MELISSA C
Melissa grew up in Brussels, with a mixed Italian and Israeli background that deeply shapes who she is. She started riding two years ago almost by accident, after a friend invited her to a class at ANIMO. At first, it was a total “what am I doing here?” moment—intense, unfamiliar, and completely outside her comfort zone. But then something clicked. The connection to the music, the energy in the room, and the power of collective movement changed everything. What began as simple curiosity quickly turned into a strong passion.
As a coach, Melissa is determined, caring, and unapologetically pushy, always encouraging people to move beyond their limits while feeling supported. Outside the studio, she works as a psychologist in child protection and domestic violence services in Brussels. Music, attachment psychology, human connection, and a constant thirst for learning strongly influence both her life and her rides.
