About

Welcome to Long Island Pilates, where movement meets mindfulness. I’m Melissa—your host and a passionate advocate for wellness and community. Born and raised on Long Island, I’ve always been inspired by the unique spirit of our area: a blend of resilience, connection, and a shared desire to thrive.

​

As a first-time mom, I found my way back to Pilates during a season when I was searching to feel like myself again. The practice became more than movement—it restored my strength, confidence, and sense of balance. This podcast is an extension of that journey, created as a space for health, fitness, and meaningful conversations that uplift and inspire.

​

With a BA in Media and Communications, hosting has always been a dream of mine. By combining my love for storytelling with my passion for wellness, I created Long Island Pilates to connect with others who are seeking strength, serenity, and community. Here, everybody is welcome—and every story matters.

​

Let’s reform our strength and refresh our souls together. Whether you’re a Pilates enthusiast or just beginning your journey, this is your space to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
