About Laressa

Laressa Mems was born and raised in Flint, MI, but is now a resident of Oak Park, MI. She has been a Certified Pilates Instructor through STOTT since 2012. Her goals are to help people understand how their individual bodies work, and to teach them how to stay strong and healthy. She enjoys working with all body types and ages, and prides herself in being able to modify exercises to each individual. She is a very detailed instructor, and likes to focus on how well her clients do the exercises by correcting their form, rather than just giving a generic workout. Along with teaching Pilates, Laressa is also a professional dancer. She started her training under Dan Durkacy at the Flint Dance Center, and continued her training under Karen Mills-Jennings at the Flint School of Performing Arts. She received her Bachelor of Science in Dance Degree (Cum Luade) from Wayne State University in 2011. She currently dances for Big Red Wall Dance Company (Artistic Director, Erika “Red” Stowall), based in Detroit, MI.
