Melanie Maure

Melanie MaureMel has 10 extensive years of training and experience in wellness consulting, fitness training, injury re-conditioning, and instructing the fusion of Pilates, yoga and meditation. Prior to relocating to B.C., Mel owned and operated a successful wellness studio called Beyond Measure in Chatham Ontario.

She moved west to fulfill a dream of living in beautiful B.C. ! Mel knew this was home the day she arrived and absorbed the lifestyle. In the time Mel has been in the Okanagan, she has started a company called Living Balance whose mission statement is as follows:

Living Balance teaches Pilates, Yoga, Nutrition, Fitness and Meditation to its clients to achieve integrated wellness of body, mind and spirit and in return Living Balance receives abundant steady referrals.

Mel facilitates approximately 5 classes per week at OHP as well as 5-6 one to one sessions and wellness consultations per week. All of the classes & one to one sessions she teaches contain a balance of body, mind and spirit through the fusion of Pilates, yoga and meditation.

Mel has recently expanded her career. She has begun working at Elizabeth Fry Society assisting women in their recovery from sexual abuse through the use of Yoga movements, breathing techniques and meditation.

“...My purpose is a simple yet rather sizeable task at times; I am committed to walking along side women who know they have been created with a God given purpose in life. I teach them how to care for and love their bodies through common sense and balance as they move through the challenges inherent with living a purpose filled life. There is nothing more crucial for these people than to maintain a balance of physical, spiritual and mental ease and I have been blessed with the gifts and wisdom of how to help individuals accomplish this. My level of commitment to them has to match their level of commitment to their purpose.

As a teacher and healer I live everyday being greatful for balance in my life and the opportunity to share this skill with those around me. I am humbled in saying that the joy of my business is a continually transforming gift from God.“
