Our Team

Michelle is a dancer turned rock climber who's journeyed through a myriad of injuries. Pilates became her sanctuary, aiding in her healing process by managing pain and restoring balance to her body. Certified through STOTT PILATES® and specializing in scoliosis as an Authorized Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner, she brings a unique blend of expertise to each session.

With a background steeped in dance and movement, she offers dynamic, full-bodied sessions infused with levity and laughter. Her passion lies in motivating individuals through appropriately challenging exercises, harnessing the mind-body connection to propel them towards their goals, be it rehabilitation or fitness. While working with people of all different ages and abilities, she encourages individuals to find wellness; improving strength, alignment, and awareness through movement education. She appreciates and embraces everyone’s differences in anatomy, personality, and learning style; therefore designing sessions tailored for the individual, allowing for optimal progression. 

Her unique experience enables her to work with a broad range of populations, including those with injuries and special needs such as scoliosis, pre-and post-natal, osteoporosis, knee and hip replacements, spinal fusions, disk herniations, labral tears, arthritis, and chronic low back pain. Scoliosis holds a special place in her heart, and she is dedicated to empowering both adults and children through the Scolio-Pilates® method. By focusing on elongation, breath, and strength, we pave the path to a more active life with improved pain management, posture, and function.

With over 15 years of Pilates teaching experience and a commitment to continuing education, Michelle is thrilled to embark on this journey with you, whether it's for rehabilitation or a vigorous workout,  she is excited to work with you!
