This was my first class back on the reformer after having knee surgery last year. Melissa was considerate of the challenge I am up against with my knee and made sure to modify each workout for me if needed. The class was the perfect challenge to regain confidence in moving and trusting my body again.

Melissa introduced me to Pilates. She does a great job of explaining things, making adjustments, and providing alternative options due to injuries. I highly recommend her for all experience levels!
— Joseph H.
Melissa made me feel so comfortable during our private trainings. She listened to my specific body needs based off my exercise routine and focused on where I could create more expansion and balance. It felt truly holistic!

I live a fairly active lifestyle and I can honestly say participating in mat Pilates classes with Take Good Care was eye opening - in the best way! Melissa is very intentional and patient when it comes to client form and providing modifications.
