Welcome to Rosehip Pilates

I came to see Jackie with persistent shoulder pain and stiffness that was affecting even the simplest daily tasks. Her supportive, knowledgable approach immediately put me at ease. Through gentle, targeted work, she helped release the tightness around my shoulder and eased the deep ache that had been bothering me for months.

What truly set her apart was how she supported me on my healing journey. She not only listened closely and adjusted her techniques to what my body needed, but she also gave me the confidence to rebuild my strength and mobility through Clinical Pilates. She is an exceptional pilates instructor who tailors every movement with such intention that I always feel supported, challenged and safe.

Thanks to her care, I have regained comfort, mobility, and a renewed sense of hope I didn't think I would feel again.

Jackie Noel is an excellent RMT and even better person. Jackie is very knowledgeable on the human body and her massage therapy skills helped cure chronic lower back pain (SI Joint) issues that I lived with. Jackie knows just the right amount of pressure to apply during her massages. She reaches the deep tissues yet limits the amount of pain her client experiences. I enjoyed and benefited from Jackie's massage therapy for many years. Her massage treatments never feel rushed and she gets to know her clients on a personal basis. Jackie takes a genuine interest in her clients lives and offers insightful words of encouragement helping clients deal with stress in their lives. Jackie gets a 5 star rating from me!

You were such an awesome RMT and I appreciate our friendship. Let's keep in touch!

Since starting my Pilates with Jackie I have seen an incredible change in my movement and strength. I started Clinical Pilates because of my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility related injuries including lower back pain and chronic joint instability. Through this consistent and comprehensive work with her, I have seen a huge reduction in my chronic pain. Jackie is an excellent practitioner who is patient and adaptable. When a movement isn't working for my body she is skilled in finding the correct way to modify it, or cue in a different way. I never feel pressured to be perfect, but perfect for my body's needs and limitations. Also, as a massage therapist, she also is able to provide treatment beyond Pilates which provides balance in my care. I couldn't be happier with the progress I have made and I highly recommend Rosehips.

I was referred to Jackie by my physiotherapist after more than a year of limited mobility and chronic nerve pain from my spine and abdominal surgery. From my first session, she created a safe and supportive environment that allowed me to reconnect with movement again.

Through clinical Pilates on the reformer and thoughtful use of props, Jackie has helped me rebuild core strength, pelvic stability, and overall mobility, always coordinating movement with breath. When needed, she incorporates hands-on manual work to release tension and guide joints through healthy movement patterns, which has been incredibly valuable. She also provides clear and practical exercises to continue progress between sessions.

Jackie brings genuine enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and a warm, welcoming energy to every appointment. She meets you exactly where you are on any given day, adapting with creativity and encouragement. Her ability to view the body as an integrated system, not just isolated joints, has helped me move more confidently and functionally in everyday life.

I am sincerely grateful for the role she has played in my recovery, and continued progress. We are learning together and finding more gratitude and self- compassion along the way, because recovery is rarely a linear process - yet Jackie has truly made this path feel supported, hopeful and possible. 

Following the birth of my 4th boy, I started working with Jackie on the reformer to rebuild my core strength.

During our session's Jackie observed the limited rotation of my shoulder due to an injury and I started to see her for massage and immediately saw substantial improvement with overall movement and rotation. Jackie's intuitive ability to listen to the body along with being able to integrate movement and whole body strengthening is like no other l've come across. Strongly recommend Jackie for Pilates or Massage.

Jackie is cheerful, positive and lovely to work with. She was very patient- demonstrating and explaining the Pilates exercises so clearly and helping me with the equipment.  As a massage therapist, she was awesome!  I really got the sense that I was cared for as a person, not just a client. We will miss her in North Vancouver.

I have been seeing Jackie Noel (RMT) for massage therapy since May, 2023. Since the first visit I noticed a substantial improvement in my shoulder, neck, and lower back. Jackie has an amazing ability to know exactly what is needed to support healing in these areas. I had injured my shoulder several years ago and had not found any specific treatment to be as effective as my massage sessions with Jackie. 

During one of the sessions I mentioned that I would like to build up strength in my supporting muscles. Jackie asked me if I’d like to try Pilates on the Reformer. I tried it out and loved it. I signed up for 10 sessions. Jackie’s classes are fun and varied with attention to building up core muscles. 

I will miss Jackie so much. I wish her and her family the best in their new home.

I started seeing Jackie when I turned 40 to help with my lack of flexibility and range of motion. It has drastically improved my core strength, helping my posture and lower back pain from my desk job. The work I have done with Jackie has increased my strength and stability with soccer and hiking. The clinical Pilates approach tailors each class to what my body needs most, ensuring everything improves together.
