Jaime Parker, Ph.D.

---

Jaime Parker, Ph.D., has more than 25 years of health and wellness experience.  She owns Bali Blue Wellness, which specializes in wellness coaching for individuals and large groups about movement and fitness, positive lifestyle improvements, and plant-based nutrition. She is an accomplished international presenter, with audiences ranging from ten to more than a thousand.

She previously served as Associate Director for the Wellness Council of Arizona for more than a decade and has provided holistic health coaching to thousands of clients both in-person and remotely. She is a fitness instructor, certified personal trainer, and nutrition educator, having taught in elementary and college classrooms as well as presented to large groups at companies, cities, major events, and health clubs and fitness centers. 

Jaime is a nationally certified Pilates Instructor through Physical Mind Institute, which requires more than 700 hours of comprehensive teaching and training. She currently teaches Pilates at The Firm Body Training Center in Scottsdale, in addition to leading a variety of fitness classes at Life Time, Village Health Clubs, and The Estancia Club. 

As an adolescent, Jaime was diagnosed with severe scoliosis. She wore a back brace for four years, which not only severely restricted her day-to-day mobility, but led to a 60-pound weight gain.

In adulthood, she found a love of all types of movement, specifically running and Pilates. She has completed 50 full marathons (including multiple Boston   marathons), hundreds of shorter-distance runs, and several triathlons.  

Jaime also overcame a personal cancer scare in her mid-30s. She attributes much of her healing to a plant-based, holistic nutrition lifestyle.  

In her free time, she greatly values her commitment and efforts with philanthropic work. She served as the Race Director for the Oklahoma City Kids’ Memorial for over a decade, which raised millions of dollars for the Oklahoma City Memorial, honoring those forever affected by the 1995 Murrah Federal building bombing. Locally, she is an active volunteer with Foster Arizona, March of Dimes, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Girl Scouts, and The Salvation Army. 

Jaime’s professional, down-to-earth and relatable approach provides a comfortable and successful experience for her clients as they move into a healthier and more energized chapter of life.
