| Brenda Richtmyer- Instructor

Brenda discovered the benefits of Pilates exercises while vacationing at a health-spa resort in Taos, New Mexico.
Upon her return home, she continued her Pilates training with Melissa Siple and soon found that she no longer suffered from low back pain and that her posture greatly improved. Her intense interest in Pilates led her to become an instructor in the Stott Pilates method.
Brenda moved to the East Greenwich area in 1997, where she currently practices massage therapy. Brenda graduated from the Swedish Institute of Massage Therapy in New York City in 1996. Her knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology couples perfectly with Pilates.
Brenda is a proud Mat & Reformer instructor here at Melissa's studio, and is eager to take on new students!
