Meet the Team
Mel kassouf
FounderHi everyone, I’m Mel founder of Ivory Pilates House 🤍
I created Ivory because there really wasn’t anything like this close to home. As a mom of two, I wanted something that felt easy to get to, worth showing up for, and actually enjoyable.Before Ivory, I built a business in the beauty industry where I’ve spent years working closely with women and creating an experience that feels personal, elevated, and thoughtful. That same energy is what I wanted to bring into this space.
I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing group of women to be part of Ivory. The energy here is everything supportive, welcoming, and genuinely uplifting and that’s exactly how I wanted this space to feel. I’m so exited to share this space with you

Instructor Hi, I’m Liv! I’m currently a student at Ohio University, where I teach mat Pilates on campus. Pilates means so much to me, and I’ve developed such a strong passion for it. It brings me confidence, happiness, and a sense of strength, and I love helping others experience that too.

Ella Pickett
Instructor 
Hi, I’m Ella! For me, Pilates is about so much more than exercise. It’s about creating strength, confidence, and joy through movement. My goal is to make every person who walks into my class feel seen, supported, and leave feeling strong, beautiful, and empowered.
Movement has always been a huge part of my life. After growing up as a gymnast, I’ve spent the past seven years coaching both recreational and competitive gymnastics. Those years taught me the value of patience, encouragement, proper movement, and helping others discover what their bodies are capable of lessons I now carry with me into every Pilates class.
I’m currently completing my Mat and Reformer certifications through Balanced Body, and I’m so grateful to have found a studio that feels like home. I can’t wait to continue growing alongside this incredible community and meet you all. ✨🤍
Viktorija Wolf
Hi, I'm Viktorija! I'm a wife, mom of four, and a passionate Pilates instructor who believes movement is one of the best ways to care for both your body and mind.
My love for health and fitness led me to earn degrees in Health Science and Nursing, giving me a strong foundation in anatomy, movement, and overall wellness. Pilates has become the perfect way for me to combine my healthcare background with my passion for helping others feel stronger, move better, and gain confidence in their bodies.
As a busy mom, I understand how important it is to make time for yourself. My goal is to create classes that are welcoming, intentional, and empowering; whether you're new to Pilates or have years of experience. I want every client to leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and more connected to their body than when they walked in.
I can't wait to move with you and be part of your Pilates journey!
