Ready to start your Pilates journey from the comfort of your home?

I’m ready to train you virtually—whether you have a reformer, Pilates apparatuses, or just a desire to move and feel better.

I’m Lisa M, a certified Pilates instructor, and my love for Pilates began in 1998 while living in Miami. What started as a personal practice quickly became my passion, leading me away from the fast-paced world of News Assignment Editor and into a more fulfilling career centered around The Mind-Body Movement of Pilates.

For me, learning to slow the mind down first is key—something I instill in every client I work with.

My journey led me to co-found Townsend Street Pilates in Birmingham, Michigan. For 15 years, I dedicated myself to helping clients transform their bodies while mentoring and inspiring other trainers.

Now, I’ve taken my expertise even further by launching Pilates Plus With Lisa M, bringing Pilates straight to you, wherever you are. The pandemic reshaped my business model, proving that Pilates can be just as effective outside the studio.

I’m certified in Stott Pilates, Balance Body, and Power Pilates, with specialties in injury prevention, osteoporosis care, and athletic training. My greatest joy comes from seeing the changes Pilates creates—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me boxing, hiking, traveling, and spending time with my children and fiancé. I’m also passionate about giving back, working with young girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to help them find strength and confidence—both inside and out.
