About Melissa

I trained under Julie Toren of Power Pilates, owner of BodyMind Balance, in Hyde Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. Apprenticed and worked at The Pilates Studio in Downtown Mason, Ohio owned by Carla Brown and Morgan Browning. Beginning in 2013 with Prereq Mat Training and taught in my home studio clients that followed me throughout my comprehensive 9 month Apparatus Training. Graduated from The Ohio State University in Communications, my priority is my family, and passion is Pilates! I love continuing ed, and keeping up with new variations or deepening my workout with Pilatesology and Pilates Anytime apps from instructors around the world! My personal favorites are Sonje Mayo, Benjamin Degenhardt, Kathi Ross Nash, and Kira Lamb. I have a varied client base from highlevel athletes, young theater professionals to strong seniors with osteoporosis who you would never know otherwise . I love to continue to learning, and since 2013 have been keeping true to how Joseph Pilates taught. I enjoy challenges and love to address structural body issues due to scoliosis, tight fascia and the overuse of certain muscles. My equipment in my studio includes Peak Reformer & Tower, Pilates Designs Baby Chair, High Wunda Chair combo, Gratz Pedipull, Ladder Barrel and other barells, and toe correctors, etc. Enjoy your breath and movement today with making it your best day you can!
