The Founders

Co-Founder

Jaime White

Third-Generation Classical Pilates Instructor

Jaime White is a third-generation Classical Pilates instructor with 20 years of teaching experience. Her clients have ranged from NFL athletes, triathletes, post-rehab, and Pilates apprentices and teachers.

She has been educating and certifying Pilates instructors for over 15 years in the US and Europe. She owned and operated a thriving Pilates and functional training studio for close to a decade before selling it to a staff member who has kept the vision alive and well.

Originally trained and certified in NYC with Authentic Pilates NYC, she went on for extensive training with Brooke Siler, Kathi Ross Nash, Brett Howard and many other leading names in the industry. Her additional education spans FMS, TRX, Titleist, Anatomy & Physiology, XPT Breathwork Performance, Hale Breathwork Performance, Thai Massage and much more — all of which directly influence her teaching style and wealth of knowledge.

Jaime is currently Managing Director of Pilates Voyage Teacher Training for Northern Europe, and currently teaches Pilates education in Northern Europe and the US.

Co-Founder

Mirith Rast

Founder & Certified Pilates Instructor

Mirith Rast is the founder and co-owner of Höllviken Pilates — the person whose vision and dedication brought the studio to life and has guided it since 2024. She completed her full comprehensive Pilates teacher training under Jaime White, beginning in 2020, and holds a Master's degree in Value Chain Management — blending a strong business foundation with her passion for movement and wellness.

Mirith is also certified in Garuda Mat, an education she completed in 2019 with the method's founder, James D'Silva. Created in London, the Garuda Method brings together the core strength and precision of Pilates, the breathwork and asana of yoga, and the grace of dance — an approach that continues to shape the fluidity and intention she brings to her teaching.

She has further deepened her practice through private training with Sarita Allen, the celebrated Alvin Ailey dancer and movement educator. Allen was personally mentored for nearly four decades by Kathy Grant — one of the very few people certified to teach directly by Joseph Pilates himself — placing Mirith within a rare and direct lineage back to the founder of the method.

Her career spans a range of fitness settings, from established fitness centres to private, one-on-one training with high-level executives — giving her a versatile, client-focused approach whether guiding a group session or tailoring a programme to busy professionals. Combining analytical rigour with hands-on instruction, Mirith brings both precision and warmth to her work, helping clients build strength, improve mobility, and move with greater confidence.

Our Instructors

Instructor in Training

Gabrijela Lambe

Instructor

Her journey has been characterised by growth, learning, and a passion for health, with Pilates serving as a recurring theme throughout. After working at and owning a pharmacy, she ventured into a new creative field where she could apply her attention to detail and care for others in new ways.

Her relationship with Pilates began 15 years ago — an immediate love for the practice and its transformative approach to movement and well-being. A 12-year break followed, until a back injury brought her back. After experiencing first-hand how Pilates helped her recover and strengthen her body, she found her way to Höllviken Pilates, where her passion was reignited.

Now pursuing her teacher training under Jaime White and the Rebel Pilates Collective, combining her background in health and wellness with her dedication to helping others discover the benefits of this practice.

Jessica Gustafsson

Certified Mat Instructor

A certified mat instructor completing her comprehensive certificate through Rebel Pilates Collective EU, having finished all modules and now working toward her teaching hours for full certification. Dedicated to making Pilates accessible for everyone at all stages of life.

Her Pilates journey began after her daughter was born in 2019. Her teaching philosophy centres on motivating and challenging each individual — whether a complete beginner, returning after time away, or navigating postpartum recovery.

A Skåne native, she returned home to Höllviken in 2021 after six years abroad, surprised but delighted to find a fully equipped Pilates studio had opened there. Hope to see you in the studio soon!
