ABOUT ME: JAMIE HOLCOMB "THE HOLISTIC HULK"
My Story: Part 1: "The Hulk"
I grew up in Southern California and got my childhood nickname “The Hulk” from my last name Holcomb and family line of athletes & entrepreneurs who always give 110% effort in everything.
I continued the family legacy by becoming an elite-level multi-sport athlete, team captain & all-A student, but soon the “push through” mentality caught up to me. Mental burnout & a stress-fracture to my L5-S1 spine my senior year of high school ended my sports career & cancelled my track & field and soccer college scholarships.
In college as a ‘non-athlete student’, I had an identity crisis with who I was off the field. But, I found a love for event planning & bringing the community together. Unfortunately, I continued to transfer the same perfectionism to my career in Corporate Events and faced burnout again with many health issues. I was finally called to make a change and dove into my holistic health journey through Pilates, active/recovery stretch, nutrition, programs with health & life coaches, and my Christian Faith!
My Story: Part 2: "The Holistic Hulk"
“The Hulk” transformed like a Butterfly into “The Holistic Hulk” when I desired to share these holistic practices to help others also feel empowered & balanced for long term health & happiness.
I embarked on years of teacher training programs and am now a certified Active/Recovery Stretch Mobility teacher, Mat Pilates teacher, Lagree Megaformer teacher, and in-progress Pilates Reformer teacher. Now, I bring unique Pilates Strength, Active/Recovery Stretch mobility classes with curated music playlists & inspiring messages to the community, with a specialty in youth athletes & sports teams to thrive on and off the field, Pilates in the Park, City programs, Employee Wellness, & Faith-based workouts! I also launched Wellness on Wheels that brings custom Pilates & Stretch classes & premium equipment directly to you!
In 2025 the mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming were calling and I took the leap of Faith to answer and leave everything behind in my hometown in Southern California! Off the mat, I love live music, quality time with friends/family, hiking & snowboarding, and going to church!
LET'S GET PERSONAL...
WHY THE BUTTERFLY?
My ‘Papa Bill’ was my role model & #1 fan and had a blue butterfly tattoo that he used to remind us to JUST HAVE FUN & take one step at a time: “Right foot left foot, breathe.” The butterfly's transformation from caterpillar - cocoon - butterfly has related to my life's obstacles, new chapters, growth, and releasing the past & old ways. This symbolism aligns perfectly with my Faith journey becoming a NEW CREATION in Christ. I also got the same butterfly tattoo in his honor!
Faith moves mountains: Jesus changed my life when I was 31 & got baptized. My 2 younger sisters Jenna & Juliet brought God into my life by leading by example. My favorite Bible verse I live by is Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” reminding us that God gave us all unique purposes that are meant to shine out to the world to make it a better place, and bring people closer to God’s goodness!
Family First: my family is everything to me and continues to be my biggest support system. I am always so grateful for the love, wisdom, & encouragement of my mom Janet, dad Ted, grandma Jane, grandma Lorene, Papa Jim, Papa Bill, grandpa Harry, grandma Sheila, grandma Terry, my sisters Jenna and Juliet, honorary little bro Matt, and fur bros Walter & Charlie.
