Michelle is originally from the Sacramento area where she first started her Pilates practice until an opportunity brought her to the Bay Area over ten years ago. She had taken a few classes here or there over the years, but once she found Power4 post pandemic, she fell in love with the practice all over again and it became her happy place. Coming to the studio every day was her escape and reset from her full time job and busy life. During the pandemic, she had really not moved her body much and had missed the group workout aspect that a group reformer class provides.

Michelle loved the way she was feeling now practicing Pilates regularly and wanted to deepen her practice while also planning for the next phase of her life. That led her to signing up for the Teacher Training program. Next thing you know, she is teaching and enjoying not just coming to the studio to take classes but to teaching the Power4 community. She finds it to be such an encouraging place to learn, both as a student and teacher, and truly loves the community she's found at Power4.

Michelle spends the majority of her week being a lawyer, but enjoys the respite of Power4. She also loves to travel and is always looking forward to her next vacation.
