About Michelle

My journey to healing through movement

I’m Michelle Kolb, founder of Moondog Motion. Dance has been my passion since childhood in Baltimore, Maryland, I trained in various styles in Baltimore and then New York and performed professionally in Los Angeles for years.

Chronic injuries from intense dance training threatened to end my career, but discovering Pilates was a turning point, restoring my body and reigniting my love for movement. Certified by the Pilates Sports Center in 2011, I’ve shared this transformative practice for over a decade.

Through my continued personal wellness journey, I explored Reiki, becoming a certified practitioner after experiencing its profound ability to balance energy and emotions. I also discovered the joy of leading therapeutic dance classes for those with neurological challenges like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or stroke recovery, fostering joy and connection through adaptive movement. At my in-home studio in Highland Park/Mount Washington, I offer personalized, empathetic guidance to help you feel stronger, calmer, and more connected, no matter where you are on your wellness path.
