when private sessions were offered as a job perk. Her love for movement and fitness made Jaime realize that she either needed to invent a treadmill desk, or leave her job in management for a life of Pilates.

Choosing the later, she promptly pursued her certification through Pilates Academy International, and fell in love with how Pilates can strengthen the muscles while lengthening them and be adapted to any fitness level or objective. Pilates helped Jaime run her first marathon and has transformed her chronically weak upper body, allowing her to pursue the art of trapeze. Since obtaining her certification, Jaime has also been certified by the Center for Women's Fitness as Prenatal and Postpartum Exercise Specialist. Jaime looks forward to helping you attain your goals, as well as setting new ones!
