Melissa

I used to be a dive master for a Dive School in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, due to the heavy tanks that we had to carry everyday I started to have lower back pain, so I started looking for a form of exercise that would help me to decreased my everyday pain. I found Pilates in 2005 and was immediately impressed with the changes I saw to both my body and mind. Not only the pain disappeared but I felt stronger, more flexible and my overall wellbeing was greatly improved.

I was hooked by the amazing benefits of this art so I decided to start my professional education.

Unfortunately many changes occurred in my life at that time so I had to stop my Pilates studies but I have never stopped practicing. It was not until last year that I decided to finally continue my studies and I found a great Pilates Academy in Spain.

In April 2021 I completed my certification as Mat and Pilates Equipment Pilates Instructor by Pilates Evidence Academy in Spain.

I have done workshops such as Postnatal and Anatomy of the Spine with the same Academy. I have taken several workshops including myofascial release.

I am thankful for the opportunity Jael has given me in her beautiful studio and committed to work together with you on building a stronger, more confident and more resilient you.

Teaches Mondays and Tuesdays evenings and Sunday mornings.

Élodie

I’m Élodie, a passionate Pilates enthusiast with a heartfelt passion for helping others embrace their true selves and nurture their well-being.

My journey with Pilates began during a challenging time after my son’s birth. Struggling with severe lower back pain from a spinal fracture, I faced years of limited mobility and unsuccessful surgeries and treatments. Hope returned when I attended a class at PilatesByMe with Jael. For the first time in ages, I felt a deep connection between my body and mind. The experience was truly mind-blowing. Within weeks of consistent practice, my anxiety began to lift, after a few months, my body started to change and to heal, and the pain vanished —astonishing even my doctors.

Pilates became my daily therapy, a source of strength, and ultimately my calling. Inspired by this life-changing experience and with Jael’s invaluable mentorship and friendship, I embarked on the path to becoming a certified Pilates teacher. I’m now training with the internationally recognized PilateSwiss specializing in visceral Pilates (endorsed by a large medical advisory board), and will complete my certification by summer 2025.

Today, I combine my coaching expertise, passion for well-being, and love for Pilates to guide others on their journey. Together, we will work toward your goals with a lot of care, kindness, and plenty of fun along the way!

I can’t wait to welcome you to one of my classes and continue on this Pilates journey together!
