She credits Pilates for helping her get strong through her most challenging days. Michelle instantly felt connected to the positive energy and welcoming community at Mighty.  Michelle’s passion for being an integral part of the Mighty community helped her quickly rise through the ranks from front desk to Director of Client Experience, Co-Owner of Mighty Pilates Berkeley in 2023 and VP of Operations in 2025.
