MELODY HIERLING

I’m Melody, owner and teacher at Starlight Pilates.

I have been immersed in the practice and study of Pilates for over two decades. I founded Starlight Pilates as a way to share this knowledge and forward the growth of true therapeutic movement. I am dedicated to cultivating a vibrant, inclusive Pilates community. My experience spans a wide range of client needs, including scoliosis, sports conditioning, pre- & post-natal, osteoporosis, pelvic health, sciatica, low-back pain and injury recovery. I am thoughtful, intuitive, and grounded in compassion. I love what I do and the creativity it inspires. Working with people in motion is my absolute passion.

I am a Balanced Body Advanced Movement Practitioner (2026) and completed my Comprehensive Pilates Instructor Certificate from Balanced Body Education in 2018. I apprenticed with Carrie-Ann Belanger at VEZA Pilates. My experience in both Classical and Contemporary Pilates has been a huge contribution to my practice. I follow current science and research related to the human body in movement. Each client is a unique embodiment of the human experience. With intention, repetition and integrity you will feel and see the impact of Pilates in everything you do.

Starlight Studio is equipped with high quality Balanced Body branded equipment including the ladder barrel, wunda chair, trapeze table (Cadillac) and reformers. The reformers are Studio reformers fitted with the innovative Konnector strap system.
