Jane Hamilton Pilates

jane hamilton pilates

Edinburgh,

Over the last 12 years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed teaching Pilates to many people of all ages and abilities, and with varying muscle and joint problems, back issues and health conditions. I started my complementary healthcare training 19 years ago, qualifying in 2002 with a diploma from the London School of Sports Massage. I returned to my home city of Edinburgh that year, successfully building up a client base and running the complementary healthcare clinic Happy Being for 12 years in the west end, until 2020. Back in 2009, I decided to train as a Pilates teacher and qualified with a certificate in mat Pilates teaching Level 3 CYQ (Central YMCA Qualifications). This came from a desire to help my massage clients develop the tools to care for their own bodies rather than relying on regular massage treatments and doing their own exercises between sessions with varying results. The two disciplines successfully ran side by side, with many people coming to the clinic for both massage treatments and Pilates classes. In 2016 I developed my physiological and anatomical knowledge and practical skills further by achieving an advanced remedial massage diploma from the Scottish School of Sports Massage. I apply the knowledge I gained through this training to my Pilates teaching, drawing on a deeper understanding of the human body and how it works. I am constantly developing ideas, combining my vision with a structured modern approach. I’ve worked with many clients with varying levels of fitness and health conditions, from athletes to those with chronic fatigue syndrome CFS/ ME. I start with the 8 fundamental principles of the Pilates Method and the many Pilates movements to bring about new ideas. These are often from varying disciplines which I’ve studied and practised over the years such as Qigong, Tai Chi and even meditation with breath work. Many of the balance, warm-up stretches and cool-down movements in the classes are Qigong-based.

The Highland Holistic Massage School is based in Inverness in the beautiful Scottish Highlands and is a trusted provider of courses for the complete beginner to the trained therapist. The school was set up by myself to provide training for those with a passion for holistic therapies without the need to travel out with the area. I began my career in 1998 in my hometown of Glasgow where I achieved my Diploma in Professional Clinical Aromatherapy. I moved to the Highlands in 2001 where I continued to study various therapies. My passion for helping others through my therapies has taken me as far afield as the Wat Po Medical School in Bangkok, Thailand, where I studied and trained in Thai Massage. I see my clients at The Aroma Touch in Inverness where I provide the following treatments: Aromatherapy, Reflexology, Fertility Reflexology, Pregnancy Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Traditional Thai Foot Massage, Hopi Ear Candling, Thai Compress Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Advanced and Deep Tissue Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Natural Lift Facial Massage/Facial Rejuvenation, Chair/Seated Acupressure On Site Massage, Thai Traditional Massage, Emotional Freedom Technique, Oncology Massage, Foot Reading and Reiki.
