About Mind Body Pilates PDX
Meet Michelle
Michelle discovered Pilates as a way to manage lifelong back pain and became certified in 2018. After seven years of teaching, she opened Mind Body Pilates in Portland in 2025. She believes Pilates is for every body and creates an empowering environment where all clients feel successful. She has extensive experience supporting individuals with neurological conditions (MS, aphasia), scoliosis, post-cancer recovery, and those in larger bodies — though her classes welcome clients of all levels and abilities.
When she's not teaching, Michelle feeds her "pet" squirrel, Rooney, hunts down quirky Portland events, plans elaborate international birthday trips (yes, there's a difference between a trip and a vacation), and advocates for social justice.
