What Students and Parents Are Saying

Melissa is a rare gem. She has an intuitive understanding of an athlete’s body, and helps increase and balance strength on both sides of the body - something we didn’t even realize was an issue. She builds strength in targeted muscles for incredible form and injury prevention for the exact moves my daughter wants to master. She is so warm and kind and just amazing to work with - we love her!!

Melissa is truly the best! From the very first class, my daughter absolutely loved her. She walked out overjoyed and said, “Mom! I’ve never held a handstand this long before!” Since that day, she’s been excited and eager to go back. Coach Melissa has a special gift—not only does she bring warmth and encouragement to her sessions, but she also pays close attention to detail, refining even the skills that are already halfway mastered all while being motivating and supportive! Whether your child is a beginner or at a higher skill level, Melissa is simply outstanding. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! The progress my daughter has made under her guidance is remarkable, and most importantly, she’s loving every moment of it!

My daughter had a lesson with Coach Melissa. She helped her learn so much. She built her confidence so much at the first lesson, She cannot wait to go back!!
