Michelle Deer

Functional movement and cancer exercise specialist

My love of Pilates began with my first class and has grown into becoming a Comprehensive Pilates Instructor. I was looking for a way to strengthen my body and what I found with Pilates is the ability to strengthen with control while gaining flexibility. I had NO idea a body could move in such a way. In January 2013 when offered the chance to help others I quickly jumped at the opportunity and started my training to become a Pilates Instructor. In March 2014, I passed my practical exam and was awarded my Comprehensive certificate. In July 2019 I passed my National Certification to become a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher. In October of 2019 I completed a course to work with Cancer Patients. After losing my mother at a young age, as well as other family members, to cancer, I have always had a special place in my heart to help those who have battled the disease. 

In addition to my comprehensive Pilates certification, I also bring with me certificates of training in BioCored, Bodhi, Arcus, Anatomy in 3D, Yoga Fit, Neuro Movement, Cancer Exercise Specialist and Osteoporosis. While I am not a golfer, I have attended courses on how to help improve swings and what to look for in posture, a few golf clients have reported straighter longer shots with little to no back pain.
