Michaela was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area. After working at a health club in college, she aspired to someday become a certified fitness instructor and help others through exercise. She knew she found movement she was passionate about after taking her first Pilates class. Pilates was like nothing she had ever done before and she always leaves the studio feeling stronger, more confident and eager to return for more.

Michaela loves being able to utilize her medical training when teaching to ensure others learn more about their bodies all while building the fundaments Joseph Pilates shared. When she is not in the studio or working as a PA, she spends her free time with her growing family just recently having a baby boy!
