YOUR BODY FEELS DIFFERENT. LIFE DOESN’T HAVE TO.
PILATES FOR WOMEN
IN PERIMENOPAUSE
so you can keep moving through your life.
Pilates for a life in
motion
Travel, concerts, and long days out — without everything catching up.
No more planning around your body or paying for it after.
Because your life isn’t slowing down—
Working with me, there’s no studio commute, and no figuring out what workout to do.
During perimenopause and menopause, things shift. What used to work doesn’t land the same anymore.
So the way you train has to change too.
Some days your energy is higher… we push.
Some days you need less… we restore.
That’s how you stay strong without burning out.
work with me
That’s where I come in.
I help women in perimenopause stay active with a portable Pilates practice that fits into their lives.
You don’t need more discipline.
You need a structure that actually holds.
Because when it doesn’t, you slowly start doing less.
This is private concierge Pilates.
Private virtual sessions built to fit into your life,
so you’re not managing the practice on your own.
Live sessions, personalized videos, and check-ins keep you
moving forward—even when schedules change or traveling.
All you need is a mat.
meet Melissa
I'm a New Orleans girl who fell for Pilates the day my mom dragged me to a lesson.
One class and I was hooked. It was fun, it challenged me, and it made me feel unstoppable. I spent years in film PR
before changing direction and building a life around
Pilates—operating my own physical studio in Bristol, UK, and training
thousands of clients for over 20 years.
But when my own transition began, I realized a rigid routine simply
doesn’t work when your hormones and energy fluctuate from week to
week. That was my wake-up call. So, I developed a completely adaptive
way to work with these energy shifts, rather than fighting them.
I’ve always lived a life that moves - stairs, hills, cobblestones, museums,
last-minute plans.
Pilates is what lets me keep up with all of it.
It’s how I manage my energy so I can say yes, travel, move around, and still feel strong and pain-free.
That’s what I now offer.
