"Mary Ellen Wells is an exceptional Pilates teacher. As an educated and practicing Physical Therapist, she is able to provide her students with an exercise program that strengthens the body while having a minimum impact on physical stress. Her group exercises are creative and fun. So, I look forward to class each week. Eight months ago, I began taking her classes and, at the same time, returned to riding horses after a six year hiatus. Both disciplines are symbiotic. They both require strength and flexibility. I am grateful to have Mary Ellen as a Pilates teacher. She has guided me to attain life enriching physical goals."

"When dealing with chronic pain, it can be hard to find a physical therapist who truly understands the fluctuations in needs and nuances that go along with managing it. Mary Ellen understands this and much more. I started out taking one of her 6 week classes on long term pain management and decided to start seeing her for physical therapy as well. She has helped me through a year of ups and downs with my physical health while still helping me achieve progress. I've learned to cope with my pain in many different ways while slowly regaining strength that I had lost over years of fibromyalgia taking its toll. I've been able to develop and maintain a manageable exercise regimen with her help. She also runs a weekly exercise class for people living with chronic pain that gives you a place to exercise at your own pace, with a group of people all going through similar things. It's a very relaxing and energizing experience. She really gets to know your personal situation and needs and tailors her approach to you. Our work together has been extremely valuable. I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking physical therapy, especially people dealing with chronic pain". Alex Jansons, 32 year old female with Fibromyalgia
