Mel is an avid fan of Yoga and Pilates. These have been a passion for the past 20 years. 

The first step to pursue her dream was studying with Core Pilates, NYC, and she qualified as a Pilates Mat Instructor in 2017. Then, on to Reformer Pilates, studying under Hearts and Bones, NZ, and she qualified as a Pilates Group Reformer Instructor in 2019. Please visit the certificates page to find out more.

Mel taught Group Reformer classes at BodyAlign studio in Lower Hutt. BodyAlign was a large studio with up to twelve students in a class, and she built personal relationships with the lovely clientele while watching the foundation of Pilates benefiting their daily life.

In June 2020 Mel opened her own small Reformer studio at home. She likes the atmosphere offered with small Reformer group classes, and she is passionate about helping women and men through Pilates. 

When she is not focused on Pilates, Mel is pursuing her other passions of health and wellbeing.
