While earning her Degree in Nutrition, Michelle completed multiple fitness certifications, including AFAA Group X, AFAA Small Group Training, Barre Above by Leslie Bender, BI Barre, and SCW Tabata Bootcamp.

Fast forward to 2017, she was introduced to the Pilates Reformer and instantly fell in love. Naturally, she went through the teacher training for Pilates Mat & Reformer. Michelle currently teaches Pilates Mat, Pilates Reformer and Barre classes while also working as a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach.
She was born and raised Boston and currently resides in Laguna Beach. Although, their family and roots mean everything to them, her boyfriend now-husband & her decided to take a leap of faith. As an officer in the Marine Corps, her husband Denis was given the opportunity to take orders in California. He proposed, she said yes and off they went!
