Melissa Gives Back

Teasers For Tatas

Melissa founded Teasers for Tatas 2016 after completing her own breast cancer treatment. Her goal was to celebrate the strength of breast cancer Patients, Previvors, Thrivers and Survivors who regain their relationships with their bodies through the practice of Pilates. Participants in this one-day Pilates event strengthen their own bodies while raising money to help Patients, Previvors and Survivors strengthen theirs.

Dubin Breast Center Pilates

Melissa credits her Pilates practice with helping her stay mentally and physically strong after being diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40. For that reason, she offers weekly virtual Pilates classes to patients undergoing treatment at Mount Sinai’s Dubin Breast Center in NYC.
