The Story
-
Ad Vitam’s journey came to life in 2017 with the opening of their first Pilates studio in the heart of Montreal, Canada.
Two years later, in 2019, a second studio was to open also in downtown Montreal.
This is where Ad Vitam also broadened its classes by offering not only Pilates but Barre, Fitness, Yoga, Meditation, Holistic care and hosting wellness events. It became a sanctuary where people would join to sweat as well as take a deep rest from the outside word . A place of freedom where music could be blasting to let everything out as well as total silent to restore the mind. Teachers would know everyone’s name, condition, injuries and their main goals. A place where people would move, breathe, let themself feel freeer and happier.
It’s with tremendous gratitude that we have built such a wonderful community, became friends, saw smile, sweat and tears and were there to help people not only on a physical but also emotional level..

Naïké found out about Pilates after a back injurie and fell in love with it from the very first session. Founding in it’s method, more than a choreography, but a way to treat the body, an art of movement, a mind-body connection. After studying Psychology and Business, she decided to shift her path towards becoming a Pilates teacher and share her love for the method. Stepping back to where she always felt at home growing up, the floor of a studio. Dance, music and movement had always been her passion as well as helping others.
Certified from the American school BASI, Body Art Science International in 2013 (Comprehensive Program and Pathologies &Injuries), she then kept on studying Aromatherapy, Yamuna Body Rolling, Yoga Tune up , Tracey Mallet Barre, Ayurveda massages, Reiki, E.F.T Emotional Freedom Technic, Fascia therapy and Neuroplasticity and Pathokinesiology.
She also had the great honor to be part of the rigorous acceptance of Lolita San Miguel’s Master Teacher training in Zurich, Switzerland in 2017. This last one, to be the only two person who has been certified by Joseph Pilates himself.
She had been a member of the A.N.Q, the Association of Naturotherapist in Quebec since 2016.
Her path has recently brought her to the Netherlands where she is happily embarking on this new chapter to share her love for holistic health and dedicated to helping others in their well-being.
