Hi, I’m Madeleine—a Pilates instructor, movement enthusiast, and the heart behind Happy Place Pilates.
MY WHY:
After an injury left me in a dark place, both physically and mentally, Pilates became my way back to myself. It didn’t just support my recovery — it helped me rediscover my strength, my joy, and my spark. Happy Place Pilates and Wellness was born from my desire to share that healing with others, creating a space where you can reconnect with your body and feel empowered from the inside out.
MORE ON HAPPY PLACE PILATES & WELLNESS:
I grew up on the beach in Scituate, MA and always felt the ocean was my safe place — a source of calm, strength, and freedom. I fell in love with mermaids at a young age for the way they symbolized powerful, graceful women and the peaceful magic of the water. That’s why I knew a mermaid had to be part of the heart of Happy Place Pilates and Wellness.
ONE LAST NOTE:
I love all forms of Pilates—whether it's working with the full range of apparatus or moving on the mat. One of my favorite ways to move is on the Ladder Barrel, where strength, stretch, and flow come together in such a beautiful and powerful way.
No matter where you're starting from, I'm here to meet you exactly where you are and help you build your own happy place—one movement, one breath, and one win at a time.
