I came to Pilates late in life but feel very lucky to be working with Melissa. Her exceptional skills have helped me greatly improve strength, balance, posture and general well-being. Her warmth, humor and perception have made the process a total joy.

Melissa is on the ball! She has great knowledge and uses it efficiently when working with clients. She’s helped me reach my personal goals while bringing a supportive attitude to the table.

Melissa is a gifted instructor with an intuitive style. She knows how to challenge you and also help you recover from an injury. When I leave a session with Melissa, I feel strong, grounded and centered.

I started working with Melissa when I was postpartum with my second child. I was feeling broken after a complicated pregnancy. Her fantastic knowledge helped me build strength, overcome constant hip pain and, slowly but surely, put me back together. I feel stronger and more confident than I have in years, and I am completely pain free. I was able to fall in love with pilates and laugh my way through the process with her. It has been such a pleasure working with Melissa and I highly recommend her!

Being new to Pilates and engaging my body in exercise after many months of neglect, I couldn’t have found a better instructor than Melissa. Her caring focus and attention to my body’s needs and abilities showed me how she tailors each session to the individual client. After several sessions, my body felt stronger and healthier and her continued teachings have made me a regular and happy client

I have worked for over a year. She is very attentive to my specific issues and has been instrumental in building my strength and flexibility. I highly recommend her!

My daughter and I started taking Pilates 5 years ago as a fun mother-daughter activity. Throughout COVID and our other workout/gym activities, Pilates with Melissa remains our go- to. It’s even become a family affair, with my sister enthusiastically joining when she’s in town, my son dropping in occasionally, and my husband working diligently with Melissa as he rehabs from a serious illness. Melissa’s knowledgeable and calm teaching style - whether leading a class, duet, or private - makes everyone feel welcome and ensures we all get an equally great work out in, regardless of our varying experience levels.

Working with Melissa has been game changing for my overall health. She immediately honed in on my upper back and shoulder issues and quickly made a huge difference in my strength and flexibility. Most important, she's helped me feel better overall. I've gone to many pilates instructors and classes and none of them stuck. That all changed when I met Melissa. What I really appreciate is her 360 approach to health. She's helped me incorporate lifestyle changes beyond pilates that have made a huge difference in my daily routine. As a cynical New Yorker, I don't trust often, and I can safely say... I trust Melissa. I'm incredibly grateful for her!
